DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CLASSIC EDITION AND THE MASTER'S EDITION OF AGT
The "Classic Edition" (i.e., the normal/old/regular version) of AGT is very
simple to use and can be used by programming novices or even by
non-programmer's to create very professional text adventures similar to those
from firms like Infocom. Versions of the "Classic Edition" are available for
IBM, Macintosh, Atari ST and Amiga computers and games created on any of these
computers can be re-compiled and played on any of the other computers. The
Classic Edition is still supported and available from Softworks as Shareware
for only $20 (or $40 including a 223 page printed manual with lots and lots of
detailed examples).
The "Master's Edition" contains all the features and capabilities of the
"Classic Edition" plus a whole lot more. It is totally compatible with the
Classic Edition and games originally developed for the Classic Edition can be
easily converted to and used with the Master's Edition. The Master's Edition
is available only for IBM (or compatible) computers. The Master's Edition is
aimed at the more sophisticated and experienced programmer/game designer. The
Master's Edition allows you to create games that are approximately twice as
large as those possible using the Classic Edition. Plus, your games can have
optional graphic illustrations, sound effects, music, "pop-up" hints, unique
fonts (EGA or VGA screens only), and a customizeable "look-and-feel" user
interface including a menu-driven player input option.
The Master's Edition is available from Softworks for only $50. This price
includes the cost of six ZIPped disks with over 5 megabytes of goodies
including complete documentation on disk, a bunch of game creation utilities,
several brand new sample games including the complete AGT source code to
HUMONGOUS CAVE (believed to be the largest text adventure game available on
any microcomputer). The Master's Edition package also includes the complete
AGT source code to the game you are currently playing with all of its related
files.
Which version is right for you? If you are a "power" gamer/programmer and
know that you can use (or need) the full power of the Master's Edition, then
by all means -- get the Master's Edition. If you have less experience with
programming or game design, then you should probably start with the Classic
Edition. If you select the Classic Edition, you can always upgrade later when
you need the full power of the Master's Edition -- for a special "registered
AGT user" upgrade price of only $35.
