The author of Chmelnica and Bill DeBill also made another game called Dinky Island, but it doesn't look like it has anything to do with the Monkey Island series. I am not even sure this one is an AGS game, though it seems probable. Does anyone have this? (Or know if it is an AGS game at all?)

And does anyone have The Fan Game: The Goonies by Daniele Spadoni?

I'm rereading TLOTR, so my first guess was SHIRE.

Well done for a horror game. Honestly, I had to try a few things without knowing why beforehand

The September Mags 2003 featured a game called Dragonscale, which is on the archive, but not in the database. This is a short game set in a future which looks pretty much like our times, and perhaps involving a dragon. The theme was "Mythological Beast".

It looks like one of Daniele Spadoni's Back to the Future fangames is not in the database, but it is on the archive. This is the one similar to the movie.

And with Adultsqualman returning, why not post the link to his production from his younger days. It's on the archive again: A Cup of Coffee is worth 1000 Bathroom Trips This may require an older pc or some tinkering before it will run. And it's made by a kid, so be warned. 

From ITCH comes
cosmo's trinket hunt
that could be categorized as joke since it lasts one click only

Joke indeed. Looks nice, but a bit disappointing.

From the author of The Beekeper comes 2 little game about Holmes' brother Mycroft
MYCROFT HOLMES SIMULATOR 1895
MYCROFT HOLMES SIMULATOR 1895 ExEd

This is the same game, but with a bit more features in the expanded edition. Absolutely delightful and funny, albeit a sort of celebration of pointlessness at the same time. I was having a good time, achieving very little. 

Purpose : Retired
stating from the itch page, it's a short P&C adv, to be finished in few minutes

This is a really nice, "slow" game about a retired cop. Good-looking pixel art, too.

Zombie Train Beyond Earth: Episode 2
(the episode 1 is done with another engine)

I checked out episode 1 (made with GameMaker Studio), and it was really cool. Making a flipped animation? Nope, just let the guy moonwalk (Space, you know).   Episode 2 is well made, but I didn't like the idea that much. And I can't reveal it without spoiling it.

It's not a unique ability (you can do it in Minecraft and a few other games), but it's a bonus. Someone created a ray-tracing program in-game, to run a vaguely Doom-like game ^^
I got Factorio yesterday and have started to familiarize myself with what is, essentially, a signar-driven conveyor belt simulator.

Story is charming, although unrealistic; you lose your spaceship on impact, are the sole survivor, and will go on to build a massive and high-tech base, because you have an IQ of 400.

Any of you have played it?

Well, welcome back! Time machines really do exist, they just work differently than in the movies.  And while I have you here - I guess you don't have your old games anymore? Warrior of Might is on the list of "lost games" that our archivists are looking for, and possibly others, too.

Results are in. RootBound takes the win.

Thanks for the entries and votes, everyone.

RB, I'll be in touch soon about choosing a theme for December, but feel free to start thinking about it until then.

Hello everyone.

I was an active AGS member back around 2002 as the possibly now forgotten famously annoying Squalman. I got my start with AGS and now I work in the industry currently at a AAA game publisher with 3 AAA credits under my belt.

What brought me back here was between my professional work and the small indie game dev studio I helped form, we were having conversations of how we got into gaming and I always came back to AGS as my start. I looked up and just happened to find the actual first project I released here as a kid: A cup of coffee is worth a thousand bathroom breaks. It still exists, that blew me away. I can still find my old posts on the forum. It's a little time capsule that is dear to me.

I'm all grown up now, I have my own kids half way to how old I was then. I'm a software engineering manager and architect. So much of that started here.
