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,
-stacy
