These platformer games were created in Game Maker 7. The first game was finished at 03/07/10, the second game was finished at 05/07/10 and the third game was finished sometime before 16/01/11.
When I was 11 years old, I played a freeware fan-game called Yoshi vs Windows, and I really enjoyed it. Taking inspiration from that game, I decided to also create a game in which a character goes inside a computer to do battle. Hence, I created ‘Furghball’s PC Battle!‘. It follows the story of a white Kirby-like character that fights ‘Mega-Virus’ within his own computer. I was so happy with the result that I decided to bring it into school one day. I also brought in a sequel, which incorporated a few new features.
My peers in my Year 6 class really enjoyed the games. At the end of the day, my teacher said that he could ‘see me as a software developer one day’, which made me feel flattered and proud. Now, these games may not seem very impressive compared to my later games, but this was big for an 11-year-old kid. Furghball’s PC Battle was the first game series of mine to include a story, a boss and moving enemies. If the second game’s buttons do not work, try pressing ‘F12’ to start the game. Pressing F12 was a debug feature I forgot to take out. Recently, in 2019, I found out that I made a third game, so now I’ve added that too. I don’t have the source files for that, unfortunately.
