- Have any of you ever used GAME MAKER from Recreational Software
- Designs? It is supposedly software to aid in creating arcade games
- and adventure games, sort of a video game construction kit.
-
- It seems like it might be useful for amateurs like myself who are
- interested in game design. According to the ad opposite page 54 in the
- November 92 issue of Computer Gaming World,
-
- "GAME.MAKER requires an IBM AT compatible 286, 386, or 486 with a color
- VGA monitor and mouse. Joystick optional."
-
- The ad also offers the following information.
-
- "A technological breakthrough by Recreational Software Desings lets you
- do the impossible. Now you can create 256 color VGA computer games
- without programming.
-
- +Design unlimited number of animated monsters and good guys
- +Animated characters walk, run, fly, hop, pop from scene to scene
- +Design your own sounds
- +Make arcade and adventure games as unique as your imagination
- +Modify and enhance GAME.MAKER games"
-
- So, has anyone tried this product? If so could you comment on its
- good and bad points.
-
- thanks,
