Quest for Glory 1-5

These were great. Just the right combination of stat play and adventure game to hit the proverbial spot. The game had a ton of adventure and a fantastic sense of humor. Glory 2 and 4 were my favorites. Glory 3 is a little short, and 5 was a bit rushed, though it had a suitably epic conclusion. Warning about 2 - it is VERY difficult to play this without the manual, at least until you get the map and compass.

I can't tell you how many times I've played every single one of these games. They are long-standing favorites!!

This is a part of my childhood, these are games that are amazing to me even to this day. They perfectly couple classic hero storytelling with excellent wit, humor, and imagination. The games are a continuing epic of this one Hero who grows more and more as he helps people across a wide and vast scope of lands. I have never played a game since that has been so dedicated to ensuring your character remained intact throughout a set of sequels. Buy it, play it. Love it. Love the music, which still makes me feel like a hero on an adventure. Love the characters, who are still memorable and unforgettable to me. And love the love that was put in these games.

All the games in the series offer their own unique settings including a Translyvanian style land with vampires and other undead monsters as well as a thousand and a night inspired arabic land. Each of the classes in the game offer you different approaches to your goal of becoming a hero, for example as a warrior you will be able to more easily break down doors as well as swing more deadly swords and such with ease while a thief can unlock a door without making a sound as well as sneak past guards. How you solve the puzzles you face in the games, are all up to you. But do you have what it takes to be a hero?

These games were the reason I got in to computer gaming. I found QFGIV at a garage sale on 15 different floppy disks and a beat up computer manual. After playing it, I immediately went through and played it again and again. even having started off on the 4th game in the series, I was not lost and the story was compelling, fulfilling, and amazingly well thought out. I had found 1-4 on a pc-cdrom a while back, but after windows 2000, nothing would play it. Good on you, GOG. Very happy to see this in my collection. at 550+ reviews and average score of 5 stars, I think everyone else is too.
