My favorite games ever!

Thank you, Lori Ann Cole for creating this amazing series. Of all the adventure games out there, the "Quest For Glory" games are my favorite. They are the perfect combination of puzzle-solving, great characters, family friendliness, humor, a diversity of settings and characters, everything. While all series' of games are unique in some ways, the "Quest For Glory" series is probably the most unique of all adventure games. You can play as either a fighter, a wizard, or a thief, and in later games you can play as a paladin. The different character classes have different solutions to some puzzles, which means the "Quest For Glory" series is like 3 or 4 games in one. You can fight monsters and build up character stats, a rarity in adventure games. While in most adventure games, most non-protagonist characters are just people you see once or twice and maybe get one or 2 things from them and never see them again, in "Quest For Glory," you can talk to characters about a variety of things. So you can real get a feel as to what each of these people are like. Also, the "Quest For Glory" series treats your character like a real human, which means he has to sleep and eat every day. The character can starve to death or die of exhaustion. Also, time passes like real time in this game. Time doesn't just pass when you do things like in most adventure games, time passes even when you do nothing. I don't know of any other games besides "King's Quest 4" that are like this. Lastly, I think "Quest For Glory" has the BEST humor out of all games. It's not as silly and dependent on humor as "Space Quest" or "Leisure Suit Larry," but I think "Quest For Glory" has better humor than those other 2 series (both of which I like). And IMO all of the games are great. Most other series of games have 1 or 2 weak ones. Not "Quest For Glory." All 5 games are awesome. I just can't say enough about these games. If you love adventure games, buy this package.

A hero is wanted

One of the best mixes of poind-and-click adventure and RPG. Different player classes and different ways of solving situations. RPG-like stats, with combat and beautiful story and amazing characters. Will give 4 stars only because of the 5-th installment. nobody needed the 3D at the time ;)

Quest for Awesome

To start off, Sierra games are awesome. They had a prime when they hid the Quest games. This is one of the first games I played for my PC. The music, effects and overall story sucked me right in. This is a gem!

Wonderful, Funny, Addictive

Of all of the Sierra "Quest" games, QfG (or "Hero's Quest" as it was originally named) stood out. It offered the standard screen-based adventure system, but was the first to roll in RPG elements like combat and stats. You also got to choose your class, instead of being issued a single option for completing the game, you were allowed to choose between Fighter, Magic-User, and Thief. And the solutions to the puzzles changed with each character: A thief might have to climb up to retrieve an object whereas a magic user would fetch-spell the item down. But my fondest memory of the series was the absurdist humor. The writers were fans of Monty Python and the Marx Brothers, as well as classic films, and it showed. For example, you might find yourself having drinks with characters from Casablanca in The Dead Parrot Bar. Or have your trek through the forest interrupted by Groucho Marx strutting by. The maniacal attention to detail will actually have you seeking out weird ways to kill your character in the game, or seeing just how many different conversation trees the Coles ended up writing. Not to say that the game offered only zany humor and hack-and-slash monster-killing, it also could also offer a pixelated, VGA tug at the heartstrings. Restoring hope to a woman turned into a tree, putting a drowned soul to rest, or returning a cursed vampire to life to be with her parents... there are some moments in these games that are quite touching. What this adds up to is a solid five games (the third one was a little bit on the dry side, but still a Good Old Game) with great writing and continuity, and a must-have for anyone who enjoys RPG adventure games and wants to see where it all started.
