I loved the games factory and click and create! I made so many games... and it really was so easy. That software might have determined my life's direction. I had always wished at the time that I could somehow send these games to others. Now with the internet and web based software, it might be a dream come true for my younger self :)

That's the aim! I've also really started noticing that audiences for games made in these sorts of programs really are opening up, I spoke to an older man the other day who just bought an iPad, he was telling me how much him and his friends were laughing for hours playing fun little games, he said he hasn't had that much fun for a long time! There really is a revival of these types of games going on at the moment in my opinion, all fuelled by new technology making it a lot more widely accessible.

Hey, I actually work for Clickteam today. The successor to TGF/CNC (Multimedia Fusion) has add-ons for exporting to Flash, iOS and soon Android. It can still import old GAM/CCA files, too, if you're looking for a nostalgia fix! I think Clickteam have been forgotten about to a degree, mainly due to the website/marketing not being much different than it was in the 90s, but things are beginning to change in that regard.

  I'm amazed you're still around! I actually used Multimedia Fusion too. Legal purchase and everything. At the time I couldn't find any kind of export like that. I also didn't have an internet connection, so maybe it just wasn't up to date. Great products, by the way.

I stopped using The Games Factory at the end of the 90s. My introduction to the sequel product (Multimedia Fusion) actually came from playing a game using the web plugin they developed for TGF. Nowadays, as sibling comment pointed out, there's a Flash plugin, so if you ever want to let your younger self out, you can do it right away! Of course, there were always people with websites where you could download games (hope you had a 56k modem!). And I know I certainly sent a few floppy discs around. So even back then, you weren't limited. Disclosure: also a Clickteam programmer.
