Have any of you used old drawing programs?

Have any of you used old drawing programs for an authentic oldschool game feel. I found a demo cd from 1992 with a really nice one I might use. If you have used one whats the name, and what do you like about it/features of it.

I had PC Paintbrush circa 1993, but the 3.5" floppies i have went bad and i can no longer load the program on my computer.

Now, i'm using NeoPaint, but i really liked PC Paintbrush.

PaintBrush! I remember that, back in the days of 16-color displays and 640x480 resolution. A classic. I once used a DOS painting program, I can't remember the name. DPaint mayhaps?

[DGMacphee]

NeoPaint was a great proggy. And free too.

DPaint is another good one.

And the Autodesk Animator also has some useful tool for a DOS proggy.

PaintBrush was like the most used program on our OLD computer back then early 90's.... My laptop has pbursh.exe, but running it opens Paint...

We had a program called DrHalo on our first PC. This was around 90-91.
It was awesome.

I used to use a program called Grafx.  I'm not sure if it's old though.  I also used to play around with the Paint that came with the Win 3.1 on my old 486.

PaintBrush was probably the earliest graphics app I used.  I didn't really use my computer for graphics much back then, but I remember when they switched the name of the program to Paint (in what, Win95 I think?) I felt kind of sad for some reason.

Well I can't remember well but two of my first used graphics apps were Take One and a paint programme written in Applesoft basic (by myself) on Apple ][.

Ahh, good old Deluxe Paint was my poison. I used to have SO much fun with the snowflake/mirror feature. *sigh* Now I'm gonna go and cry about how I don't have an Amiga anymore.

I remember Dr. Halo.. but back then I was only 7 or 8 so I didn't get a lot of use from it. I remember drawing simple things like happy faces and my dad would print it out and hang it on the fridge, haha.

I'd say Mario Paint was one of my first paint progs!! I didn't get a PC until about 1995 if I can remember. I loved that "game".

[SSH]

MacPaint on a 128k Mac back in the mid-eighties somewhen. My Dad printed out my pics and hung them somewhere, too.

Heh, thats cute. I remember drawing big elaborate drawings which used every color on the pallet, and then I would print them out. They would come out just SOGGY with ink and then I would wait for 5 min, blowing on it until it dried and ran upstairs to put it on the fridge. (and about every drawing I did took a major hit from the ink cartrage.) And then my dad would try and print a document and yell, "Where the $*#@ did all the ink go!!!". So then I just saved my work on the comp from then on.

Ahh, good old Deluxe Paint was my poison.

Yay, I remember that (about Deluxe Paint 5, I think). I used to be so amazed by the fact that I could actually produce animations, right there on my computer. I remember making little aminated credits for crappy 'films' me and my mates made with someone's video camera.

Kinoko, have you tried UAE?

It's probably the best Amiga emulator out there.

Deluxe Paint 2 on the PC.. I also tried Deluxe Paint 4 (Using WinUAE), but using an emmulator to do graphics just seems too complicated.

KIDPIX!!!! on my old mac, hell that was great. "ouch" "ohh no!" "ouch" , i loved that undo button. ohhhhh and dot forget the dynamite tool, cleared the whole screen it did. 

[Sluggo]

I use DPaint too, and I'm (sort of) still making a game in the old school style (if anyone actually remembers it). You could go to my website to check it out, but I only posted one screen shot. I haven't worked on it in a while, but I haven't cancelled it.

Oh my gosh... I completely forgot about that program. I used to repeatedly press the 'undo' button and the kids who sat around my computer would tell me to be quiet. And I adored the stamp collections and the eraser tools; hell, I enjoyed everything about that program.

You've brought a little bit of my childhood back to me. For that, I thank you.
