RSD Game-Maker



In 1993 or 1994, I found an ad for Game-Maker by Recreational Software Designs in the back of some video game magazine. There wasn't much information, and it was $50 (a formidable price for me in my lawn mowing days), but I decided it was worth taking the chance. I was hoping to find something equivalent to Gary Kitchen's GameMaker.

I had fun with this program, but I quickly became frustrated with its limitations. I probably would have been more motivated to keep at it had the BBS number included with the program worked. It would have been fun to use my 2400 baud modem to trade creations with others.

I never completed a game using RSD Game-Maker, but here are screenshots from a few that I started:















































I scanned the box in case you want to see what it looked like.

I've found two other people on the Internet who mention their work with RSD Game-Maker: Aderack and Mazeguy.
