Looking For A Platform Game Maker Tool

[The Fifth Horseman]

My programming capability sucks, as in I can't code a simplest program from scratch, and I'd love to be able to do a platform game or two... somewhat close to Metroid or those more recent Castlevania games... classic 2D style.
So, I recalled dimly that there are some game maker tools, and there would probably be some for platform games as well. However, I don't know any.

Which one(s) would you recommend?

Well, the Bob and George Fan Games Forum (http://forums.bobandgeorge.com/viewforum.php?f=15) recomends Game Maker for all your Megaman Fan Game needs. They even offer help to newbies. I trust them because nowhere on the net have I found a group that doesn't just talk about making fan games, they actually do it.

It's likely that'll do the trick for you.

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

Wow, they got a bunch of fanmade platformers!
Now, that's something I always appreciate (being an utter and incurable platform game addict). :Brain:
Thanks! :ok:
