Maybe under another nickname :?

Yeah, the first demo "game". He didn't make the graphics, though.

Sigh... You just didn't get the jo... nevermind.
CJ actually made a lot of homebrew games (mostly clones of famous games such as B*bble B*bble, etc.) and tools for DOS back at the time. Adventure Creator was just one of his creations, and the most successful one, that survives until now. He probably never made a "true" game except the demo by using AC though.

Actually those old DOS stuff was the main reason I am here, and it's not AC, since AC didn't even work on my system. Ah, those old days...

It's the games he makes us play in the bedroom that are the most entertaining anyway.

Do you have some links or screenshots of that please?

I remember a Command&Conquer clone or something which BLEW my mind when I found out he had made it but I can't remember the name!

You did the same IN Ags ;)

Anyway: Here's his old website, with the stuff he did until the year 2000

Haha yeah any screenshots from some of those DOS games? ;) Nuclear Part 2 - by Chris Jonéz! He had said he will make an AGS game at some point... Perhaps... Nuclear part 3, Rekindled? Writing games for DOS was fun. A bygone era of creativity, over sometime before its potential (and that of say, indie developers) was probably met too. But we'll always have Nuclear Part 2 (but not 1 or 3 sadly). ;D

Apart from those Demo game there was the intro part of SQ4 recreated with AGS as a showcase(I think it's AGS V2.x already, as AC V1.x probably wasn't good enough for that). I didn't remember whether it's CJ himself who made it though.
