Writing computer games normally is a lot of work and requires skill in programming so wouldn't it be nice if you could make your own games in an easy way? Game Maker was written to do just that, it allows you to make games like Pacman by simply clicking and drag-and-drop with your mouse. It is suited for grown-ups and children from age 9 upwards (with a little help from a parent). But even though it is simple to use, Game Maker allows you to make appealing games, with animated graphics, backgrounds, sounds, etc. And if you really want to make complicated games, there is a built-in programming language that gives you full flexibility. Game Maker comes with a collection of freeware images and sounds to get you started. For a look at what is possible with Game Maker see the Games Page. Works with all versions of Windows.
Game Maker is free! After you have used it for a while, if you really want to get into game making, there is a shareware version with important extra features.
