GAME MAKER
==========
version 1.4

written by Mark Overmars

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 just
using some 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.

GAME MAKER comes with a collection of freeware
images and sounds to get you started. Also there
are a number of example games, in particular
Pacman, Breakout and a Peg game. These
are mainly provided as examples and not as
full-blown games.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------
A modern PC (preferably a Pentium) running Windows'95,
'98, 2000 or NT 4 is required. After installation the
program uses about 2MB disk space. The program
requires at least 65000 colors (high color, 16-bit). It
requires at least 800x600 screen resolution.

INSTALLING THE PROGRAM
----------------------
If you have a previous version of Game Maker installed,
better first uninstall it. (Games you made or changed will
