About

You are the crime fighter for the city of Shadowlawn. Just when you're complaining about how dull things have been, a supervillain named Toxicman is created from a botched act of corporate sabotage. It is up to you, then, to tear yourself away from food long enough to save the city from certain destruction.

This was the first commercial game to be made with AGS, and is now available as a special edition.

The download links above are for the previously released "Free" version (no voices).

The voiced version can currently still be purchased from Steam:

AGS Panel Rating

The Adventures of Fatman is a fun, complete adventure game with a lot to offer fans of the genre as long as they are willing to look past the sometimes irritating voice-overs. Now that it is free there's even more reason to play it if you haven't yet!

The best thing about it is the humor, it's fantastic. Some puzzles felt unlogical and I had to use a walktrough to complete it. ...but I completed it and enjoyed the experience. Good work!

This game was good, with some interesting gameplay. Though it unfortunately illustrates the disillusion of a lot of AGSers (commercial).


By Kingtom0001 on 26 May 2006

Superb game! Absolutely superb! Nice graphics, nice storyline, absolutely amazing-really goes to show people just what AGS is truly capable of. Would you consider releasing the source code for people to look at, Ionias?
