Download AGS
What do I need to run AGS?
AGS supports Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7 & Windows Vista, with the free Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 installed. If you're running Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you'll also need to install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5; this is already installed in more recent versions of Windows.
Windows 2000, XP, ME, 98, 95 or lower
Sorry, but AGS no longer runs on these versions of Windows. Please upgrade to Vista or later!

Source Code and Ports
Development of AGS happens on our GitHub page. The Git repository not only contains the source code of the AGS editor and engine for Windows, but also ports of the AGS engine to Linux, Android, iOS and PSP (which allow you to play AGS games on these platforms). Instructions for compiling the ports can be found on the GitHub pages.
AGS development is usually discussed in the Engine Development and Editor Development forums.
