A FMV game done with AGS: how many have you seen? i don't remember any other...
I played this - it's a lot of fun! I guess it's somewhat of a pixel hunt and kind of repetitive by nature, but I love that these people acted out these scenes and made a short escape from the killer game.

This was really cool. It's a long demo, and admittedly, many empty rooms, but it's nice on atmosphere because of it. You play a sort of fixit man for the local crime guys in a world of anthropomorphic animals. It captures the MS-Dos cga look nicely.

My comment from the $104 adventure game jam thread:
Quote from: heltenjon on Mon 19/10/2020 14:29:09The Man Who Mistake His Wife for a Hat: A bit experimental with using different senses. Not always logical solutions to the puzzles, more of clicking around to see what happens. A lot is not implemented. Don't play if that bothers you.

The MAGS from May 2005 (Topic: humorous science fiction) was won by Linus Larsson's War Stars. As the name suggests, it's a Star Wars parody. The author also has 3 versions/demos of his unfinished game Artie Solomon: What time is it? on the archive, but not in the database. They are here:
https://archive.org/details/what-time-is-it-demo-2001-08-01
https://archive.org/details/what-time-is-it-demo-2002-02-03
https://archive.org/details/what-time-is-it-demo-2002-09-09
It's actually quite cool to see the different versions of the same story or gameplay, but with changes in GUIs and overall design.

Another MAGS entry that's absent from the database, is the clickbaitingly named Pussy Hunt from July 2003. Take it easy, the game is about finding lost kittens and returning them to their basket.  (laugh)

Quote from: TheTMD on Wed 26/04/2023 20:24:07Wulffenstein – Das Adventure für Zurückgetretene - should be a joke i think, just select a dialogue. There's a link to a page where download it
In this short game, you select how a politician answers the press, and your points determine if you stay in office. German language only. It's a joke game, and I found it funny.

Edit: Here are two small joke games from Abandonsocios: (They are on the archive, as well, but not in the database.)
Achtung Franz - Quest for Wine
Doom - A Very Graphic Adventure

And here's an entry in the MAGS December 2002 (XMAGS): Muyeeb the Ghost. It's very short and sort of a joke entry.

Wow, that was...strange. Quite Kafkaesque. But I liked it, even though I never was really sure what was going on and what was illusions. Recommended if Kafka-style games is your thing. About 20 minutes playtime.

Back in June 2005, the theme for MAGS was "Outside the Boundaries", and the rules stated that the entire game should play out inside a bunker. And both entries made a game set in a golf course.  (laugh) One of them is not in the database, but here: Bad Bunker. It's a short game in the avoid the mines family, only that the player need to find water and/or the exit before he dies of thirst.

In June 2006, the MAGS theme was "The elderly", and two of the four games starring senior citizens did not  end up in the database, but are on the archive:
Infantry Division 1338 is a game where you control a group of commandos. You have to switch between them and make them cooperate. A bit tricky controls, but interesting concept.
The Family Treasure is a pirate game. Long and very fun!

Monkey Island remake demo is a fan remake from 2001 of the intro to Secret of Monkey Island, but in 256 colours.

I tried this. It's an adventure, actually. You need to find the correct way to take out all the enemy agents. One screen, some minutes gameplay. Even though it's called a demo, I think it's better described as a short game, perhaps lacking some polish (like sound).

Day of the Sandwich. :)
Wow! This one is a must-play! I love the attention to detail and the great homage to DOTT. Not difficult by our standards, but well thought out and most of all, fun.
EDIT: This game is now added to the database.

This one feels more like an art project than a game. It shows a person living alone in the woods and his morning. Beautiful art. Made me feel good.

The link from Freegames.cz is working, but maybe the site hasn't a good reputation. My antivirus sometimes block the access to it
Anyway, I've shared a folder "AGS" from my Mega account: in there is available Galaxia_Quest.zip (tested and working)

I'll check again, maybe i've gone too fast judging the game

This was a nice first chapter of a planned longer game. Quite challenging puzzles, too. The game lets the player explore his grandfather's apartment, in order to find the secrets from his long life as an adventurer. Thus keys and passwords/codes must be found.

