Hi, I am thinking about getting Torque game engine, and I was wondering exactly what I need. Does the 100.00 product come with all you need to make a game, or is there side products that you will need.

You need a C++ compiler to use Torque. If you're not a C++ programmer, you'll have to work with someone who is.

You'll also need to get some sort of program for making the art. 2d art uses different programs from 3d art. And what you use depends upon what you want to do.

I use MS C++ .net but there are some free compliers, but i dont rember any names.

For 3d Art you can use Blender a free program or the low cost Milkshape, or if you have the cash 3d Studio Max or Maya.

For 2D art you can use Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or GIMP.
