I've been looking all over for it, but no luck so far...

I used to have it on my old iMac G3 a long time ago, but limited disk space and no CD burner at the time forced me to delete it...  :-[

I asked Al about it (he has a copy), and maybe it'll be available again soon, but getting it hosted somewhere might be difficult...

Here's a link to archives of some of his other games:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.secretagentbob.com/downloads/files/*
It's not complete (Anaphobia isn't there) and some of the files are unavailable even if listed; try multiple dates. Also, avoid downloading "The Box", which may be infected with Sevendust.

The Alpha Code is a particularly good one out of the ones available.

Is that a type of Malware?

It was a virus that caused trouble on pre-OS X Macs. OS X should be unaffected, but make sure to use an antivirus program like Agax on the game before letting it open in Classic. (Most of the SecretAgentBob games are not OS X native.)

The file is Anaphobian Planet, the "Largest GM game file ever".

On the link from Al's Game Downloads page, the link goes to a page with a list of files, but if you attempt to download one, a 404 page appears mentioning that he removed them from his servers...

EDIT:Fixed some inaccurate info above...

It's 130Mb compressed, so I don't think I can upload it anywhere. StuffIt has the ability to create several parts, so I may try that.

I found a description on an archive of an old page from his site:

Yeah, you read that file size right. One hundred and thirty-two megabytes. This is the LONGEST and LARGEST GameMaker game ever made. I spent a LOOONG time on this, and actually sold it on CD (to which a few people actually bought). This was supposedly the introduction to professional GameMaker games, although at the time I wasn't really up-to-par with scripting or graphics design, so this game was kind of a flop. BUT, now for the first time ever (thanks to recent server upgrades) you have a chance to play this infamous game IN IT'S ENTIRETY! I'm sure a few of you have always wondered what the heck this game was like. Well, here ya go!

its a massive game with 10 levels of gameplay rendered in 3d. i thought the gameplay was kinda boring (gm was very limited at the time) and 3d graphics kind of plain and basic, like a bunch of empty rooms with wierd flashy textures, if your lucky you would see a table or some random object. i didnt play through the whole thing though so i could be wrong.

if your looking for old games i highly recomend chronicle of ekan, it was made in hypercard or something but it doesnt do anything that cant be done in gm or sc, that game is unbeleivable. i was so inspired by it i drew my interpretation of some of the characters

I heard GM fighting was one of the best games in its day. Can anyone upload a copy of that?

Also, who made it?
