AGS anniversary

Anybody knows when first version of AGS was created?

By the way, we - community - should celebrate the anniversary in some way.
Hope you like the idea.

We used to do anniversary banners.
Well, we did at least once anyways.

Has anyone out there done any kind of AGS history?
May be interesting. The newbies need to know about Little Willy and Andy.

Good contribution..

Andail · Tue 01/06/2004 21:32:26

yes, there is the ags dictionary (look below).
Despite its ingenuity, it passes unseen most of the time.

Also, I think the anniversaries usually get some sort of celebration thread, with ASCII cakes and other nifty ceremonials.

rodekill · Tue 01/06/2004 22:05:04

Ah. I had forgotten about the dictionary.
I just read through the entire thing. Awsome.
I think it should be linked more prominently somewhere.
Also, you may consider links at the top of the page to the individual letters.

Just a clarification:
Poobungies is actually used specifically as a negative expletive or to describe something negative. Basically a replacement for "sh*t" and "sh*tty".
For example:
"Well, that rotten milk tasted absolutely poobungies."
or
"Poobungies! I just dropped my wallet into the endless abyss!"

Happy, Close enough to your birthday, AGS!

I made an ASCII metal claw/cake, just for the almost occasion.

People ignore it only because it lacks Pesty. It's natural to not want to read something that doesn't have me in it. Sort of a subconcious thing.

Earlwood, I reckon you could stab through full plate with that 'cake' O_o

In Monkey Island, when I look in the stump, it asks me to insert a new disk, but my stolen copy from the intarweb doesn't have disks. Can someone please send me the files so I can hack them and play this great game?

I just noticed something wrong with the definition of Resolution.

Quote
RESOLUTION
AGS originally handled 420x200 respectively 640x400 pixels, and many a controversy was about which one to prefer. The newer versions of AGS handles much higher resolutions, although it requires much work and talent to actually make use of such high amount of pixels.

It should be 320x200.
