-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the 250th Episode of my web series Ancient DOS Games, I decided to cover
the lesser known game development software known simply as Game-Maker, often
called "RSD Game-Maker" to avoid confusing it with other programs by the same
name. In doing so, I put this game together in the span of about a week,
somewhere between 50 and 70 hours of total work, half of which was probably
spent butting up against Game-Maker's limitations than actually making
progress. :P

All of the controls are listed in the game itself, simply run the EGACGA.EXE
inside a DOS emulator or on a real DOS PC and you're ready to play!

Alternatively, I've also included the GAM file which can be loaded up in
Game-Maker itself if you wish to investigate how the game plays. ;)

As this is a Game-Maker title expect it to glitch out every now and again.
The most common glitch is stun locking, where the player will start taking
damage repeatedly, unable to move. Just rapidly press movement keys until you
start moving then hold any movement key down. This isn't guaranteed to work
but is the best way to get out of a stun lock.
