It's hard to convey the impact Deluxe Paint (affectionately called DPaint) had on a generation of computer users and, indeed, the whole computer game biz. If you played a game on any platform during the 16-bit era, chances are the graphics were drawn in one of the many incarnations of the program. It was in fact so popular that certain artists in the British games industry allegedly held on to their beloved copies (and Amigas) well into the latter half of the 1990s, well past Commodore's demise, and used it when creating graphics for early PlayStation One titles.
One of the first artists to ever use this software was, without a shadow of a doubt, Harrison.
