These pictures were created with Paintbrush for Windows 3.0 on a 286 with a 640x480 VGA monitor, using that same pesky 16 color default pallet from the older PC Paint era.

These pictures were created with PC Paint for MS-DOS on an 8086 with a 640x200 EGA monitor, using the default 16 color pallet (the only pallet). Most of the pictures have been scaled to a nicer aspect ratio of 640x480, but a few looked much better at their original size, even though they were "squished".
