AGS BirthDay?

jetxl · Tue 24/02/2004 11:00:12

Could anyone tell me when AGS's Birthday is?
(I want to take that day off)

tempting

Yeah, you could always claim that It's part of your religion, and no one will want to stop you.

Indeed, it would be really cool to have an "AGS Birthday" but... when would it be?

The day Adventure Creator v1.00 was released?
The day the first AC game was released?
The day AC became AGS?
Or the day Rob Blanc 1 was released?

I've been here 4 years or so now, and I've got a sneaky feeling we've missed AGS' fourth birthday, I could be wrong tho. I believe it's sometime between November - January.

Today is the 3rd Anniversary of AGS!

So AGS is almost 4 1/2 years old...

We'll just have to have a very merry 5th birthday this year then! 28th September. MARK YOUR DIARIES.

Wouldn't that be the 18th there Marky-boy.

I have decided that I approve greatly of this public holiday concept.

However with so many dates to choose from (Ac, Ac's first game, becoming AGS etc.) I say we take a day for EACH of them! It's only fair, and it's not showing favouritism to any one release.

Hmm... then "AGS birthday" would be 18 September 1999... guess it's when AGS v2 was released (when AC became AGS) - Is that it?

Well, I'm up for a birthday... any reason to get drunk is fine with me.

(AC) VERSION 1.00, FEBRUARY 1997 (exact date unknown)
(AGS) VERSION 2.00, September 1999 (exact date not marked either...)

EDIT: Right-o, teh announcement of AC2 was on 18th September:
