Evidence reviewed 12 Aug 2026About this publisher
Tikkurila, the Finnish paint company, published Painter Boy as a Commodore 64 advertising game in 1986. The release used game distribution as a form of brand promotion and was expected to circulate well beyond its direct sales.
Documented company facts
- Finna's teaching collection, assembled by the Finnish Postal Museum, Media Museum Rupriikki and the Finnish Museum of Games, identifies Painter Boy as an advertising game published by Tikkurila in 1986.
- A contemporary Tikkurila advertising-department letter preserved in the collection says the game was made for the Commodore 64 and explicitly anticipated that copying between hobbyists would broaden its promotional reach.
