Remember those shady ads for Chips & Bits in the back of all the game magazines, with their lists of obscure, import, and adult software? Stuff like Metal & Lace? Well, here's a November 1992 Chips & Bits ad featuring RSD Game-Maker, found in Computer Gaming World #100 on page #129.
A variant also appears in CGW #101 (December 1992), on page #93 and CGW #102 (January 1993) on page #99. That one promises a "FREE** GAME WITH EACH ORDER OVER $100". There's no explanation for the double-emphasized caveat. Games given the same prominence as Game-Maker include Sid Meier's Pirates Gold, id Software's Spear of Destiny, Amazon, and Star Legions.
Full text: "'GAME MAKER' allows you to create 256 color VGA adventure and arcade games without programming. Features sound support, multiple levels per game, import images from .GIF files, character & monster animation, scrolling in all directions, add or subtract hit points lives, score and money. $68"
Big difference between this price and the suggested retail quoted in RSD's ad on page #55.
