Game Maker is a Windows computer program which allows users to easily develop computer games. Beginning programmers can create sophisticated games prior computer programming experience, and advanced users can create complex applications with its built-in scripting language.

The Game Maker program exists in both a free version and a registered version. The free version does not have any restrictions, it simply has less features than the registered version (no 3D games, for example, or no network gaming...). Game Maker is distributed by Yoyo Games:

Game Maker was originally developed by Mark Overmars, a dutch university professor, as a teaching aid for use by his students in his game programming course. Game Maker was originally written in Delphi, which is an object oriented version of Pascal, and the Pascal programming language itself was developed in order to encourage good programming practices. So I guess that makes Game Maker an excellent tool...

Game Maker is a very good at creating games similar to the old arcade games. Platform games like Mario, labyrinths like Pac Man, Shumps like Xevious and so on... These pages will show you how I use Game Maker to recreate Xevious (my pet project), and how to create similar games using (my tutorials). The graphics can be found on the [maps] and [graphics] pages.
