Quest for Glory 1-5

Nothing beats the classics!

This is the 3rd time I purchased the complete series. I bought each game as it came out starting from hard disks all the way to CDs. Then I bought the Anthology since my hard disks were outdated. Now, I purchased it all over again on GOG and I have to say the price is well worth it! I do have to say, I also own the QG2 remake which is free to download, but it's nice to own the original again. This bundle purchase comes with QG1 original and remake. If you've ever played any adventure game and wondered "man, if only I had a weapon, I could totally take those fools on...", THIS was the game that did it! I've always enjoyed the King Quest series and even Space Quest, but in those games you were prone to die easily where as Quest for Glory, combat is a big part of this game which gave you a fighting chance. I enjoyed how this entire series went through memorable character development with many of the NPCs you interact with. Several of them follow you through the series which gave me a sense of attachment and it gave real meaning to each of your actions and adventures. In this series, you don't play as a pre-established character, you play as you in a class of your choosing (thief, fighter, magic user). You're not limited to these classes either, I ended up with a paladin magic user with all wizard and paladin spells (mage tank). This series combines adventure, humor, lots of secret Easter eggs, a variation of an ending depending on your actions, complete map exploration and freedom, and much more. For the price that this is at right now, it is definitely worth adding it to your library!
