Thanks for that Warbird. I always wondered how so many people make games. Would this software be any good for making a massive game (e.g. the size in Mb as the Sims???). Or is it restricted in capabilities to only doing things like the Nintendo would feature?

If you are good in GML (GameMaker Language, the language of GM) you can make games that are better looking then Mario and games like that, but you can't make big games like Sims or FarCry with it. If you wanna make your own games you realy should try it, GML is pretty similar to C++ but much easier, so if you know GML well then you can go to learn C++ to make more complicated games.
