Game Makers

Game Makers is a TV show on G4. The original series followed the process of game development, as a company attempts to finish a big new game in time for shipment. The "original" Game Makers did not air often, and when it did it was referred to as a "G4 Special Presentation" rather than a separate entity. The original Game Makers was cancelled and taken off air in early 2006. After the revamp of Icons in June 2006, the classic game based episodes of Icons began to air under the name Game Makers. The original series no longer airs, but a few re-runs aired in May 2006. Game Makers (episodes of the original Game Makers and original Icons) last aired December 1, 2006, on G4. Considering one new episode of the show on Madden 07 (essentially an original Game Makers episode) was aired in November. G4 reran Game Makers in December 2007 on Wednesdays, despite its air in the early mornings.
