Quest for Glory 1-5

I joined GOG a long time ago and first game I looked for was Quest for Glory!!! and ITS HERE!!!!!!! ZOMG!!!! YESSSSSS

I'll admit that the idea for these games is incredibly novel and interesting - an RPG/adventure point-and-click hybrid. And with certainty I can say that no other games like it exist. However, the games are heavily marred by the adventure game aspect and ultimately make them extremely frustrating to play. I won't spoil anything, but there are multiple occasions where timing is crucial, and you're asked to do a series of tasks in rapid succession. Other than the frantic clicking you have to do (heaven help you play the EGA version and have to type the actions in), the tasks don't always make logical sense - it's more Sierra moon logic BS that worked it's way into these games. Ultimately, these games are an exercise in frustration. You'll get stuck and not know where to go or what to do next, and the frantic timing will have you save scumming all the time. If you must play these, avoid the EGA version of the first game like the plague - the combat system is about one of the dumbest and most frustrating mechanic I've ever seen. This goes for the second game as well - play the AGD Interactive version, with reworked gameplay and removal of the stupid alleyway system from the original. Certainly gives these games a try, as the idea is novel and interesting, but they in no way deserve the amount of praise they receive.

I'm am so happy in my pants right now, This game IS my childhood, i still have the original box and the 5 1/4 floppy disks version of this game, I sstill have the manuals and memories. I'm amazed and so right now SO HAPPY IN MY PANTS

I LOVE this game... port it to Mac please!!!

I'm gonna give it a three, now before every fan hangs me i will explain why. The game is dated, it uses oldschool game design which is very punishing. It is rarely clear which objects can be interacted with, and death comes to you in unexpected ways. I died once by having my HP reduced to zero, and tens of times to "scripted" deaths and running out of stamina. The story is nice enough and there is a true sense of exploration and heroism in the game. This game really could use a remake i think? The quests and world are fairly well done, it is merely the engine that is lacking.
