Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
If you want to make your own games, this is the program to try first. Game Maker installs quickly and launches automatically, starting up by generating a new project. A basic project includes sprites, sounds, background, paths, scripts, data files, time lines, objects, and room features, as well as game information and options, all of which you can configure freely. In particular, the application offers a good deal of control over sprites, which can be scaled, rotated, made partially transparent, and blended with a color. Each feature offers samples to show you how to create your masterpiece. All you need is imagination and the freeware's help file. You might not be able to create something, such as Doom or Heroes of Might and Magic, but mah-jongg and golf are doable. Though writing a game might seem intimidating, Game Maker brings it within reach.Publisher's Description
From Mark Overmar:
Game Maker allows you to make exciting computer games without the need to write a single line of code. Using easy-to-learn, drag-and-drop actions, you can make professional-looking games in no time. Games can have backgrounds, animated graphics, music, and sound effects, and once you get more experienced there's a built-in programming language that gives you full flexibility. What's best, Game Maker can be used completely free of charge, and you can use the games you produce any way you like. You even can sell them.

"Wow, this is amazing!"
Version: Game Maker 8.0
Pros
Make advanced games with drag-and-drop! How good your game is depends on how much time you put into it, NOT your skill level!
The lite version is free, and you only need pro if your are a semi-serious programmer.
Giant community at yoyogames.com.Cons
Lite version [this download] is some-what limited when compared to the pro version, but lite is still MORE then enough to make games for fun.
