A-J Games Presents

A prolific Maine-based outfit that collaborated with several other Game-Maker authors and contributed to Recreational Software Designs' release of the Game-Maker 3.0 CD-ROM. The studio name comes from the developer's first game, A-J's Quest -- which was in turn based on a comic strip eponymously named after its protagonist, Andrew-Jonathan.

In 2011, A-J Games was folded into the publisher Jeneric Rules as a legacy label and officially retired from ongoing use.

Distribution

Most games were uploaded as shareware demos onto local Maine bulletin boards; from there they made their way around the BBS circuit and onto occasional shovelware CDs. A half a dozen games were specifically designed for the Game-Maker 3.0 CD, and several more were also included either as shareware or as demo gameware.

Sample versions of Game-Maker 3.0, packaged for BBS distribution, include Peach, Crullo, Zark, and Patchwork Heart as their sole gameware. RSD also produced a demo game incorporating an interactive slideshow (and the bulk of Sheldon Chase's Woman Warrior and the Outer Limits) into the first level of Peach the Lobster. An earlier demo contains A-J's Quest, version 2.0.

Game chronology

The following is a rough approximation of original release order, based on credited dates and a vague memory. Mind you, projects often overlapped or were put aside then resumed at a later date -- and many games were later revised, which alongside said vague memory can play havok with accuracy. For the full context of release order, see the chronology at Don'Pan Software.
