The AGS Awards 2003 - Results

The party's over, and the results for this year's AGS Awards – the biggest awards ceremony for Adventure Game Studio games – are in. Leading the field was Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw, with 5 Days a Stranger, but there was some stiff competition from both Apprentice and The Adventures of Fatman. There was also a special lifetime achievement award for Chris Jones, and even a couple of awards for our very own David Gilbert!

This was an extremely successful awards ceremony, as demonstrated by the large number of spectators present. Thanks must go particularly to DGMacphee, who orchestrated the event so ably.

For those of you who would rather read the log of the awards, you can find it here, but those who just want the results should read on...
