   Selling __MY___ Games?
  well, after reading that post on selling your games... I have been making "silly games" with GameMaker(.nl) for a while, (and yes you can sell things you make with it) and have come to the point where I have about 30 professional quality silly games, do you think I could stick them on a CD and sell them for about 20$ per cd (the cd containing all 30 games)... maybe sell them off my web and at the little game store around the corner (I know the guy, I could get him to put them up)... got any suggestions? (you guys would get free access to them... I promise) It''s Maxd Gaming, put in an underscore and I will beat you with a rubber ducky! { My Site! - Banner } { My Site! - One time popup }{ My .Net Information  }{ A upcoming space RTS codenamed Gruntacktica . }{ . }Not following the new trend:Looky here mommy!

(you guys would get free access to them... I promise)20 bucks is too much for a collection of little minigames. If they're really good games, I would price them at $5 per CD plus whatever one CD costs you, and try to get some good publicity. Market them as shareware, if possible.If they're good, you could make quite a pretty penny. I'd be willing to pay five bucks for good games, and I bet a fairly large number of people would as well.

Actually, I am hoping to build up a small-medium fan base so I can release some better games and actually have a reason to do it   It''s Maxd Gaming, put in an underscore and I will beat you with a rubber ducky! { My Site! - Banner } { My Site! - One time popup }{ My .Net Information  }{ A upcoming space RTS codenamed Gruntacktica . }{ . }Not following the new trend:Looky here mommy!
