Eclypse Games

A Jerseyan who went under the name OmegAkira and the publishing labels Diamond Edge Software, then Eclypse Games, James Faux (pronounced "Fox") ran the dial-up SiNiSTRY BBS, which specialized in Game-Maker development. This may also have been the name of his personal rock band. The board was only available irregularly, as he ran it off of his primary phone line.

Significantly, Jim was a musician and he was one of the few individuals outside of Epic Megagames to figure out what to do with the .CMF music format that Game-Maker relied on. So if nothing else, his games tended to be all original: new ideas, new techniques, new graphical elements, new sound effects, new music. A few of his earlier games do use the familiar stock tracks, though that tendency soon diminished.
