Developers of CD-ROM games are like artists; they need certain "tools" in order to create their works of art. While some developers find that today's more "mature" software programs work best for them, others are experimenting with some of the recently introduced high end products that now offer a variety of features aimed specifically at game developers.

If you're a multimedia developer who creates products that reuse pre existing material such as images, videoclips and sound you must obtain proper copyright clearances for that material a process which can be overwhelming as well as time consuming. But if you handle this process properly, you can achieve this goal without breaking your budget or creating an on going headache for yourself.
