En un ecosistema dominado por nombres como Deluxe Paint, PageStream y Professional Draw, AEGIS Draw ocupó un lugar importante dentro del software creativo temprano para Amiga.

AEGIS Draw, publicado por Aegis Development en 1986, fue uno de esos programas que demostraron que el Amiga podía ir mucho más allá del entretenimiento.