As @OneDollar participates in the MAGS contest this month, I was reminded that his homepage in addition to his games in the database (recommended play!), also has links to four older projects:
Little Simulated People Tech Demo was made for MAGS August 2010 with the theme Parody/Demake. It's a small scale version of The Sims, of sorts.
Recollection Demo is also a MAGS game, made for September 2007 with the theme Innovation. It's quite experimental, and I guess I would spoil it by telling you what it's about. Quite cool!
Attack Game is an hourgame with the theme "REALLY! BAD! HORROR! MOVIE!". It's funny and not very scary.  (laugh)
Roger's Juggle Quest is a surprisingly replayable beat-your-high score-thing involving juggling.

in the french AGS community. The download link (from the forum)
http://dinomania.chez-alice.fr/Atlantis.zip
I played this, and I am stuck on the last puzzle, involving recognizing star patterns to activate the Stargate. While the game seems to be atmospheric, I don't know this series and can't pick up on the lore. There are some annoying bugs that seems to reset the puzzle stats, but they are avoidable as long as you don't repeat actions. I'll post about this in the hint section, too. Hopefully some Stargate fans will come to my rescue. French and English languages. The French sound natural, the English artificial, while understandable.

TheTMD

Remembering of the AGS French Forum, i've checked some of the links i still have to, well .... check....
and the following are two games the authors haven't yet advertized in this forum

Chuck and the Island of Giants by Nylon
https://nylon0.itch.io/pixel-art-point-n-clic-game
as stated in the page, the demo is actually just an incoherent sequence of rooms, that should/will be put togheter to form the game

'Projects' maybe, I don't think any of them count as games. I just replayed Attack Game to remind myself what it was and immediately found a bug. It also contains the phrase "batters eyelids".

Found one weird one that it says it was released in 2022, but I couldn't find in this thread or the DB - or maybe I did a bad search?

It's named Little Mrs. Domestic Goddess, it's here: https://kidrhinogames.itch.io/little-mrs-domestic-goddess

https://www.abandonsocios.org/wiki/RoNgyptian
The demo is a short and fun RoN story, and the music video, well, it is animation to music. You can move around afterwards, but there's no extra game there. Still a bit of fun, though.

He made another music video: Spoons Music Video. This was while working on his game Spoons III, which is in the database. The Demo is not, but is still available in the GIP thread. There are a couple of beta version links as well, just in case any completionists want to check out the entire journey towards the completed game.

Edit: I played Spoons III, and realize now that the music video and the demo are both included in the game.
Edit II: Jwalt also made yet another music video: Could it be?
Edit III: And another music video! West End Girls

Jwalt has been quite prolific in the last MAGS contests, making a series of fun games about Davy and Josh travelling through multiple dimensions, but he hasn't added them to the database yet.
Here they are:
Wagu Ogambo (Nov 23)
Not My RON (Dec 23)
Trippy (Jan 24)
The Second Secret of the Orbs (Feb 24)
And he's working on the March installment as we speak.  (nod) By his own description, he's more of a movie maker than a game maker, but nevertheless I think he's a good storyteller and the games are worth a look.

Quote from: eri0o on Wed 06/03/2024 08:57:13Found one weird one (...)
It's named Little Mrs. Domestic Goddess, it's here: https://kidrhinogames.itch.io/little-mrs-domestic-goddess
This game is kind of a statement game. It's funny and feministic, just in case someone thought that was hard to pull off. The dev seems to have made lots of shorties using different game maker systems, and she also seems fond of deconstructing genres and make satire of them. Lots of swearing, in case that is important to whoever's reading this.

Some of the games Tag2015 asked for in the other thread turned up, and I guess they should be here, too.

Revenge of the Nagging Sister is a game a girl made for her brother to remind him that he had promised to make a game for her. (laugh) Don't expect the world, but it has some charm, I'll give it that. Basically, find the items-game.
Stick Man Quest is a two-room training game.
DROI0 (or possibly called DROID3, too) is a strange and bug-ridden game that has you controlling a droid and trying to gain control of a space ship. It's an adventure game, despite of what it sounds like. This will probably test anyone's patience.
Whodunit is an adventure with sprinklings of investigation, but for the most part this takes the back seat. I'm at a loss to describe this one properly. On the one hand, there are some clever puzzles and a couple of funny jokes here, on the other, there's sudden death, an enormous maze,some serious moon logic and the possibility of being soft-locked with no chance to win. Oh, and I thought the game was broken, but you move using the keyboard cursor keys. The walk icon is there, but does nothing.
Psychic Sam and the Postal Service of Doom
Last Order is by the same author as Nagging Sister a few lines above. This is a very short game about trying to get served before the pub closes.

(I will edit in comments here after trying the last games.)

Unfortunately, this game is still in production, if I understand correctly.
