RSD Game Maker is a DOS-based game engine that was produced between 1991 through 1995 by a company known as Recreational Software Designs, and sold through direct mail by KD Software. The engine was also sold in other places around the world such as Canada, UK, Belgium, Argentina, South Korea, etc. It was the first ever general-purpose graphical game maker for DOS-based PCs. Later on, the source code for version 3.0 was released on GitHub by original coder Andy Stone under the MIT license.
Being that it was mostly used by people at their home instead of actual companies, it was more likely for them to become lost. Some games were distributed through BBS, and some were even put on CD compilations, while others were never distributed at all. Multiple games have been preserved throughout the years, but multiple others are currently lost.
A website does exist out there for RSD Game Maker, and the games developed for it created by Aderack, who has developed several games himself.[1]

Alan Caudel
This one is by far one of the most complete when it comes to Game-Maker developers with games made in multiple decades. This is because he has managed to preserve almost all of the games he made for the engine since the early 1990s to be played by anyone.
