Ever since Adventure Construction Set on my Apple ][+, I have found "game maker" programs to often be a nice creative outlet and a good bit of fun. Most are very cookie-cutter, so no one (well, ALMOST no one) is going to make bank off of games made with most game creators. They're usually just for fun and for gaming with friends.
To that, I've started tinkering with different game makers, and writing reviews. This is the first review of hopefully many to come. Enjoy!
