My brothers and I spent untold hours on this title growing up - it allows you to create simple arcade style games and includes sprite, background, sound and music editors.

This is my youth! I made many games with the C64 Game Maker! A compilation of them is on RUclips to watch! Game Maker rules!

*This is better than Unity*

[@sammymarlo]

Of course! 🙂

So you’re telling me they have Pitfall in here? It looks better than the official C64 release of Pitfall

[@sammymarlo]

Yes, Pitfall is an included game, and it does look better than the official release.

[@charlesfatt]

I used to modify the pitfall on here and added my own sprites, it was fun

[@sammymarlo]

@@charlesfatt I recall spending hours modifying the included Chopper game!

I recall being so excited to get this. My dad would check the local computer store each day after work to see if they had it yet. (Thank you, dad! It must have been annoying persistent I was.)
Then I finally got it and ended up a bit disappointed because you were limited to what could be loaded into memory in one shot, no swapping things to disk.

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

you couldn't make standalone games like you could with SEUK? :C

[@mld1322]

Cool

[@WinstonSmith.74]

oh man you're crap at Pitfall !....

probably wouldn't do much better myself after all these years of playing easier games since the Megadrive onward.

I'm a little rusty too! ;-)

[@WinstonSmith.74]

@@sammymarlo hehe.
btw - did you ever make any games using this software ?

[@sammymarlo]

@@WinstonSmith.74 I started making many, many games with this back in the day growing up. I only actually completed one.
