Kid Pix (Macintosh v1.2) Gameplay

[@bufogeist]

This video unlocked some deep memories I didn't even know I had

[@TreAnthonyX]

bufo geist YESSSSSS!!!

[@articusramos808]

I remember being in a computer lab in 1st grade making a picture of Arthur Reed as a class activity. I love the dynamite eraser and the count down

[@jaayyy000]

Omg the soundsssss thats what made kid pix the best

[@ScaryMaryyy]

This takes me back to early elementary school. In my school's dusty computer lab. Back when life was simple.

[@JuanMendoza-qd5lm]

You could say that again man...

[@YeahToastGOD]

Back when I went to winthrop this was the SHIT MAN, I kinda wanna buy this ngl

[@Tatothe_staticpotato]

Wdym "when life was simple"

[@woestho]

I would click the hell out of the wooooow thing, god those big tv Mac n tosh computers were the goats

[@marquavious24ify]

life was so simple and everything made since before the 2000 era

[@MollyM2]

oh god hearing THIS I can feel the dirty shitty foam over-ear headphones everyone shared in my elementary school computer lab

[@MrEightThreeOne]

Haha, goodness, I forgot about those. Or sometimes you had those big oversized ones that clamped so hard on you and had zero cushioning

[@Drbeckerproductions]

We didn't even have headphones, you could hear ALL the kidpix noises across all 20+ computers. I think they were all those "performa" color pc's with built in speakers.

[@x3r0h0ur]

The brown ones?

[@LewisZwarteLeeuwUS]

@@x3r0h0ur Yes. The dreaded brown ones. Mine were green/black when I was in grade school.

[@gloriana13]

Yeah. Those were fucking awful. Then again, we could either use them or have the computer on mute since my second special education class was next to the 6th grade classrooms and we had to be quiet as class was in session. Not to mention, my teacher thought 5 minutes on the school computer was needed and no more than that 🙄

[@LillybethLilyLeah]

90's kid here...oh the wonderful memories from elementary school you brought back here😎

[@yourfavoriteyeehaw4490]

wait- i broke the system, im a early 2000s kid... but i used this as a kid, ahhhhhhhhhh

[@dream_emulator]

Easily the best program ever crafted by man.

[@thecoldcallerguy]

This takes me back to the early 90’s when I was in elementary. I was in 1st grade and we got introduced to this new thing called a computer lab. Every Friday we got to have free time on our assigned computer and do whatever whatever we wanted. I was on Kidpix every time.

[@argonianbum]

This made my heart flutter. Every sound and tool brought me back to that computer room.

[@Opqosite]

"Oh no!"

[@DTF_official]

John Kalama 😂😂😂😂😂 Literally came here for that.

[@BlueyMcPhluey]

oh no!

[@LewisZwarteLeeuwUS]

@@DTF_official Ditto. I annoyed the crud out of my teacher clicking the "undo" button. She threatened to send me to the office if I didn't stop 🤣🤣🤣

[@AeroRanger100]

They went as far as to get a random barber shop quartet together just to sing the number 3. Now that's dedication. My childhood thanks you.

[@jackielearnsandteaches]

Thank you for making this, and for not talking over it. It was very nostalgic, and reminded me of my childhood. Actually, there was a moment, when you used the paint bucket, to fill in purple, that I suddenly realized that this game defined purple as my favorite color. This is where my favorite color came from, which I’ve carried all my life. Thank you for helping me to realize this.

[@yourmomshouse6984]

That was deep

[@ultimumpower]

This video reminds me of an empty classroom smell before going out for summer as well as the that semi empty classroom smell during summer school as well as that caprisun and lunchables during fieldtrips.

[@mesquitegirl2013]

I remember seeing this in the computer lab in elementary school

[@myaharriman5699]

It took me years to find this, just to hear the sound of the letter T

[@soulhoodt5613]

Yoooooo ! Me too!

[@carminaburanafan]

OMG same!!! I used to click on T over and over again!! The sound of T is such a riot!

[@Drbeckerproductions]

I came to find the OH NO sound

[@liamwatson5125]

@@carminaburanafan I couldn’t wait to hear the T every time I clicked through the letters in the toolbar. It was my favourite!

[@Doomxeen]

I was obsessed with the dynamite haha!

[@Mikehawk323]

Same here man

[@Myworld1916]

So was I. Even to just use it close to the screen just to see half of the circles, haha!

