To date I don't think I've played a series that was as engrossing as this series. One of the first RPG/Adventure games and easily one of the most enjoyable games ever written. Like all good stories, QFG (or Hero's Quest if you had the original version of the QFG1) had a cast of characters that brought each episode alive for the players, and then in many cases, they would pop back in to help you in later episodes. The story, humor, puzzles, skill building, and combat made this series easily my favorite games ever. If you're not sure whether you will like the game, consider this: when Sierra On-Line was in financial troubles and planned to cancel the fifth game, it was the fans who demanded, en-masse, that the story needed to be completed. Sierra reversed its decision and QFG 5 was released. Not many games have that degree of support.
