   From September 1995, this is probably the oldest completely digital graphic of any sort I still have kicking around in some form. I built a really lame RPG and clearly put more effort into the art, since it was both boring and buggy.

   Bonus type cred: while the chunky font on the bottom was DOS system text, the thinner type above was a hand-drawn pixel font.

   I'd say that man looks more than bored, he looks like his brain is scrambled. Not sure I'd buy a shield from him.

   I'm actually curious, Dave, after seeing this... we're you a child of Sierra as I was?

   I was indeed. Sierra, LucasArts, and Nintendo were my big three.

   Honestly Dave, I'm blown away. If this is the oldest / worst digital art that you have on your computer I'm giving up now. Kidding. Sort of.

   Looks like you were awesome since day 1.

   Thanks Brian. I'm trying to think of older examples to give you something to feel better about, but I'm pretty sure this game came within just a few months of deciding to start using a computer for something other than playing video games. To be fair, I was already pretty good with a paper and pencil by that point.

   (Starting to think it might be fun to put together a gallery of older work that I don't completely hate by now; I'm digging up some gems here...)

   Agreed with Jesse. Looks like a lobotomy victim. On another note, I'd wear armor furthest to the right any day. It looks wickedly awesome.

   @Jesse first thing I thought as well. Sierra rules! King quest, heros quest, police quest, space quest, Larry... I had them all.

   It really makes me miss those good ol' DOS games.
