I agree, that's about as AGD as AGD can get! Unaltered screen layout and they've even used a barely modified version of the sausage sprite from one of the AGD demos.

Having said that it would be good to be able to prove it's AGD in less clear cases.

[mention]Jonathan[/mention] , are there giveaways in the code that identify if a game is made with AGD? Ones that work for all or most versions?

I'll continue uploading stuff.

Looks like AGD to me, it even appears to be using some of the generic blocks from the demonstration game Diamond Geezer.

It's pretty easy to tell if a game has been created in AGD versions 4.0 to 4.7, just save out a 48K snapshot of it and try importing it into MPAGD. Graphics, map, code... everthing will be pretty much at your mercy then. I'm also assured that AGDX games can be imported, although I haven't tried it myself.
