Hooray! Automation!

Which PC Gamer?

LimpingFish · Fri 02/03/2007 22:28:43

Oh, sorry, I should have said.

It's the current UK issue....this one --->

LimpingFish, Boyd told me that Linus Bruckman had a small writeup in the January issue of the UK PC Gamer. Would you, or anyone else here possibly have the issue and a scanner?

It did, and I did have that issue, but I have an incredibly small house, so old issues go in the trash. Sorry.

EDIT: Hold the phone! I forgot that this month's recyclable trash collection is still pending! With a little luck...

EDIT: Man, it's really raining! But...SUCCESS! Scanning now...

EDIT: Yay!

Yay! Thanks, Mr. Fish!

PC Gamer really seem to give ridiculously high system requirement information with AGS games...

Akatosh · Sun 04/03/2007 10:33:20

Linus Bruckmann has ridiculously high system requirements, that's all.

InCreator · Sun 04/03/2007 11:01:21

I guess it's quite cool. But aren't those games sold? I mean, you pay for the magazine, right? And get a DVD, which is included in the price?

Akatosh · Sun 04/03/2007 11:58:49

They often put Freeware on their CD/DVD... I guess it's mainly as a 'space-filler', or one of them is one of us (a member of the AGS community)... anyway, I guess all of us include a link to the AGS website in their games, so this will at least help AGS getting even more popular.

The Ivy · Sun 04/03/2007 15:59:31

Wow, that's pretty cool! Thanks for pointing this out, Akatosh. Spooks seems to be enjoying considerable fame in German and Czech gaming circles. I have no idea why this is, but hey, I'll take it.

Akatosh · Sun 04/03/2007 16:31:43

I guess because it's simply, well, funny. Even for Germans, and you know what they say about German humor (lies). Congratulations, anyway.

well no, i've read more issues of PC Gamer with other AGS games in and they always put high system specs, they put 1.5GHz for The Shivah too.

blender81 · Sun 04/03/2007 22:16:42

FYI....

The February issue of PC Zone included Ben Jordan Case 5 and my own Pilot Light in the Freeware section of their magazine. Check it out!

Ah, good good. I read this myself, but didn't have access to a scanner. Thanks.

MrColossal · Sun 04/03/2007 23:30:47

Hooray, I loved Pilot Light, I also quite love your hl mods and I believe you should make more games...

That is an order.

m0ds · Mon 05/03/2007 12:30:39

Congratulations!!

Akatosh · Tue 06/03/2007 15:45:33

So *this* is where the thread went. I was starting to wonder... ah, anyway. Fits better here.
