We will keep fighting for all libraries - stand with us!
Can You Chip In?
Dear Patron: Please don't scroll past this. The Internet Archive is a nonprofit fighting for universal access to quality information. We build and maintain all our own systems, but we don’t charge for access, sell user information, or run ads. Instead, we're powered by online donations averaging $15.58. We'd be deeply grateful if you'd join the one in a thousand users that support us financially.
We understand that not everyone can donate right now, but if you can afford to contribute this Thursday, we promise it will be put to good use. Our resources are crucial for knowledge lovers everywhere—so if you find all these bits and bytes useful, please pitch in.

Reviewer: vaporluck - - March 4, 2024
Subject: Some sort of malware
It worked but it recently started changing some of my cursor icons (loading). I did a virus scan using MalwareBytes and it flagged Gamemaker 8.1. As soon as I deleted it, my cursor went back to normal. Wouldn't trust this.

Same, when I was 12 I enjoyed this software.
Reviewer: Richardo394 - favoritefavoritefavoritefavoritefavorite - January 23, 2024
Subject: Great
Used to love this when I was 12. Made designing games accessible for kids. Great program and something we need more of.

Subject: Even the upgrader works
This is beautyful! I think this is the best version of game maker. Even the upgrader works! Just try to run game maker, and then run the upgrader.

Hey Emanu1674,
I don't think that's the default location. Isn't it supposed to be in Program Files?
Pretty sure the upgrader isn't busted, maybe it's on your end.
Reviewer: Emanu1674 - favorite - November 23, 2023
Subject: Upgrader doesn't work
"GameMaker 8.1 Is Not Installed
Please install it first!
If it is installed. install it to the DEFAULT location.."
It is installed on the default location:
"C:\Users\[USERNAME]\GameMaker 8.1\"
The upgrader is busted

Subject: Should I download the Upgrader??
I want to download it but McCafee says Malicious Downloads. Should I download it?
Reviewer: Tercio França Santos (SparkTFS) - favoritefavoritefavoritefavorite - July 26, 2023
Subject: Title
Where should I install Game Maker 8.1 for the Upgrader to work? I installed in "C:\Users\[MyUserName]\GameMaker 8.1\" (the default location to me) and it couldn't find the installation.
I'm using Windows 10.

I made a test game and it was fine but out of nowhere it just wouldn't open anymore
Reviewer: names_are_useless - favoritefavoritefavoritefavoritefavorite - July 6, 2023
Subject: Works as expected
Works wonderfully!
I would recommend Game Maker 8.2 if you want to expand even further: https://archive.org/details/game-maker-8.2.7z

Subject: For anyone confused
people keep complaining that this is only the lite version, completely ignoring the patch tool https://archive.org/download/GameMaker81/Gm8.1Upgrader.exe it's right here and on the page. install Game Maker 8.1 then run this.. Boom! now you have standard version. Please stop lying and saying it's ONLY the lite version
