I know it started from LucasArts game, but...
Why there are adventure games about Indiana Jones, and any about MacGyver?!!!(Who is better main character for such games)

It probably has to do with that Indy is a Lucas property, and LucasArts makes adventure games. .

Besides, MacGyver can make anything out of anything, you could beat the game with only 2 or 3 inventory items...

Well sort of. MacGyver's creations do usually make sense though, like adventure game inventory combinations (in well-written games) do too...

Which would make a great game, and probably a worthy MAGS competition!

I was making an Indiana Jones game starring Richard Dean Anderson once though. Not at all inspired by the Robert Redford games (that's a lie). I might have alienated EvenWolf when I bugged him about the game.

That would be a cool idea for MAGs, have a MacGyver month.

One of the most bullshit episodes I saw (after I was joking about "imagine if he did this one day" type thing) he was locked or hiding in some shed, and with the equipment in there, a toothpick and a lavalamp, He made an aeroplane and flew to safety.

Well it wasn't really that equipment but he did fly out in a home made plane. I used to love that show, even though it was so predictable.

I never got to set rules for mags (i think? it was going through some changes at the time) after I won last february, so I think MacGyver can be for February this year. Well I don't really get to say, but hint hint to the winner.

If there was a MacGyver month for MAGS then I'd definately enter and try to make a game... probably just one room or something, where you have to escape, using a strand of hair and a lighter...
