A-J Games Presents

A prolific Maine-based outfit that collaborated with several other Game-Maker authors and contributed to Recreational Software Designs' release of the Game-Maker 3.0 CD-ROM. The studio name comes from the developer's first game, A-J's Quest -- which was in turn based on a comic strip eponymously named after its protagonist, Andrew-Jonathan.

In 2011, A-J Games was folded into the publisher Jeneric Rules as a legacy label and officially retired from ongoing use.

Game chronology

The following is a rough approximation of original release order, based on credited dates and a vague memory. Mind you, projects often overlapped or were put aside then resumed at a later date -- and many games were later revised, which alongside said vague memory can play havok with accuracy. For the full context of release order, see the chronology at Don'Pan Software.

Distribution

Most games were uploaded as shareware demos onto local Maine bulletin boards; from there they made their way around the BBS circuit and onto occasional shovelware CDs. A half a dozen games were specifically designed for the Game-Maker 3.0 CD, and several more were also included either as shareware or as demo gameware.

Sample versions of Game-Maker 3.0, packaged for BBS distribution, include Peach, Crullo, Zark, and Patchwork Heart as their sole gameware. RSD also produced a demo game incorporating an interactive slideshow (and the bulk of Sheldon Chase's Woman Warrior and the Outer Limits) into the first level of Peach the Lobster. An earlier demo contains A-J's Quest, version 2.0.
