TypeRaster graphics editor

Dazzle Draw is a raster graphics editor for the Apple IIc and Apple IIe.[2][3][4][5][6] The program allows users to create bitmap images which can then be printed or used in other programs. Developed by David Snider[7] and released in 1984[7][8] by Broderbund,[2] the program is similar to MacPaint,[9] released in early 1984. Snider previously wrote the Apple II pinball game David's Midnight Magic.[1]

Dazzle Draw is designed specifically to take advantage of the graphics capabilities of the Apple IIc and Enhanced IIe.[10] The program allows use of 16 colors and supports the creation of automated slide shows.[10]

Reviews

Dazzle Draw was reviewed on the December 1985 issue of Games magazine.[11] It was praised for being easy to use "whether you choose a graphics tablet (preferred), a mouse controller, or a joystick" and considered to be "in a word, dazzling".[11]
