** For those who want something even easier, there's the [https://web.archive.org/web/20131031094112/http://www.ragsgame.com/Downloads.aspx RAGS suite], which is basically point and click!
** This is not a new idea either. There were at least two products released for the [[TRS-80]] Color Computer which allowed a user to specify vocabulary, rooms, items, and characters and then generated a BASIC program that implemented the game.
* [http://www.stencyl.com/ Stencyl] is a finished after years of waiting productaproduct that is sort of a Game Engine for Game Makers, finally finished after years of waiting{{when}}. It has some of the functionality of a Game Engine, but rather than making a game, you use it to make a "Kit". Kits define the basic behavior of the style of game, like [[Shoot'Em Up]]s or [[Platform Game]]s. Then, it becomes a Game Maker for that particular style of game.

* [[World Builder]] was a popular graphic adventure game maker in the black-and-white [[Apple Macintosh|Macintosh]] era, and was best known for the commercial game ''[[Enchanted Scepters]]'' (among amateur authors, Ray Dunakin and Louise Hope are probably the most noted). Its creator went on to found Cyberflix Interactive and develop an [[Full Motion Video|FMV Game]] engine called Dream Factory.
* ''[[StepMania]]'' is a vanilla build of ''[[Dance Dance Revolution]]'', allowing people to make their own rhythm games from it. Hell, it's what ''[[In The Groove]]'' and ''[[Mungyodance]]'' were built off of.
