There is no truth to the rumor that panelists are chosen by competing in inter-species gladiatorial contests...yet. ¬¬

You mean it's only humans involved at this stage?

Adeel - thanks for the mention mate, but I'm pretty sure demos don't get rated by the panel at all, just full games?

[The Young Gabriel King Chronicles]

Thanks Sunny - I'll have a look, it doesn't look quite right to me though - I seem to remember very small sprites in a room that seemed pretty big as a result (a bit like in The Young Gabriel King Chronicles) - I just can't quite remember.

I remember an old AGS-made game - it was a one-room game, but whether it was for OROW or not I can't remember - I think you were trapped in a pit / cavern of some kind, you played an archaeologist.  I would like to find it again because it was one of the cleverest uses of the one-room game idea that I've ever played... anyone got an idea what the name is?  Can't remember how old it is, I'm guessing at the very least 6 years old.

I thought that pick of the month was about games made in the month

Me too!

Will try to find an older under-appreciated title to give some love to.

Phantom of the Operetta?

If it had been retired wizards I'd have said

, but for pirates and OSD? 

One way to eliminate the whole problem is to just implement a voice-command "interface". Just tell the game what you want to do, hehe!

Why not go the whole way and link it to thought commands?

Pleurghburg: Dark Ages?

Sim City 1975?

Eye of the Beholder?

Gargoyle Heads: Upside Down Spider Attack! :shocked:

I did quite like that they did with Fate of Atlantis (and perhaps others, but that's the game I really noticed) - in that when you were in the dark for instance, you had different verbs reflecting the fact that you couldn't see things very well


Stupot - I think you have a point, but I think from a developer's point of view it's also down to not having thousands of generic responses / having to write multitudinous responses for every mad possible combination of actions and objects that the player might try.   

Firstly, I agree with Stupot - great title!
Secondly, I also used to read Interzone - and have had a story rejected by them!  Many years ago...
Thirdly - wow, lovely graphical style.

This looks really terrific.  8-)

Mine is Captain Disaster transporting and waving, redrawn in EGA by AGS member JayeJaye.

Dink was an isometric view (weird game! ) but I don't think that's it... Divinity maybe?  (Though that might have been released quite a bit later, not sure.)

Congrats on the release Adeel!
