| hi Jim , Defenders of the crown is close to my heart and so is your Disney work (on and off Amiga) aswell :) (odd that no one else mentioned that...)
if you ever attended AmiWest or simmilar community events then i am sure a lot of people would go there just to shake your hand and hear your stories about the golden age :)

I see you are probably to young to remember

| Saucer Attack was the BEST!
I bought it the day I saw it in a Compute!'s Gazette !
And I was living in Japan at the time...
Thanks for all your great work and DOTC Jim!

| Aaah, what lovely memories! Seeing pictures of a A500 with screenshots of Defender of the crown in the former GDR mayde me wanting an Amiga whatever the cost! Some years later including movement with my parents and my brother to the FRG and some hard holiday jobs the time has come! And Defender of the crown was one of the first if not t h e first games I played on my Amiga!
But one question: From which game is the screenshot next to the first building picture of this thread? |

| Ciao Jim...
I always apprecciated your artwork, and I also know that in the first times you drawn pictures for videogames on early Amiga 1000 systems with alpha-version paint software, and that you were almost forced to drawn literally by clicking pixel by pixel, because there were no complete painting tools in the software...
I also know you created animations of DOTC by creating a sort of your-own cell-animation system and working in joint-team with the coders of cinemaware that made for you a sort of primitive animation editing tool, before any similar Amiga anim software were created.
WOW! when I read that, I got astonished... 
And you also contributed in realizing Brilliance software.
Your work really contributed in making the Amiga a great platform. 
Sure you got all my respect.
I hope to see in the future a Serene Screen Aquarium™ version for Amiga made by yourself...
The clone versions we have of your aquarium simulator animated screensaver are all suc*ing!
(and for those who ignore what SereneScreen Aquarium is, here follows the link to the homesite:

| Wow - nice to have comment from such a talent. Your work has never been anything less than impressive.
Would be nice to have something here for you to come back to but at the moment it is very much a work in progress.
Best of luck with your new build.

| @Jim Sachs,
I had the pleasure of meeting you at a user group meeting in Riverside, Calif. many years ago. You were promoting Brilliance, which was not released yet and entertained the group with your Lagoon picture, (which was not finished at that time) and a funny animation that showed yourself and an animated crow which you interacted with. Great user meeting from the "Good-Ole-Days" of Amiga.
Hope you can attend next year's AmiWest Show, and I would love to visit your new home some time in the future (retired custom home designer & contractor & Director of Building & Safety/Building Official).
