Frame from a classic Amiga animation called "The Juggler". A figure, resembling a stick figure, stands on an infinite green and yellow chessboard under a blue sky. The figure is constructed from variously colored spheres for arms, legs, torso, head, and eyes. It juggles three glass spheres. The elements reflect and refract light and receive shadows, with a degree of realism and color depth uncommon when the animation was created.

This is a ray-traced rendering of five billiard balls on a green felt table, a moment captured in time just after shooting the cue ball. From above, we see a roughly horizontal row of balls near the top of the image frame. They are a yellow one-ball, a striped yellow nine-ball, a black eight-ball, and a purple four-ball. Below them is the cue ball. In this frozen moment in time, the cue ball has just struck the nine ball into the eight ball, which is now hitting the four ball. In the next moment, the nine-ball will hit the one-ball. The polished balls are blurred by their fast movement. Reflected in the balls are windows, a player silhouette, and neon bar signs.

An Apple II hi-res drawing of a bearded man at a bar holding a drink from the point of view of the bartender. Behind the man is an arcade cabinet for a game called ZAPPO! and a jukebox. On the left are the letters A and B in the Apple II font, and above, the letters are enlarged to show individual pixels. The command line reads "]HGR" to set the hi-res graphics mode, and "]BLOAD FIRST,A$2000" to load the image file into display RAM.

An illustration by Alexey Gorboot produced for the video "Ultima Underworld Retrospective | Forging a New Era" by Majuular. The art could be described as modern expressionism, with an exaggerated saturation evoking 1970s black-light posters. The Avatar is in a dungeon, sword and torch in hand, drenched in red, blue, and gold coloration. The halls of the dungeon are purple in the shadows and orange in the torchlight. In a room on the right, two alerted undead skeletons lurk. In the foreground, around a corner on the left, a blue orc with red eyes, a spiked club, and a clenched fist lies in wait. An ornate placard above him reads "Ultima Underworld Retrospective".
