I always loved your artwork Jim. Defender of the Crow especially of course. I had never seen anything like it. I played it on C64 first and was amazed by computer magazines showing the Amiga version. Got to play that later too and spent lots of time just looking at the graphics.

Let me get this straight, the legendary Cinemaware artist is building a house identical to a design he made on Amiga years ago?

How cool is that??

The pictures you've seen are related to the old House in California. Now he's building a new house that recall the old fashiuned house of Amiga. I will upload an image of the building soon.

Yes, it's so nice.

Defender of the Crown, I also spent hours playing it in my C64. Nice graphics, and seeing later the Amiga version was amazing :D

@Jim
hope you can soon enjoy fully finished house. It would be cool to be able to pass by and pay a visit.

Believe it or not I saw Defender of The Crown on an Atari ST the first time (my cousin got it before I bought my 2000).
Very impressive on that platform too, later on I got to enjoy the best version of it though (the ST version was missing the Robin scene, you would meet him but repeated graphics was shown instead, sound was also inferior).
Fond memories...

Jim rocks, always has. Plain and simple.

There can't be many Amiga users who haven't been exposed to his artwork in one way or another.

For anyone else who missed the March 2009 interview;

Wow, what a pleasant surprise!

Hello Jim! I love your work! You are one of a select few on this earth that really could bring out absolute magic in just 320x200 pixels. You should get back to making lowres computer artwork every now and then - you are just too talented not to :)

I wish you the best of luck with building your dream home!

love your Amiga work Jim & thanks for posting your new house info here...I wish you all the best on a successful construction project

Jim Sachs, you are a legend... bring so many memories back... the best years of my life were on the Amiga, playing great games and having great friends.

I wish I could have those days back again!

Defender of The Crown, and it's extraordinary graphics, made me go out and buy an Amiga without delay, and the journey began...

I never saw Defender of the Crow myself. Was this the prequel to Defender of the Crown? Altthough a Crow is alive, I think I'd much prefer Defending a Crown!

Hehehe.

Defender of the crown was the first game i saw on Amiga too. Compared to the cool c64 version i was amazed seeing the color cycling of the water and the fire.
