Of course, the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Deluxe_Paint\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Deluxe Paint<\/a><\/em> series, which was first released in late 1985 and had its final release a decade later, appeared on more than just the Amiga, and included Atari ST, Apple IIGS, and, most famously (after the Amiga), MS-DOS, with <em>Deluxe Paint II Enhanced 2.0<\/em>, which was used quite a bit for pixel art (sprites in particular) in PC games. Now, Steffest has created a feature-rich and free open source web-based image editor, <strong>DPAINT.JS<\/strong>, modeled after the best of the <em>Deluxe Paint<\/em> series.
