Anniversary Giveaway

Steve Ince · 02-01-2011, 08:38 AM

Today is the 18th anniversary of the day I started work in the games industry when I joined Revolution Software. I'm marking the event by making my arcade adventure, Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso, completely free to download and play.

Many thanks to all those who've taken an interest in my work over the years.

Congratulations Steve for these 18 brilliant years! Hope to see more of you the next coming 18 years, and even further!

Steve Ince · 02-01-2011, 09:13 AM

Thanks, Isak. My brain may melt before then.

OMG! Steve Ince!

The first adventure game I played was Broken sword 2 !
Then Lure of the temptress, then I couldn't stop !

If it's a third person adventure game I gotta have it!
And it all started with BS...

Here is something I made to remind myself of the good old days. A small gift from a big fan:

Already downloaded the game!

Happy anniversary! And many more games!

It looks awesome.

Thanks for all the kind messages. They are why I like to visit Adventure Gamers - it's greet to connect with people who like the kind of thing I do for a living.

Those pictures are interesting. Although the relative sizes are a little off, they are certainly clearly recognisable.

I'm afraid that Sapphire Claw is on hold for the time being, but I'm currently involved in another adventure project which will be announced later this year.

Yay! Downloading now!

Congrats on the anniversary, Steve!

Steve Ince · 02-01-2011, 11:36 PM

Thanks, I'm pleased you like the free download.

Thanks for 18 years of great games Steve!

Steve Ince · 02-02-2011, 07:18 AM

My pleasure.

rayvio · 02-02-2011, 08:14 AM

congratulations and many thanks for the free game, and of course for all the others you've helped deliver to us in the past. Beneath A Steel Sky is still one of my all time favourites
