The AGS Bake Sale is now open for business.

What is the AGS Bake Sale, I hear you ask?


Well, some wonderful people over at AGS (Adeventure Game Studio) decided to get together, and raise money for charity.  Child's Play, to be exact.
Child's Play is a charity that helps sick children in hospital, with the use of video games and play.  It improves the quality of lives for these children.

AGS wants to raise money for this charity.  Thus, the AGS Bake Sale was borne.  The sale comprises of 14 games - most, but not all, are adventure games.  It's a Pay-What-You-Want event.  YOU decide how much you want to pay.  Then you just type in that amount, and in return, you get 14 wonderful games.  All proceeds from the sale go to Child's Play.

The sale ends on 29 February 2012.

So what games do you get?

Here's a list of the games involved, as well as the generous people who gave their time and skills freely, in order to create the games. Just click on the game title to find out more about it.

An amazing idea, going to a great cause! Love it! More sites should hold events like this.

So far, they've raised over $3000, and sold over 800 bundles.  

That's brilliant to hear!

Just a reminder that this bundle is still for sale.  It ends on 29 February, so buy it now, while you still can.  

Remember, you pay what you want... you get a whopping 14 games in return.  And in addition, you're contributing to a worthwhile cause.  It's a win-win situation.

Final figures are in.  


They sold a whopping 1074 bundles, raising a grand total of $4191.98 (£2676.16)
