Incidentally, you accept your game being underground, but this forum subsection used to be called simply "AG Underground", and the "Amateur" part was added because some were complaining that sounded too negative (like, I don't know, illegal or with a disturbing subject matter).[/QUOTE]

LOL that's funny.

I checked in babylon dictionary the two words:

Amature (double meaning) :
1. not proffesional (that's ok)
2. novice (beginner, inexperienced person, trainee)

Underground:
n. region beneath the ground's surface; secret organization fighting occupational forces or an established government; (British) subway, underground train system; subterranean passage
adj. subterranean, below the surface of the ground; to be used below the surface of the ground; clandestine, conspiratorial
adv. not openly, in a clandestine manner; below the surface of the ground

I don't think either should be in the title, cuz amature implies novice, and underground implies hidden or secret.
Maybe it should be called "Home-Made Adventure Games" or "Non-company
Adventue Games"?
Or maybe someone else has a better title...

BTW did anyone try out the game?
