American Jim Sachs is one of the true greats in the area of classic pixel art. He is particularly known for his work on the Amiga, where he was responsible for the graphics in one of the platform’s most important system sellers, Defender of the Crown, as well as Ports of Call, which was a favourite here in Norway. However, his career didn’t end there, and if you were impressed by virtual aquariums around the turn of the millennium, it was probably his fish you were looking at.

Moonstone originally came out in 1991 for the Amiga and PC, and is generally known as a cult classic for these platforms. It’s especially well known on the Amiga, where it’s got a great reputation.
