Old DSGM Forum Examples & Reference

Back when DS Game Maker was originally being actively developed and maintained, there was an older forum that was online until 2016 or so.

The Old DSGM Forum contained many examples and help topics that are currently only accessible through the Internet Archive site's Wayback Machine.

Original DSGM Forum Wayback Machine Link:
https://web.archive.org/web/20150416033 ... /index.php




I took the time to go through all the available tutorial topics to save you from having to find them yourself amongst the numerous dead links to unarchived pages. ;)

Keep in mind though Wayback Machine did not archive every file posted on the forum so you may not be able to download or view some example files or images.
