IE MANY FACES
Just Picture This And now for something completely different. Mario Paint, Nintendo's newest Super NES release, is a departure from the action, adven¬ ture and sports games you might expect. It's an inno¬ vative graphics program that lets you design scenes, compose music, create animation, and even combine all three. It's assimple or complex as you want to make it, so it's tons of fun for all ages and skill levels.
