A portable version of Game-Maker's PLAYGAME utility; the name XFERPLAY presumably comes from "Transfer Play".
Each game consists of a copy of the XFERPLAY program file, which contains all of the essential code, and a collection of data files that plug into XFERPLAY to populate the game with content. Those data files are compiled and organized in a .GAM file, produced with Integrator.
Programmed by Gregory Stone, in a mix of C and Assembly.
