I used to draw things in Paint and come up with stories about what was going on, like filling in half the canvas with brown and then making little tunnels with the eraser and pretend it was moles digging out a home or something.
You know, I thought I was the only person who ever did crap like that. I'd pretend it was ants though, I think.
I did this too! For me, it was drawing little spaceship skirmishes and sci fi adventures in Paintbrush (MSPaint for Windows3.1, on my Grandpa's old IBM). I tried to adapt them to silly little games in a widgit-based game engine called Click'nPlay too... still have my first "design documents" full of space ship parts on some yellowed lined paper somewhere. ><;
Oh man, Klik 'n' Play was dope!
We actually had a school assignment to make games using it in High School (around grade 9 or 10, I believe), which in hindsight was pretty awesome. I never finished any of mine, though... the only one I remember was a mildly cool game where you piloted a bomber plane over a very lazily-drawn landscape dropping vaguely bomb-shaped objects on Nazis, haha.
I don't think I ever made a second level or anything, though. A shame.
Sometimes I wish I could get Klik 'n' Play to work on modern computers and play some of these things again. My friend made a rather hilarious sci-fi shoot 'em up/platformer, and I think we both still have the files saved somewhere.
