Oldest GM game you remember ?
« on: April 06, 2010, 09:10:51 PM »
The oldest games I remember playing are "Teachers are Disappearing" and Circuit11's games, which were both published before Y2K and both strictly card-based.

Throughout time, GameMaker games change much...
For example, most newer games are not card-based as the old ones were and use advanced features (such as the keyboard) that didn't exist at all a few years ago.

I am indeed surprised at the promptness of this response.

The files are not timestamped, but I suppose Epicus was made circa 2008 or so.

Circuit11's old games are so old/cool they are probably in the Web Archive by now

The oldest GM game I remember is Dude 2000 I am pretty sure it is not the oldest one I have played. But it is one of the first.

I think the oldest one I've played was the one I made...
Battle to the Princess

Involves no coding and I made it back... Too long ago to remember. I think it was when I was around 8. Maybe in elementary school...

I remember that one.

Sams Life or world or something. I think that was my oldest.

I think Teachers are Disappearing, Greece and Triumviri are probably the oldest games I've played. Oh, GM Fighting is pretty old as well.

I think the first GM game I played was Cube Wars.  It was an adventure-ish game set in an office building, made by Diordna.

Here is a download link :
http://www.mobuli.com/downloads/2TP.sit
It's 7.9 Megabytes. It expands and runs on Mac OS 9.

For the record, it was completed in May 1999.

You might want to carbonize it if you're on a newer Mac...

Note to GMG administration : your archived copy of 2TP.sit isn't the right size and doesn't expand.

[EDIT] Wow ! One of the rare GM games (other than SecretAgentBob's) that includes pre-rendered CGI movies.
Pretty impressive for its time.

[EDIT] It seems the author of 2TP is a movie/TV producer.

Javier Rodriguez made 2 GameMaker games before he got into making movies. His first GameMaker game was Space Can Suck which he made with GameMaker v.98b. He later updated it with v2.8 so it would run on OS 8 and he later gave me permission to convert it to the Carbon GM engine so it would run in OS X. You can download that game here:
http://alstaffieri.com/gamemakergames/Space_Can_Suck_v2_OSX.zip

EDIT: His first movie he made was Hit Man's Handbook. He produced it and had a acting part in it. I think he made it right after he made Space Can Suck. It was released on the web, but back then my computer and internet connection was too slow to view it effectively. I don't know if that short film is still available for download somewhere.

EDIT: Maybe I should update 2nd Terror Protocol to OS X as well. I don't remember if he ever actually finished that game.

EDIT AGAIN: Wow! I forgot about the Emergency Blow games
http://www.mobuli.com/projects.html

You can view the trailer for Hitman's Handbook, but I haven't found a good link to play the whole movie.
http://www.mobuli.com/hhb.html

He was also making the Space Can Suck game into a movie too.

Like SuperAgentBob, who use to make some of the best GM games and now makes Internet movies...
