Retro Games Limited has commissioned award-winning pixel artist Klas Benjaminsson to produce a new piece titled "Beyond the Screen" using an original Amiga 1200, the company said as part of promotional material for the forthcoming THEA1200 launch campaign.
The Amiga 1200, a home computer originally released by Commodore in 1992, remains celebrated for its role in 1990s digital art and demoscene culture.
Benjaminsson created Beyond the Screen at a 640 × 512 resolution and intentionally limited the palette to 32 colours to match the Amiga's period constraints.
Retro Games Limited describes the composition as bringing together wildlife, lush vegetation and ocean life bursting from the display of an Amiga computer, an aesthetic that echoes classic Amiga-era pixel and demo art.
In his remarks, Benjaminsson reflected on what the platform enabled creatively, saying he was struck by how the Amiga encouraged imaginative problem-solving and hands-on workflows.
He explained he began with pencil sketches on paper and then completed the artwork using the original Amiga 1200 and its creative toolset, calling the process a nostalgic return to a time when creativity felt immediate and personal.
Retro Games Limited framed the piece as both a tribute to the Amiga's digital-art heritage and the opening act of a wider collaboration with PosterSpy.
According to the company's announcement, PosterSpy will invite artists from its community to reinterpret Benjaminsson's original work in contemporary styles and tools; finished pieces will be showcased as part of the THEA1200 launch campaign.
Retro Games Limited is best known for bringing classic home-computer and console experiences to modern audiences through recent hardware revivals such as THEC64 and THEA500 Mini.
The company has used curated hardware and community-driven art initiatives in past marketing efforts to highlight the cultural legacy of retro computing.
Beyond the Screen stands out both for its technical fidelity to Amiga-era limits and for its role in the THEA1200 campaign.
The collaboration ties a veteran pixel artist, a dedicated retro-hardware maker, and an online poster community into a single promotional push that underscores the continued interest in classic computing platforms and pixel art craftsmanship.
