It was fine for what it was.
Played as a kid.
This game is awesome if you hate yourself and hate art.

To be honest, I used to love the song effects of this game when I was a kid xD
I'm being REALLY generous with my score here because I can't hate this game due to it being one of the first games I ever owned. It do be a very basic drawing program on the mega drive. No mouse support means good luck drawing things easily with 8 directions of movement, there's no way to save a drawing in progress, and there's a very limited selection of color palettes. There were definitely more full-featured art programs than this at the time... But I still had fun messing about with it as a kid (even if I wasn't really sure what it exactly was I was doing) so while I can't really recommend it, I also don't dislike it.
As a child, my parents were pretty strict about the times they let me play video games. Frequently, the only game I was allowed to play was Art Alive, because I guess it wasn't really a game. So I just sat there, looking at the Sonic cartridges resting on the shelf, "playing" Art Alive. I drew mazes with dots in them and used the eraser tool to hover up the dots, emulating Pac-Man. That, my friends, is desperation.
Today, I use the game's box to store my weed. A late, silent rebellion.

I wouldn't say this is a terrible art tool but you are asking for violence when you make your software incompatible with a mouse and don't put in battery saves. mario paint fucking demolishes this
