DOS Games Discussion

Several of you amazed me, you seem to know that old draw program Kidpix.

I still have it, original floppy's, bought it long ago for my children, my grandchildren still use and enjoy it plenty on my ol'W3.11 compy.
Now I've tested it on my XP and see, it works flawless.
It also worked fine on my W98SE comp.

I can't find a site that still sells this gem, so here it is for those who wants to give it a go or for ol'times sake.
If you have younger bro's or sisters they gonna love it, really.

Simply unzip in a dir and run setup.

When you use the stamps, try to use ctrl and ctrl+alt with them.

This is version 1.0, not the newer deluxe version 4.

[EDIT]
With the stamps use CTRL and CTRL+SHIFT, not CTRL+ALT.

[EDIT²]
If someone would want the 3 original Kidpix -(old version 1.0)- floppies:

You need 3x 720 KB flops, in the zip are 3 selfextracting floppy images.

Now, I for one, never used it, and I'm more of a Photoshop person

But I'm open to new stuff(ok... OLD stuff) so...

Umm yeah, checked it(and obviously forgot to click Submit 5 minutes ago )

It's fun, and I'm sure my cousin would love it!

Thanks Dosraider!

hah, awesome.

It's a go in XP... BUT

It killed my colour setting. hahaha. My screen is looking like 256 colours right now. lol.


[UPDATE]
When you quit, it returns everything back to normal.

That's weird, had no probs on my XP, I'm on a 19"CRT. Seems your monitor has a problem to switch back. Are you on a TFT screen maybe ?

Maybe you should set the comp tab to W95 and 256 colors.
*EDIT
Nevermind, have read your UPDATE now lolz.

haha, yeah... I'm using a 19" LCD. But yeah, it was no big issue either way. Just wanted to give a heads-up.

ahhhhhh, i forgot about that prog, i havent seen it since primary school

I have no problems on my 17" CRT and XP SP2

*Update.
Whilst I'm busy backing up all my ol'flops on CD:

You need a floppydrive to use those.
*Points at Wally , laughs*

While you are at it, Do you have creative writer?

Yep, Creative Writer (1) and Fine Artist (1) must be somewhere around....
And guess what, it's for Mac.
No kidding.


Probably the French versions, as my Mac was French.
[EDIT]
Was 7.x or 9.x .. don't know if it runs on MacX.

[EDIT²]
Now that I think' bout it, must have Kidpix for Mac also .... somewhere....
And a whole bucket of ol'Mac applics and games too.

I HAS emulators !

Ahem I has no need for emulators to run Kidpix

Creative Writer! Now that was an amazing program... I spent many hours playing with it. Ended up doing a fair bit of writing, too, but I've never seen anything else that made writing so much fun. Definitely not Creative Writer 2.

ah i have emulators to run Creative Writer in OSX. (Im using a MacBook.

SheepShaver FTW!

If anyone has the kidpix.zip file can you please send it to me? or tell me where I can get it?

You can get it@
KIDPIX_FULL.ISO - 1.95MB

*Would you prefer the floppy version let me know.

Dosraider, do you still have the files for this? I've got a few nieces that would love to play it some time lol.

Sure, here ya go:
KIDPIX_FULL.ISO - 1.95MB

Score! Thanks! They loved it lol.

OMG Kid pix is awesome!! It so reminds me of Mario Paint and Nickolodean Directors lab CD rom... good times. My little cousin Sanjana will love this. Although she's gonna be 14 now so not so little now lol. Thanks for the link!
