It also contains copies of PKZip 2.04G and LHA Version 2.13, Alchemy Mindworks' Graphic Workshop for both DOS and Windows, a batch file called "UNXFER.BAT" that serves to import a standalone game into early Game-Maker's convoluted directory structure, and a selection of template BBL and MAP files distributed under the name "Graphic Tools", meant to speed up game design.

A little over three months later (December 30th, 1993), a second disk went out labeled "Gameware Disk #1". Its contents include:
