Is there any way to know before downloading what version of rpg maker the game uses before downloading? One of my arrow keys have broken recently so has made it that I can only really play newer games with mouse controls however I find myself downloading older games not knowing that I wont be able to play them. Is there anyway I can know beforehand?

You could try checking it's games thread or store page. For example if you look at the AKIRA Points
You must be registered to see the links
it tells you it's MV, and it's come up in the game thread. With Depravity of a Lewd Vampire
You must be registered to see the links
and the thread tell you it's VX Ace.

What TheBlueKnight said. Also:
- if they say that you need to install an RTP, the game is definitely NOT made with RPG Maker MV/MZ. So, mouse support is very unlikely
- if there is an Android/Mac/Linux download link, the game is made with RPG Maker MV/MZ and you should be able to play it
- depending on the engine, UI elements look different (shape, color). Compare for instance both the icons on the top left corner and the text-boxes: you can tell that #1 is made with VX (Ace?), #2 is made with MV

- character icons in XP and older versions, are very different from both VX/VX Ace/MV. This is how they typically look in XP for instance
