- THIRD ANNUAL GRAPHICS ADVENTURE GAME DESIGN CONTEST
-
- PLANO, TX -- DC Software announces the third annual contest for the
- best computer graphics adventure game developed using the Graphics
- Adventure Game Builder (DCGAMES).
-
- The Graphics Adventure Game Builder is a computer program to help
- you create your own graphics adventure games with no programming
- experience with a minimum amount of time and effort on PC Compatible
- computers running the MS-DOS operating system.
-
- The winner of the Third Annual Graphics Adventure Game Design Contest
- will receive a grand price of $100. Additional prices may be granted
- for special categories at the judges options. The game's author(s)
- will retain all rights to their games. If more than two games tie for
- first place, an additional judge will be asked to rank the tied games.
-
- The purpose of this contest is to encourage people to develop adventure
- games and share them with other adventure game players. Authors need
- not be registered users of the Graphics Adventure Game Builder system.
-
- CONTEST RULES
-
- Eligible entries must be designed with the Graphics Adventure Game
- Builder system. Contest entries must be postmarked by July 20th,
