Welcome on the homepage of Advanced Games and Strategies.

The company

Advanced Games and Strategies (short form AG&S)) is a still new company that was founded in 2004. The commercial purpose lies in the creation and distribution of computer games as shareware. At the moment the company is still a 1-man firm which consists only of myself, Ortwin Jaeger. You can find all important information about the company on the contact page.

The game

The first, and at the moment still the only, shareware game of the company is called PaddleMaster, and is a pinball simulation. By the development of the game I have thought, above all, of a realistic game feeling, as it is known from the arcade machines. Hence, it cannot be compared with the action like pinball games which are so common on the PC. If you want to know more about this pinball game, you can read here the description.

New version

Since the 9/01/2007 there is also the new version 1.5 of the game available which has a lot of improvements compared with the version 1.0:

The control of the paddles were improved and the difference between a normal and a quick stroke was clearly increased. Thereby the ball can now be controled much better.
All maps were reworked and improved, as well as difficult places were simplified. Now the maps can be played and finished faster and easier than before.
With the option 'Easy game' the maps can now be played faster and easier, because the scoring points are no obstacles for the ball anymore.
The window frame is now hidden during the gameplay, so that the whole screen can be used for playing.
The game supports now the resolutions '800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x1024'.
The program uses now a minimum Framerate of 74 FPS which is independent from the frequency of the monitor. With it smooth gameplay is now also be possible on LCD monitors.
