Download available now of the first issue of "Ego".

An adventure game magazine, the first issue is dedicated to the absolute awesome series Quest for Glory and includes interviews with Lori Cole, the first lady of Gloriania. Also, AGD2 talks to us about QFG2 VGA and some other stuff. Oh, there's some stuff in there about some other games too. Enjoy!

Not bad, Klitos. Are you planning to make this a competitor of The Inventory?

Klytos · #3 Post by **Klytos** » Sun Oct 03, 2004 6:13 am

Nope, Inventory is much better mag, I just wanted to do something different. Ego is more aimed at interviews and is basically stuff that we simply wanna see. Besides, the markets big enough for 2 magazines I think.

I have a feeling I've read something like that before. Is all the text original?

Klytos · #6 Post by **Klytos** » Sun Oct 03, 2004 12:03 pm

Yep, all the text is original, and all the interviews are new. The only thing taken from somewhere else are some of the discriptions of the fan-games, they're lifted from the relevant websites with permission.

Great mag, it's good to see another mag similar to the inventory (but far, far better, I assure you

1EyedParrot, can you shrink your avator to 1/4 size? It's making the left column huge.

I second that request. I can take care of it for you if you don't see this. I'll remove it at the end of the day if it's still there. Thanks.

That's not his avatar, I made that with my barehands. I suggest using it as a signature, and with that conversation section we had earlier.

Is this project a flop or is there going to be a sequel. (another issue)

I don't see where it could go from here. Well after the other series are covered it'll end up keeping current and would just be slow. Altough it's a very good attempt and proffesional looking I just can't see where it would go.This was a great magazine but it keeps you away from the finer things in life such as getting a move on with fan games which is always good

well Ima go.

There's plenty of places it could go from here. Just cause we've covered the QFG series doesn't mean there isn't any untapped areas left. For starters the next issue is going to cover some non-sierra, non-lucas games of the 80's and 90's.

Thanks for the nice comments btw, though I don't agree that it's professional looking, I think it's very crap in a lot of areas. Still......

you could do Broken Sword for me as my Gameboy SP just crapped out on me and I need to buy a new charger. Also I need to wait till that's good till I continue playing #2 that I got. I can't think of any other games really although I know there is tons......*rummaged*..... I just noticed all other adventure games I own are Sierra or luca made.

OH I GOT IT! Shenmue for dreamcast. It was the most realistic game I ever played blowing games like the sims 2 out of the water. For those of you who don't know the game (all of you) the game is about an 18 year old named Ryo Hazuki who comes home in yokohoma on december 1st 1986 and witness his father being killed by a chineese man asking about the Phoenix (SP) mirror. After this incident Ryo travels all around this japanese town looking for clues about this character and eventually finds his plot and chases after him. At the end of Shenmue 1 which is only chapter 1 of 16 he is leaving on a boat bound for houng kong and arrives there march....26th? 1987. And thus the second game (chapter 2-6) begins. It's a great adventure game and the sequal was released on X box along with an overview of the first one. Anyone with a Dreamcast or X-box must buy these games and help fund Shenmue3. The sequal is looking unlikely because the systems it appears on don't do so well.

I'd be willing to lend a hand in the graphics department and content, I have experience in making on-line mags.
