World Premiere of Amiga

Andy Warhol made an electronic portrait of Debbie Harry during the Amiga 1000 World Premiere
  I came across this video during one of my YouTube journeys. It is still a quite impressive footage to watch, especially considering the technical advancement at that time. It was 1985 and apart from the Mac pretty much all other computers ran command-line interfaces. That changed on July the 23rd when Amiga 1000 came out. It featured color graphics with impressive 4096 colors palette and 4-channel digital stereo sound. Whoever owned a computer back then knows how superior that machine was.

The famous "Robocity" animation was also shown for the first time
  Now, all Amiga fans can enjoy it here thanks to Rasvoja who converted this presentation from VHS and uploaded it to YouTube.
