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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM 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 [http://aderack.com/builder 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 [[:Category:Don'Pan Software|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 [[Game-Maker Demo|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.
