the Advanced OCP Art Studio was about as close as you could get to "Deluxe Paint" for the C64. There was never (to my knowledge) a TRUE version of Deluxe Paint for the C64. Doodle! was somewhat of a standard, along with Koala-Painter.. with OCP Art Studio high up there in the ranks.

Of course, GeoPaint was a technological marvel back in '86. It was difficult to draw (or import) Multi-color graphics into GeoPaint. But, for Hi-Res.. it was GREAT! - I STILL like it!

Conversions going from the C64 to the PC is a piece of cake. While, going the other way (PC to C64) is kind of touchy... to say the least. 16 color GIF's seem to convert .. not too bad. Hi Res (2-color) pics from Mac or PC convert very well.

The name of the game is... FUN! If you enjoy it... DO IT! :)
