Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The history section of the article details how Game-Maker developed out of the tile editing tool that G. Andrew Stone designed for his maze game, Labyrinth. This tile editor then became the backbone and most familiar function of RSD Game-Maker. This screenshot shows the distinctive appearance, and by extension suggests the use, of Block Designer, helping to illustrate how and why the software developed into the package that it did. |

Game-Maker is a visual design environment. The visual display is central to its concept, and by extension is highly distinctive and memorable. Although the text describes the evolution of the software, without seeing the actual interface it is hard to picture exactly how the software works, or became the package that it did. With a couple of screenshots, it all becomes clear. |
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | This is a screenshot of a low-resolution VGA DOS software program, for use in this one article alone. The article only uses a few key pictures, to illustrate the software's packaging, main interfaces, and a representative demo game that provided much of the software's iconography. There is no more than one picture per heading, and the picture (if any) selected for each heading is carefully judged to illustrate the major point of that particular heading. |

Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
As static representation of dynamic interface whose purpose reasonably could only be to illustrate that interface, this image could not reasonably be considered to affect the ability of the software owners to make money from the software. Additionally, as an entity Recreational Software Designs ceased to exist in 2006. |
