Does anyone know if AGS 2.62 is still available?

After some years away from game design, I'm trying to get back into it again.  Although I admire the work that goes into upgrading the versions (3.0 looks particularly impressive!) I'm really much happier and more comfortable with good ol' 2.62.  I tried 2.72 only to find that most of the functions I was used to using had become obsolete.

Does anyone know if I can get 2.62 anywhere, and if so where?  Thanks :)

If you thing you might have to ask for scripting help on the forums, I'd really recommend upgrading to 3.0. Personally I barely remember anymore how the non-object-oriented code worked. If you're continuing work on an existing game, turning off "Enforce new style strings" and "Enforce object-based scripting" could help you keep your legacy code.

and I too prefer 2.62.

Thanks so much; you're a lifesaver!  Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes 2.62 ;)

I do have the 3.0 installation files and if I get time I'll give it a try.  I'll remember what you said about continuing on an existing project; thanks :)

My scripting's not too bad, although right now I'm about to start work on an educational game for children with learning disabilities, so it won't need to be anything fancy...more along the lines of 'the big red key opens the big red door' ;D

I am too a proud user of 2.62 :D

I just don't have time to go learning an entire new scripting language.
