AGS facts

[arj0n]

In my list the games are without english translation.
Games having English + other languages could indeed be added but I can't search for that easily...

First game with windows executable: I found this one but i'm not sure if that's the first windows game:
First game using Winsetup.exe - Island Quest [demo] - by OneThinkingGal and ._. - 2002-02.

Fix the predating error btw, thanx

[Nikolas]

First non-english games:

I'm sure there are several games in French, aren't there? If games with translations count, then Portuguese and Czech should be on there. First game using translations? Game with most translations? First game with windows executable? First game that lacks a DOS executable? First game that uses the movie play module?

Also, your "first compiled joke game" predates your "first compiled game, any category".

You read the whole list?  :o

Geek!

Hey Arjon,

I'd just like to mention that I've released "Alles Euro" on Feb 24th 2000
The development started in December 1999 and I'm also pretty sure I've released a demo back then.
I even remember that CJ found it "pretty impressive", hehe.

Yay! Can we add "First geek to read the whole list" to the list?

Ah, I only have the "2008 re-release version". Changed the list now.
Alles Euro is now the first released/compiled game [any category & first released/compiled short game ever 

Hey, do you have a copy of the original version? I'd really like to have that one for my collection

Smallest [non-compo & non-joke & non-training] Adventure Game [Disk-size] Ever [1,53 MB (1.609.714 bytes)]

6 Day Assassin

According to its Database Entry it's only 423 Kb (433, 152 bytes).

There're some factual errors about these facts though. It's common knowledge that Lassi Quest was the 1st ever made game (I couldn't remember whether it was still in AC era or AGS, but if it was AGS, then there was no single game compiled with AC) but none of the 'first xxx game' categories here listed it.

First game to feature CJ as a voice actor: Granny Zombiekiller ... I think

But how can you then explain that Lassi Quest uses the character from Alles Euro. That guy that I "open sourced" after my release.
Another proof is that Visy imported Lassi (who I named Mac) without blocking the palette, hence the strange colours.

Btw. that's a new fact: first public available character beside BeMan and Roger.

Need proof?

bam!


@Arjon:
I think I've the orginial installed archived somewhere, I'll take a look.

Yes, archived it's 433kb.
1.53mb = unpacked.
All size-facts are "unpacked facts"

[Gilbert]

Heh, maybe you're correct, as I remember both games appeared at approximately the same time, but I couldn't tell which was first, though I think one point people did argue at the time was that LQ was a "full game" or something like that. I couldn't judge as I never played your game for obvious reasons (it wasn't even in English, right?) and I didn't even know they share graphics.

I know Lassi Quest is know as 1st ags game ever, but:

Alles Euro/Everything Euro [Original version] by abstauber has been compiled in 2000-02
Lassi Quest 1 [Original version] by Visy has been compiled in 2000-12

Does that mean that I do not have the 'real' original version?

EDIT:
Abstauber already proofed who was first, hadn't read that post when posting this one...
Anyway, the compile dates mentioned in this post "might" be a proof too

@Arjon:

Being the "real" 1st evah AGS game you *must* upload that version
No really, much appreciated if I can get your original version!

[arj0n]

OK, I thought "Alles Euro/Everything Euro" [compiled/released 2000-02-24] was the 1st ever ags game but now I found this:

Stickmen v1.0 by DGMacpee has been compiled in 2000-01 5:45 [short games]
Ultimerr by DCMacPee has been compiled in 2000-01-01 5:02 [short games]

So, can someone validate what the real 1st AGS game is?

[Gilbert]

Does that mean that I do not have the 'real' original version?

That's still possible, so build dates aren't concrete proofs (but other stuff are, as settled in the above discussions and I'm sure you're aware of them), unless you can confirm that the files are indeed the first version.

One problem was that the Wikipedia article even lists LQ to have been released in as early as late '99. I don't know who added that (but at least the page in our own Wiki doesn't have this claim), and I couldn't confirm it as it's been a long, long time, but if that's true then it at least shows that you cannot judge this by build dates (not to mention that dates can be inaccurate and it's those favourite "millenium-bug" years).

Edited:
I'm quite sure that the Euro learning game and LQ predated DG's games. That's possibly an indication that your files weren't the original versions/build dates couldn't be taken seriously.
