I have just recieved a reply from Power Unlimited (the most popular game-magazine of the Benelux!
I asked them if they could write an article about adventure games, the old ones, and review it weither adventures are dead or not. I told them some ways to write this, including the link to AGS, and I told them the power of AGS, and that many people make in there spare time free cool adventure games.
They wrote me back, and told me they were interested in this topic, and they checked out AGS, they even downloaded it, and have tested some bits of it. They told me they were going to make an article about it, wich will be published in October or November!!
Now thousands and thousands of people from The Netherlands and Belgium are going to know about AGS, and be inspired to play adventure games again!
I am really excited about this, I only hope CJ doesn't blame me, if you DO, please tell me, and I will contact them, to not mention AGS. I have asked them to pull off a inspiring article for adventures, and they told me they would!
hehe
I also had that idea for a while,
realgamer even USED ags to make a game called the masters they'd have an article about it every month!
and a few topics about adventure games (wich also included AGS, and some games like rob blanc :))
anyway I think it's a good idea, aslong as their conclusion isn't "adventure games are dead" :P
thousands and thousands of people in The Netherlands and Belgium already know about AGS, and seemingly, a considerable part of them are already members here :)
I guess this is good for those people who need to be constantly reassured that the genre isn't dead in order to finish their games...I myself would do it anyway, of course
Holy crapola-monkeys, it's a mass AGS magazine takeover! :)
Thousands and millions of n00bs! Can't wait! :P
m0ds
I am glad for you Minimi. I really hope they make mention to you. I'm glad that somebody is spreading the word. :)
I think a few billion agsers would be good for the community.

Oh uh, don't mind me- I'll just be uh- in this bomb shelter.