[@LanaVegana]

I especially loved the error sounds as a kid. I would draw small things, just to have them oopsed or ohnoed away LOL

[@TheLucyBess]

If only adult life had that button

[@LanaVegana]

Tulip Yellow since it’s not there, I now just shout OOPS! or OH NO! myself

[@jackielearnsandteaches]

Me too ^_^

[@niphrim]

I'm four minutes in waiting for the "oops"

[@mackit]

The OH NO sound was my favorite! That and the drumroll with the random squares tool

[@NeonArsonist]

P.o.v It’s sometime between the 2000s and the mid to early 2010s, you go to the computer lab at elementary school and your teacher tells you it’s free time. You go onto the clunky old computers and click the icon for kid pix, you then put on the crappy somehow stiff foam headphones because the kid pix theme is really loud. You hear the kid pix theme play “1 2 3 4 (uno uno uno uno) kid pix, kid pix! Come on and play with kid pix!” The graphics and music in that intro scared you, but you still somewhat liked it. You then sit back in your computer lab chair and smile happily before creating a really weird piece of art that the teacher told you they loved once you showed them.

[@BurnMyShadow]

Very comprehensive demo! I was looking for the dynamite and found it at 8:49. Thanks for the great video.

[@yourmomshouse6984]

OOPS!

[@OzmaBara88]

I remember my teachers in grade school setting ground rules regarding any of us students playing Kid Pix on the computer: We could not draw pictures that had the toilet stamp or the couple kissing. We were not allowed to use the TNT eraser (earlier that school year, a bomb was found near the playground so we were not allowed to talk about explosives of any kind or draw pictures of them) Oh and here's a dated rule from the era: Because Hanson and Spice Girls were all the hype back then, a few kids drew pictures making fun of The Spice Girls and Hansen. This prompted a No Pictures of Spice Girls or Hanson rule If any of us broke these rules, Kid Pix became off limits on the computer for a while (which is just as well considering the school computers also had Oregon Trail which most of us played instead)

[@BloodSweatandFears]

My teacher used to think the bomb was too much too 😂 she also took all my Pokémon cards!!

[@Sanzaru123]

who else has had "OH NO" permanently burned into their cerebrum since they were a child

[@franklinwoodard8370]

Im 31 years old and that "Oh No" sound has randomly played in my head from time to time for as long as I can remember and it wasn't until watching this video that I finally remember what it was from

[@Jimboi25]

And oops

[@USMarshmallow]

I was 3 years old when I played this...Holy Hera. It's been so long since I've heard all those sound effects. This was such an incredibly fun doodling program. I miss playing it, three decades later.

[@mr.x8880]

My ridiculously strict first grade teacher made a rule for us not to use the bomb eraser (which you used at 8:50) and would have a big fit anytime a student used it lmfao.

[@gweagraff]

This brings back so many memories. I remember playing with this program 30 years ago and seeing everything on here and hearing all the sounds completely took me back to that time.

[@stephanieprpa630]

That part really hit home. Thanks for the time stamp.

[@noahbaker808]

This unlocked the 90’s vault in my head that stores away my childhood

[@brandonbarber2204]

I used to always piss off my 3rd grade computer teacher by opening up kid pix instead of my assignment. I would created my own little secret projects and save them.

[@Thefabregas22]

Ah man, takes me back to when I used to play this at my grandma's. I'd forgotten about this till now.

[@liv3450]

I played this at my grandmas also lol such good times.

[@Myself-yf5do]

The version I remember had alien stamps. I also remember a stamp of the Ten Commandments because I got in trouble for using that one in school because the teacher thought it was tombstones.

[@spark4039]

This takes me back to grade 4 in 1996 😅

[@Tomsonic41]

We had this for PC on a CD that came with our Sound Blaster card. Hours of fun back in the early 90s!

[@liamwatson5125]

10:48 The whispery S, and then the shouty T. Very good contrast!

[@beez1717]

Man this is still the best drawing program that isn't professional. Why did they have to go and make it so much worse later on?

[@andreapatane4204]

I played this artistic game back in elementary school back when it had a computer lab since I was a School-Age student. It's quite a disappointment that my classmates AKA friends, my teachers, etc. weren't able to see my poem that I wrote in the 4th Grade which is called, "What The Light (Mask) Sees" by Andrea Patane on Kid Pix Studio, because I didn't bother to create it back then. They would love to see it in the Slideshow column which consisted of a moving van, of course.

[@sukiBambina]

I’m watching my son play with his Amazon tablet and it got me thinking how far we’ve come along and how much of my childhood I spent playing this!!

[@Milky_Flan]

I think this is why I am a fashion and graphic designer now.

