*[http://www.bigbluecup.com/games.php?action=detail&id=204 Melrin: The disciple ordeal] The Melrin games are notable for their graphics.

MAGS, the Monthly AGS competition, is an activity on the AGS forum which has game creators attempt to create a short game over the course of one month. The challenge is that the game has to follow a series of restrictions as to length, art and content. At the end of the month, the games are voted on and the creator of the best game wins the opportunity to choose the restrictions for the next month. These games are usually very short and simple, and vary wildly as to art quality.
