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.
