Updated the fact list part "At 2010-09-28 the AGS database contains 1188 entries" from 1192 to 1188.

Because these entries are no ags game entries:

entry 84= is only an entry to notify about the RON games serie
entry 1123 = only a notification for the "enter the story" serie [1201 & 1202]
entry 1299 = is only a short animation, not an ags game
entrie 1334 = is a a gamemaker file [.gmk], so no ags game

Thanx Gilbet

OK, I thought "Alles Euro/Everything Euro" [compiled/released 2000-02-24] was the 1st ever ags game but now I found this:

Stickmen v1.0 by DGMacpee has been compiled in 2000-01 5:45 [short games]
Ultimerr by DCMacPee has been compiled in 2000-01-01 5:02 [short games]

So, can someone validate what the real 1st AGS game is?

@Arjon:
I think I've the orginial installed archived somewhere, I'll take a look.

Being the "real" 1st evah AGS game you *must* upload that version
No really, much appreciated if I can get your original version!

There're some factual errors about these facts though. It's common knowledge that Lassi Quest was the 1st ever made game (I couldn't remember whether it was still in AC era or AGS, but if it was AGS, then there was no single game compiled with AC) but none of the 'first xxx game' categories here listed it.

I know Lassi Quest is know as 1st ags game ever, but:

Alles Euro/Everything Euro [Original version] by abstauber has been compiled in 2000-02
Lassi Quest 1 [Original version] by Visy has been compiled in 2000-12

Does that mean that I do not have the 'real' original version?

EDIT:
Abstauber already proofed who was first, hadn't read that post when posting this one...
Anyway, the compile dates mentioned in this post "might" be a proof too

According to its Database Entry it's only 423 Kb (433, 152 bytes).

Yes, archived it's 433kb.
1.53mb = unpacked.
All size-facts are "unpacked facts"

@ProgZmax:
You're right!
Thanx!

Thanx Gord10

You read the whole list?  :o
Geek!

Yay! Can we add "First geek to read the whole list" to the list?

Done 

Hey Arjon,

I'd just like to mention that I've released "Alles Euro" on Feb 24th 2000
The development started in December 1999 and I'm also pretty sure I've released a demo back then.
I even remember that CJ found it "pretty impressive", hehe.
</being show-off>

Ah, I only have the "2008 re-release version". Changed the list now.
Alles Euro is now the first released/compiled game [any category & first released/compiled short game ever 

Hey, do you have a copy of the original version? I'd really like to have that one for my collection

In my list the games are without english translation.
Games having English + other languages could indeed be added but I can't search for that easily...

First game with windows executable: I found this one but i'm not sure if that's the first windows game:
First game using Winsetup.exe - Island Quest [demo] - by OneThinkingGal and ._. - 2002-02.

Fix the predating error btw, thanx

If something is incorrect, let me know

EDIT:
And a brand new AGS fact:
First geek ever that read this whole list: Radiant  

Ah, thanx Gilbet

Roommake.

So AGS 1.0 creates games with the winsetup.exe insteat of setup.bat?

What was the 1st version of the AGS engine that compiled win games in stead of dos games?

[I know v2.4 compiles winsetup.exe]

Thanx

Thanc Corby

@Blake00:

Your confusing that demo with this one, Heroine's Quest Demo ?

As Radiant is, I'm looking too for that demo b.t.w.... Anyone?

The find = GregJazz/Herculean Effort Productions
Another is probably Another Way Out... ?

I've played the games and the games/documentation didn't reveal any of the authors names.
I'll dig a bit deeper.

Thanx Leon.
Another is indeed Another Way Out. I didn't wrote it down properly, was a quick post.

So, maybe you know this too:
Is this one the demo and the OROW version the full version? [deno: 2003, orow version: 2005]

Thanx for helping out!

Balloon Face is by Fuzzpilz...a greatly enjoyable game

Ah, thanx Babar!

[Another Way Out - ??]

These were the entries of OROW 2, but I can't find the author names of 4 of them:

Alone in the Night - AJA
Anna - Vince Twelve
Another Way Out - ??
Kong over Baghdad - Edmundito
Balloon Face - Fuzzpilz
Dance 'Til You Drop - ProgZmax
Gladiator Quest - helm
Hiyah - ??
In Limbo - ??
I Think We Got Lost - Gord10
Sammy Sperm - Grundislav
Sheet - The Art of Art - Largopredator [hedgefield]
The Find- GregJazz/Herculean Effort Productions

Second thing: I can't find the compo results...
I only know this: "best puzzles -> ballon face"

Can someone help me out with the names and the results please?
