Description from the packaging.

Designer's library for use with Garry Kitchen's GameMaker: The computer game design kit.

Gentlemen, start your engines, play ball, go to your corners and come out fighting.

The Sport's Library is a collection of pre-designed images and effects. So when you're ready to start creating with GameMaker, you've got the playing fields. The equipment. The athletes. The moves. The music. The crowds. In other words, the Designer's Library puts you way ahead of the game.

Get ready, get set, play.

Designing your own computer sports game just became easier. And a lot faster. The Sports Library contains pre-designed backgrounds, characters, objects, animation routines, sounds and music for popular sports. So you can create football, baseball and basketball games. Stage boxing matches or track and field events. Simulate a Grand Prix auto race. Even a dart competition. Just select the options you want to use. Then turn your thoughts to creating your own game with Garry Kitchen's GameMaker. In record time.

What'll it be? A track? The gridiron? A basketball court? You've got it. And the players. And their gear. You've even got a complex series of actions. Everything from a right cross to a slide into home. All pre-designed and ready to use.

Say you want to play baseball. You shouldn't have to reinvent the diamond. That's why we created the Sports Library. It gives you the diamond. And a choice of playing surfaces. And bleachers. Even a ballpark organist. Unless you'd prefer a band of kazoos. It's all up to you.

Take the Athletes.  Player by player, move by move, you create you own team.  Talk about a manager's dream.  You determine each player's endurance.  Each player's accuracy.  Each player's speed.  Tell the outfielder when to jump and, yes, how high.  You decide when your pitcher will throw a mean slider.  Or a curveball.  Or a totally new pitch you created yourself.

Anything's possible when you combine GameMaker and the GameMaker Sports Library.

Recreate the sounds of your favorite game. Hear the swish of a basket. The starter's gun. The referee's whistle. The crack of a bat. You can even add songs, cheerleaders and screaming fans. It's your ballgame.
