This is looks like a game maker directly inspired by Mario Paint. That game was more of a mini application suite as it let you select from multiple mini games to draw, paint, animate, make music, etc. It was very unique for its time and a friend and I spent many hours making all sorts of stuff. The joy wore off after a month as you just couldn't save anything. I still have the full setup including the bulky mouse and hard plastic mouse pad.
Though it was very inspiring as I wanted that functionality on a PC. But being a strictly DOS user at the time I had no Idea that computers already had GUI's. I just played DOS games from floppy or hard disk. Around the same time I got Mario Paint my father bought a shiny new white-box 486 that featured this thing called Windows. Of course you had to manually start windows by typing win but I didn't know that. So one day I was trying to figure out what the hell was in C:\WINDOWS, found win.exe and ran it. After the mouse cursor appeared and I saw what it was I was floored. I then found paint. I immediately piked up the phone, called my friend and told him "Dude, I found out my computer has this Windows thing and its exactly like mario paint but you can save stuff!" We spent lord knows how many months playing with paint and learning to install other programs to edit and create.
Finally. I'm glad this exists. Around the same time I distinctly remember fantasizing about and drawing an SNES desktop PC (pizza box, not tower). The idea was it was a DOS/Windows/Nintendo PC that looked like an SNES and had cartridge "drives" in 5.25 bays. I wanted a system where you could play all your NES/SNES and DOS games with Nintendo controllers. Man, I would have loved an SNES themed Keyboard.
Klik n Play was the closest I found in the early 90s. It didn't do smooth scrolling tile sets, but could make some fun single screen games and pseudo moving effects.
