Arcade Game Construction Kit is a 1988 game creation system for making action video games.[1][2] It was developed by Mike Livesay and published by Broderbund for the Commodore 64 on four floppy disks. The program uses a joystick-driven menu system and includes six pre-made games to learn from and play.
