How Often Is the Amiga Graphics Archive Updated?
Updated
The Amiga Graphics Archive does not follow a fixed schedule. Updates are posted to an "Updates" section on the homepage with a date for each entry, and the cadence varies: some months bring a single themed image, others bring large batches of logos or book scans. The most reliable way to follow new content is the site's RSS feed or its social accounts (Mastodon, Facebook, Twitter), since the homepage only shows the most recent entries.
What the update log actually looks like
The archive publishes dated notes describing what was added, rather than a changelog with version numbers or a fixed "every X weeks" promise. From the entries shown on the site:
| Date | What was added |
|---|---|
| 01.07.2026 | A single-image month, plus additional images from artists already in the archive |
| 25.06.2026 | An anniversary entry: an image by Jim Sachs called Multimedia, restored from a badly scaled version |
| 14.06.2026 | A large collection of logos from Rainbow Arts, reLINE, and Titus, including animated ones |
| 12.05.2026 | More images from Das Grosse Amiga Jahrbuch 1987, including many page scans |
Two patterns stand out. First, the rhythm is irregular — a month can be one image or a bulk import. Second, the content type shifts: sometimes it is a single restored artwork, sometimes a category-wide dump (logos, scans, a specific publisher's output).
Why the pace varies
The archive describes itself as a curated gallery of high-quality and rare pixel art made with or for the Commodore Amiga. That framing explains the uneven cadence: additions depend on what the maintainer finds, restores, or receives, not on a production schedule. The 25.06.2026 entry is a good example — the Multimedia image had to be restored "pretty close to its original state" from a poorly scaled source before it could be published. Restoration work like that takes time and can't be batched on demand.
The 12.05.2026 entry shows the other side: a book like Das Grosse Amiga Jahrbuch 1987 yields many page scans at once, but the maintainer notes that some images in it were already present in other collections, and the "artsy or kids drawings" still couldn't be found. So even a bulk source doesn't translate into a complete, predictable upload.
How to follow new additions
- RSS feed — listed under the site's Social section; best if you want updates without checking the homepage.
- Mastodon, Facebook, Twitter — also listed under Social, useful if you already use one of those platforms.
- The Updates section itself — shows the latest entries with dates, plus a "See more updates..." link for older ones.
If you only check the homepage occasionally, you'll see the newest few entries but may miss the reasoning behind them (restorations, source books, publisher batches). The RSS feed or a social follow avoids that.
What this means if you're using the archive
If you're browsing for a specific artist, publisher, or era, don't wait for the update feed — use the site's category navigation (Applications, Artists, Games, Logos, Publications, Sceners, Specials) and treat updates as a supplement. If you're tracking the archive as a long-running project, the update log is the record: it shows what was added and, in several cases, why an item was hard to source or restore. The site has been running since 2008, and the 25.06.2026 entry marks 18 years of that effort, so the update history is itself part of the archive's value.
