This is fantastic stuff, Bill. I wish I still had some of my old art and mod files! It's easy to get so carried away talking about games for these old systems that we totally forget the awesome productivity stuff. Dpaint IV for the Amiga was a highpoint for me, as was Sonix and Deluxe Music Construction Set, Octamed, etc.
It looks like you were playing around with GEOS. I didn't get much exposure to that, though I thought it was quite cool. Too bad it didn't come out about 5 years earlier; then it really would have been revolutionary.
I am still impressed with some of the old artists like Sachs. I remember seeing an image Sachs had been working on for a planned time travel game that never made production. Just seeing the image made me want to play the game!
