During his first years, Joseph DiPerla was mostly known for making a list of suggestions and posting it on the boards on the [[AC]]/[[AGS]] website or e-mailing [[Chris Jones]] with his new idea's. This reputation has stuck with him until this day unfortunatly. He is trying to make the [[AGS]] Community see otherwise.

This reputation has stuck with him until this day unfortunatly. He is trying to make the [[AGS]] Community see otherwise.


As the years passed, He grew more mature and eventually became popular and began a relationship with many members in the community which remained however, strictly platonic. He most notably remembers [[CJ]], [[m0ds]], [[Helm]] and a few others from back in the day.

When he discovered AGS, he wasn't as impressed as he was with the non-existent SCRAMM. He anxiously awaited for the engine to be released so that he can work on his project of Zak McKracken2/DOTT 3 crossover game.
Joseph always admired the [[LucasArts]] games and [[Sierra]] games. His favorites, in order, were:
# Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders
# Day of the Tentacle
# Maniac Mansion
# Police Quest 2
# Police Quest 3
# Police Quest 1
# Space Quest 1
# Space Quest 5
# Space Quest 6
# Flight of the Amazon Queen.


When he finally found a team, he wanted to release a demo of the game. The first demo was made in AGS, realizing that SCRAMM or GLUMOL would not be released within a long time from then. His demo consisted of one room, badly drawn. More a sketch really. And a Zak character with only one frame and one loop. He decided it wasn't enough for him to release the Demo. Within time, he never heard from any of his team members again. He then dropped the project entirely.
Adventure games were not his only love of Video Games. He also loved playing Text Adventure games such as Infocom's Arthur: Quest for Excalibur and Questprobe's Spider-Man.

Noone ever has though. With time he keeps updating his template and leaving it to be available for the community to use when they please. His two major Simpsons games in the works are: "Springfield Woes", which is a grand adventure; and his other, "Where's Maggie?", which will be much like "Maniac Mansion" and "Day of the Tentacle".
