Current Release (Beta-3) Dec 20, 2006
DemoQuest is now compliant with the V2.72 script language and the new String type.   The MiniGame module has been refined using some of the new V2.72 features and has been included with this release.  Note:  This version of MiniGame is not compatiable with previous versions so if you intend to play around with any of the mini games make sure you get a fresh copy from the links below.
