A look into AGS Award Winners

Every now and then there's an independent adventure appearing on this blog, the latest one being The McCarthy Chronicles, and a good percentage is done using the same engine: Adventure Game Studio. Maybe it's because it's easy to use, maybe it's because it's one of the most complete suites for this kind of games, or maybe it's just because it has one of the biggest communities, but it's obvious that the engine gathers a great number of them, in general.

On the official webpage we can find most of these adventures, including their download links and any extra information needed to run them. You can add many filters to the search so you nail your search matching your criteria. To do so, just go to the "games" section. However, every game is listed there. You can, of course, limit the games by overall rating, but there's something even better. The Award Winning games.

There, you'll be able to find all those games that actually won awards in different competitions. Any of them will give you at least a good afternoon, or at least most of them. Of course, the list may not contain all the good games, but at least you can be sure that the ones included are actually excellent (and I'm telling you, some of them have professional quality).

So, next time you're bored, you know what to do, adventurer. Or, of course, you could as well just start your own.
