Back in the late '80s-early '90s, I cut my teeth on Sierra, LucasFilm and Jordan Mechner (that 2D Prince of Persia is still among the best games in the series. But I digress). Hero's Quest I/Quest for Gory I was the very first RPG/adventure-type game that i ever played. Five minutes in and I was hooked. Some of my happiest memories come from experiencing the games in the QFG series. When Quest for Glory IV ended, and V was not yet even a glimmer on the horizon, I remember hoping they would make a fifth game to put a delightful cap on this hero's journey. In a lot of ways, QFG5 is the weakest game in the series, though I must give credit where it's due to the Coles and to Chance Thomas, the composer of the game's soundtrack. Every year or so, I will journey back to Gloriana (the world, if I remember rightly, where the games are set), and it's like I never left. The QFG series, among others of that period are like coming home to an old friend.
