Adventure Game Studio (AGS) first released back in 1997 is an open source game engine that facilitates creating point and click adventures in the style of LucasArts and Sierra. Many of my favorite games over the past decade have been made in this game engine and most of my most anticipated games are also made in AGS. In 1999 the first complete game made in AGS was released and to celebrate the 25th anniversary I've decided to create this topic to highlight the commercial games made in the engine available on GOG as well as to highlight the games I'd like to see released here.
One of the great things about AGS is that games made in that engine can be played through the ScummVM emulator which means you can play them on a wide variety of devices. It also means that AGS games on Steam do not require the client to run, meaning all AGS games are essentially DRM-Free.
However, it would still be nice to see as many release on GOG as possible, especially the high-profile ones. Here is a list of AGS games that have been released on GOG so far with links to their store pages:

For games that haven't been released on GOG yet, I'll only be tracking commercial games as the number of freeware games is too large and there is arguably less incentive to release them here. Most of these games do have a DRM-Free option on itch.io or Fireflower Games, however there are still some notable ones exclusive to Steam.
