Art Alive

Review

Use drawing tools and pre-made graphics to create and color original digital artwork.

Art Alive was released for the Sega Genesis in 1991 by Sega of America. It was an original title for the platform, not a port of an earlier game.

About Art Alive

Art Alive is a creative tool for the Sega Genesis centered on digital drawing. Its functionality is built around a set of standard artistic implements, including tools for freehand sketching, erasing, and drawing precise shapes.

The software provides a library of over fifty pre-made graphics and animated elements that users can incorporate into their compositions. Additionally, complete background scenes are available to serve as canvases, which can be filled using the paint bucket tool.