[@Ennnne]

I randomly heard this name after so long, I remember playing around with this in my elementary school art class whenever I had the time and BOY was it the most enjoyable thing I did back then geez

[@garcinan000]

❤❤❤ I adore this video! Brings me wonderful memories! Thank you and greetings from Seattle WA

[@RudolfWolph]

Aha, your tweets got Kid Pix on my mind and I came looking for Kid Pix on youtube without realizing this video was yours until well after I clicked it x3 This is pretty much what EVERY kid wound up doing when we got time in the computer lab in elementary school. RAINBOWS EVERYWHERE.

[@MrEightThreeOne]

Haha, how funny. Maybe now I'll open for commissions, heh. And yeah, this is really just about what everyone drew with this game. Though I also recall several people in my class would literally just play with the erase commands the whole time, not even drawing anything.

[@RudolfWolph]

@@MrEightThreeOne Oh no!

[@Myself-yf5do]

Not only do I remember this game from school, I remember some other games, like one about a kangaroo and some other creature who tried to build their own rocket ships before the other one. There was also one where the kangaroo spoke with a Stephen Hawking like voice when counting money.

[@Robzeke]

I remember always sitting next to my best bud in the computer lab and we'd always play the same sounds to each other and laugh.

[@thenextrung]

I loved the sound 3 made!

[@intergalacticpoptart9607]

Still to this day, whenever I'm counting in my head, the number three sounds like that!

[@ShyGuy83]

I had this program back in the day. Unfortunately, because of the computer I had at the time, I was limited to black, white, and gray.

[@imblake0346]

Imagine if they put those sound effects on photoshop and procreate brushes

[@FSAPOJake]

This was the first ever computer software I ever used, on Macintosh Color Classic or Performa computers my dad would bring home from his job every weekend back in 1996-1997. I was barely 2 years old when I first got it down by myself.

[@BOGObiology]

OMG, just realized that button 6th from the top is an egg beater. As a kid I totally thought it was a sink!!! 😂

[@bella872]

It's very amazing to me how my brain can remember these sounds from so many years ago!

[@megabubbles9478]

I remember back in 1998 I loved drawing and stamping Halloween decorations!

[@DakariKingMykan]

I had so much fun with the erasers

[@slowdotmotion]

Thank you for this. I spent so many hours on this program as a kid.

[@MadameSomnambule]

Man, haven't changed a bit up until the early 2000s. The interface in Kid Pix Studio Deluxe is pretty much identical with the same sounds and everything, just with some additional modes and features and maybe some quality of life updates under the hood. Guess back then, Broderbund figured "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". They found a formula for the game that worked pretty damn well.

[@GoldenScout-original]

wtf some numbers gave me some star fall memories 😭

[@NNoitraa]

i remember that "OH NO!" 🤣

[@Ryusuta]

Old programs like this are what the term "IYKYK" is made for. Childhood memories, man. Amazing.

[@IvyANguyen]

Wowie. I wonder if this is the version my old schools had. The sound effects sound the same. Cool that you posted a video of a tour of possibly many people's 1st digital art app.

[@Tar0tt]

00s kid here, had this downloaded on my sisters old desktop. Man the nostalgia. Kid Pix was the shit.

[@samuelbanya]

14:14 wow I remember that feature too, probably why I am obsessed with black and white ink drawings that slowly reveal themselves

[@2001bsy]

とても懐かしい。子供の時に遊びました

[@savlife222]

Computer lab!!! I remembering editing the stamps in detail

[@samuelbanya]

I remember the art teacher during second grade had a Macintosh Performa with Kid Pix on it. What a blast. Absolutely killer features if you think about it in terms of it being fun, exciting, and inspiring. They don't make software like this anymore.

[@GR8FLMD3AD]

Wow, so much nostalgia!

I used to always click the "uh-oh" button for fun 😂😂

This takes me back to 4th and 6th grades when I was in elementary school at Fort Sam Houston Elementary School in Fort Sam Houston, Texas in 1996-1997 and 1998-1999 when I discovered Kid Pix SD. Years later, I still know those music, voices, and sound effects.

Good thing you weren't around me. In the computer lab at school I used to click on T over and over again because it was such as hoot and a half

[@marsetc4806]

me and my friends used to make stamps of like, little dudes that we would then set up armies with on opposite sides of the canvas, then we would take turns shooting fireball stamps at eachother... idk we were like 8 so it really was just us using the program as a toy with no real rules

[@pdeXlol]

I remember on a couple computers in my school's computer lab, someone went through and edited the stamps so it looked like they were all covered in blood, notably the man in the brown suit and the woman in the blue dress. I remember blood dripping off the airplane too. I was kinda creeped out lol
