Deluxe Paint I Big Box PC Electronic Arts 1986 Tandy DeluxePaint Dan Silva Rare

DeluxePaint, created by Dan Silva at Electronic Arts, first appeared on the Amiga in 1985 and quickly became the defining paint program of its era, the tool behind a generation of pixel art and game graphics. This is the IBM PC version, programmed by Jim Blum, with more than 60 features, 11 built in brushes, gradient fills, color cycling and symmetry tools. The box carries its Software Publishers Association honors, Best Graphics Software of the Year and Best Creativity Software of the Year. Complete boxed copies of the original DeluxePaint for IBM and Tandy are genuinely scarce, and at the time of listing only one other copy is offered on eBay.

This is the Tandy distributed edition, Catalog No. 25-1306, sold through Radio Shack for the Tandy 1000 Series and 3000, and compatible with IBM PC, XT, AT and Compaq machines.
