That's exactly what I'm saying. It had a great deal of potential if only it
had been better handled. But even if it had been the manual wasn't exactly
up to date, so there was another problem right there. And now if you go over
to their forums you find they've become nothing more than a den of spam bots
and things like that.

Hi Bryan,
Yeah, the AGM definitely was a major disappointment for all involved. It
would have been nice to be able to whip up a quick copy of Frogs and
Flies, Adventure, whatever using a tool like that, but being a student
project it had no commercial funding or dedicated people to maintain it.
They didn't even release it as open source so the community could have
updated it ourselves. So it was pretty much a big waste of time and energy
downloading it. Too bad because it actually did have a good design
concept, and initially sounded very promising.

I'd love to see an audio version of Berzerk or Adventure or even Frogs
and Flies, all games for the Atari 2600. In fact those were three
projects I'd planned to attempt using the Audio Game Maker when it was
released two years ago, but let's not even get started on what a fiasco
that turned out to be. It had potential certainly, I'm not arguing that,
but the bugs that were left unsquashed made it all but impossible to get
the most out of the program. And it didn't help that the program was a
student project for a gaming class and once the semester was over the
project was pretty much scrapped once there was something for us to
download.
Needless to say though I did attempt to create both Frogs and Flies and
Adventure, with a very few relatively modern touches thrown in (namely a
few additional enemies and hazzards), I was able to get neither the
dragons nor the frogs, flies and crocodiles to behave properly. Heck, I
couldn't even make the player behave properly.
