Amiga Workbench v1.2 Startup/Boot Screen Wallpaper

The “Insert the Workbench 1.2 Disk” boot up screen from the Commodore Amiga.

Like Kickstart, the initial versions of Workbench were a mess, with an extremely short development times and pushed-out-the-door on marketing’s schedule.  To their credit, however, Commodore was able to get out Workbench v1.2, and the Amiga became a much more stable machine.  You really only needed to keep copies of v1.0 or 1.1 around for the handful of the early Electronic Arts games for the Amiga that refused to work under v1.2+.  Unfortunately, those generally included updated versions of EA’s hit 8-bit games, such as Archon, Seven Cities of Gold, etc.

The downloadable ZIP file contains the famous “Hand with the Workbench Disk” screenshots in the original 320×480 format, as well as:  480×800 & 640×960 (great for phones), 1024×768 & 1280×800 (for iPads and tablets), 1440×900, 1600×1200, 720P and 1080P.
