When I was a kid I had his "Game Maker" game and it still seems like an ambitious application:

...it had it's own programming environment, sprite and background maker, and music composition tool.



I never used that one but I worked with stuff like SEUCK and to think back at it now it was pretty awesome you really could do all of this stuff with some graphical editors and get something that was a bit simple in terms of gameplay but would look and sound pretty decent. Lost countless hours inside that program....


Oh man, I used to drool over that ad in the computing magazines! Sadly, my parents had bought an IBM PCjr with no hope of ever running such an ambitious piece of software.


I had it also. I never really made a game with it but just to try making something was great.
