----- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS -----
* Mac OS 10.1 or better


----- KNOWN ISSUES -----
* GameMaker may still have problems when encountering a full disk. It is highly recommended that you use a Hard drive with lots of free space and always keep a backup copy of your project (see "Disk Space & Files").

* There is approximately a 16Mb limit for GameMaker projects and applications. Creating a project that is larger than 16Mb can corrupt your project or cause GameMaker to crash. You should use external files for large games. See IMAGEFILE, MOVIE, and SPRITE commands for ways to use external files.

* GameMaker will not run on locked or read only media such as a CD. If you recieved GameMaker on CD, drag the entire folder to your hard drive and run it from there.
