Paint with Bob Ross - video game

April 8, 2006 | Video Games

Bob Ross isn’t very big in England. In fact I only heard about him recently from a (Swedish of all things) friend of mine.

From wikipedia:

[Bob Ross] was the host of The Joy of Painting, perhaps the most recognized, most watched art program in the history of U.S. television.

The thing that interests me though is that recently it was announced that there would be some Bob Ross video games coming to the PC and new Nintendo consoles. The unique interface of the Nintendo Revolution and Nintendo DS would be ideally suited to a painting based video game I’d be very interested to see how they turn this into something fun.

    Ben, finally you got a good post in here. Not sure about the “Swedish of all things comment” though, but I’ll let it slip, this time. Hope this comment slips through your very thorough censorship regime.

    Who says Bob Ross is not very well known in England.
    You try booking up for a Bob Ross clas in your area and you will soon find out what a following he has got.

    Jim - Well I studied gcse and A-Level art and until my Swedish friend above started talking about him I had never heard of Bob Ross. I’m not saying nobody has heard of him, just that he doesn’t have the fame in the UK that he has in elsewhere.
