Maggies: Vote for your favorite MAGS 2009 (Winner Announced)

[Dualnames]

Is it really 2010? Yes, it appears it is! So it's also time to find out which was the best game posted in the last twelve months. Weird enough this is the only time in MAGS history, that a host is having his own game. No worries, I'm not allowed to win, I'm just keeping the game there, you can still vote it.

Time to decide who's the ultimate game maker of 2009. Two weeks to vote between the games. Are you really up for it?

We don't want to judge about best graphics, best character or other best categories - there's already a famous award for doing this. "Maggies" just wants to know what's your favorite MAGS game 2009. It's up to you to decide what's most important: Graphics, gameplay, idea, interpretation of the MAGS rules, whatever...


For voting please visit the MAGS site or make your choice right here:

It can't get smoother, can it?

[Helme]

The choice was surprisingly easy for me.

[SpacePirateCaine]

I really like having the link to the voting pages there individually, but I thought I'd take it a step further and provide links for easy download and access to all of the MAGS games this year so people wouldn't have to take that extra step. Enjoy!

Steamsquares
The Secret Plan 1 - Running to Stand Still
Soul's Quest
A Place Without Frontier
Writer's Blocks - Tech Demo

The order in which I posted is slightly different from Dualnames's, but I've doublechecked, and this is all of the games. Enjoy!

Edit: Some of the links seem broken, I am working on finding valid links. If anyone has links for The above, unlinked files, please let me know and I will link them.

Edit #2: Dual has added download links to the first post, so I've gotten rid of mine, keeping only a list of the as-of-yet undownloadable games. I'm fairly certain I have a copy of 'A Place Without Frontier', as I was the topic-creator that month. I'm searching for it and will upload it to Mediafire temporarily if I can find it.

[Dualnames]

Thanks a lot Space, I edited the first post!

Some really good competition this year, but my vote simply has to be for Aeronuts.  Abstauber completely surprised me with that entry AND HE GETS MY VOTE FOR MAGICAL GOODNESS!

SKOAL


Also, in the future it might be a good idea to include all the games in one zip file like TIG Source does with their game competitions.  It makes it really easy to make sure you have all the games .

Thanks to Peder:

Souls Quest
Steam Squares
One of a kind
The Secret Plan
A place without frontier
Writers Block


[edit]
By the way.... Peder collected them all in the AGS Archive...

Thanks Peder, for hosting my game!

[abstauber]

Hey ProgZ, thanks a lot (again)
To be honest, before I started on Aeronuts, I've played Jonas Tapfer, loved it and made it my mags quality reference. Too bad I wasn't around the time you've released it...

[OneDollar]

Wooh I have two entries this year! If that's not progress I don't know what is

[abstauber]

The voting period will run two long weeks until January 17th.

*cough* Dualnames, wake up please  8)

[magintz]

Yay the mes again Congratulations to everyone who won and entered.

[abstauber]

Wow, this is incredible

I'm really honoured that my game was chosen out of 33 other great entries.

Thanks to all of you for playing all these titles - I'm sure looking at 34 titles in two weeks gave you hard time. And thanks to all other contestants for making 2009 such a cool MAGS season!



PS
Wooooooooooooo!!!

[poc301]

Congrats Abstauber!

Well deserving game, I must say.   I enjoyed it.


Thanks to all those who voted for mine, being tied for 2nd isn't too shabby.
