Maybe a few months ago I got a real hankering for the sounds of KidPix. The theme song is 100% pure lab grade nostalgia for me. Pretty sure I never used the program to its full extent but I loved the funny sound effects. [Editing because I commented before clicking the link. Seems this is some older version. I only used a newer one.]

I don't remember a theme song from the version of my childhood, but I vividly remember the OH NO! of the undo button (which is, delightfully, included in the web version).

The "wow" is burned into my memory. But as I alluded to in my edit, this seems to be an entirely different generation of product I'm remembering vs this post.

I used to use kidpix 4 as a kid and recently went and set up a windows XP VM to try it again. Turns out I pretty much was using it to its full extent by just making a mess and blowing stuff up. It’s pretty much impossible to create anything artistic in the program. The lack of layers, zoom, and only one level of undo make it extremely difficult. I have somewhat good drawing skills but wasn’t able to do anything more than a very crude stick figure. Still had a lot of fun doing that though.

  In a way I appreciate knowing that I didn't miss out on much. I vaguely recall something about animation though? Other than that, I guess that's what I remember too. Just splattering stuff on the screen to hear the funny noises and making nightmare drawings. I'm sure my parents still have some printouts. I recall a bowling ball and pin brush I liked.
