Well, what I mean is that there is no need for competition, or just plainly more than one such E-Zine for a community such as ours. It doesn't matter whether it is A, or AGDZine, or Vel's E-Zine, I just believe we want to see people from all E-Zines put their best effort and do the best AGS one we have seen.

Workers of the world, unite!

Then why are we all making our own little games instead instead of working together on one huge adventure?

Maybe the saying (I don't know if you use it in English) "too many chefs spoil the soup" is true.

I likes it so far

Will look at more as a browse through the articles so i cant say much at the moment, but am enjoying what i've seen so far.

True, but I think there is quite a practical difference. After all, we all have separate ideas for games, but does it hurt one's individual need to express himself if his review of P:DA from AGDZine and someone else's review of Larry Vales from A come together?

Uharghemhugm..

I just dropped in to say the site has been updated...And if all goes well should continue to be updated no less then once a week. Some weeks less some weeks more it all depends.

Scumm: Sure, IG has gotten enough exsposure as it is...

Scummbuddy · Tue 22/07/2003 01:45:37

You wanna go ahead and put a link to it in your footer...

It's 'too many cooks spoil the broth' in English, but it means exactly the same thing, since broth is soup...

You should put a link for download in the Moose Wars review. The one in the AGS games section no longer works...

Sylpher · Tue 22/07/2003 03:00:04

That is because Agagames.com is down..which is out of my control. Aga as far as I know is doing all he can to get it back up.

AGA · Tue 22/07/2003 03:00:39

That be because he's hosted on agagames.com, which be slightly dead temporarily.

Trapezoid · Tue 22/07/2003 03:19:58

Ah. Didn't realize, the link just takes me to http://host16.ipowerweb.com/suspended.billing/

AGA · Tue 22/07/2003 03:26:24

Yeah, bastards claim I haven't paid my bill, even though my card got billed last Thursday. I have emailled them, but no reply yet...

MillsJROSS · Wed 23/07/2003 05:26:26

At any rate, I have the game, so if you'd like to have it, I'm sure you could always PM me and I would be happy to send it via e-mail, after you give me your address. Or, if I'm on-line I could DCC it on IRC or send it through AIM.

Thanks again guys.

Another update tonight...enjoy.

Nice, nice! I think this is the best AGS e-zine around.
However, I have to make a slight correction. Moose Wars was not the first non-adventure game made with AGS. I think I released at least two, maybe three, non-adventures before Moose Wars and even before that we had that old dart game by Scid (at least I think it was by Scid).
Well, still a nice non-adventure game, but not the first.

I require an interview with Butcher, and I don't care what it takes to make him talk!

Igor · Thu 24/07/2003 17:59:41

Great web site! It's easy to navigate and that Daisy interview made my day.

Ghormak · Thu 24/07/2003 20:08:56

Speaking of Moose Wars, agagames.com is back up. You can download the game from http://www.agagames.com/ghormak/moose15.zip
