The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:

1 Cup	Not serious entertainment
2 Cups	A reasonable game, worth a try
3 Cups	A good game, worth playing
4 Cups	A great game, well worth your time
5 Cups	An outstanding, must-play game!

Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you think your game has been underrated!

(Why has my game been rated 1 cup?)

Close window

If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just getting started!

Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

AGS Awards Nominations

Nominated, Best Scripting in an AGS Game 2001

The game was okay for an early AGS game but overall it wasn't too enjoyable. Some of the puzzles didn't make sense, but the game did have its moments here and there. I couldn't get far without a walkthrough.

I don't recommend this game at all and I actually find it a little suspicious that it is as well rated as it is. I was incredibly disappointed with the quality of this game. The graphics are not great, the story is mediocre, the attempts at humor are poor and even slightly annoying, and the game is chock full of bugs. (The game crashed every 5 to 10 minutes when I played it. It caused my computer to freeze several times as well.) Overall the game was a waste of time.

Best game I've played in years. I'd love to see moe from this guy!

It's a well-made game and is the reason i ever came to AGS!! It has complicated puzzles and without the walkthrough, I'ld never have finished it. ANd by the way, you're supposed to have the branch in your inventory if you haven't realised(this is to the person by the name of 'someone').

This is one hell of a game! FANTASTIC puzzles, great humor ("Why is that milk here?" - "It expired!" HAHAHAHHAHAHA). Spyros all da way!!

I find this game very interesting. Cool graphics and lots of animation :). But some of the puzzles were very unlogic :(. And what is that "Beta" supposed to mean?

2003-12-13 10:45:25 by Albino ElNegro

This is a real classic!

there's no branch in the cave like it says there is in the walkthrough
