Quest for Glory 1: So You Want to be a Hero? (PC) - Retro Gaming Review

[@RedKytten]

I remember loving this game so much that I once actually fell asleep playing it. This is not too suggest I found it boring, but that I was unwilling too stop playing and go to bed till I just collapsed in the chair. Never done that before or since.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

That's dedication!

[@Mowglibaloo2]

One of my favourites from my childhood

[@ObiWanBillKenobi]

Out of all Sierra games, the text parser had its greatest use by far in QFG1 and QFG2.

[@daveassanowicz186]

YES! I played the original version on my older brother's computer bitd. Typing in what you wanted to say and do was so much more fun than just clicking boxes.

[@benoitpoulin2733]

I played (and finished!) that game - the EGA version - on a Tandy 1000 EX. I was 11 or 12. The game was so good I did not mind sweeping through 10 floppy disks. This is the first installment of my favourite game of all time. And Hero-U was a blast! Thanks for making a younger generation of players discover that amazing game!

[@MagnusVonBlack]

This whole series means a lot to me. Thanks for the great review. Total blast from the past!

[@Cannotbetamed1]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@polypixiepaladin4570]

Huh, I definitely did not have the same frustration with the text parser in this game as you did, Pam. But then, the text parser in this game is largely responsible for my early typing development, and its text my reading development, so I might just not remember that as well now.

[@JasonKnigge]

This is one of my favorite computer games of all time. thanks for the trip down memory lane.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

No problem!

[@CopernicusNerdicus2020]

There was nothing quite like old school Sierra RPG's and the point+clicks. Awesome review, brought back a lot of memories and makes me want to really tap into my old PC gaming collection.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

They are really great. It's also made me want to replay the Gabriel Knight games.

[@gpejski]

That was a nice dose of nostalgia. I also used to start Thief with magic. I must have maxed the skills on a dozen characters. Never did play the fifth one.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

The 5th one tries to go the 3d action rpg route, but I still enjoyed it. I've definitely played through the series on all the different classes.

[@bramvanduijn8086]

@@Cannotbetamed1 The fifth kept crashing when I needed to go to the dragon's cave, IIRC. A pity, because I absolutely love it most out of the series.

[@ThePreciseClimber]

Definitely my favourite Sierra series and in my opinion the best example of the save file transfer. I wish more RPG series had such a variety of settings. Fable could've done this but instead they decided to go forward in time. In Fable I never got the same feeling I got in QfG. The feeling of satisfaction after helping people. The feeling of being a true hero.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

Yeah, the save file transfer and variety in setting definitely make this game something special.

These are the type of games I remember playing younger but never got far in nice job Pam Love the Quest series!

[@tombaker3731]

This game always seemed fascinating to me due to the RPG style stats and mechanics on top of a point-and-click structure. It seems like such an odd combination at first, but it looks like it really pays off.

It really does, it has the best of both worlds.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

Those are some good presents

[@houseofshuffles449]

Quest for Glory (aka "Hero's Quest (1988)) was my introduction to adventure role-playing games at age 12 in in 1991. An absolutely charming game. The atmosphere in the game (especially the chilling feeling of wandering through the forest at night when you're first starting out and are in danger of being killed in any battle). Not to mention the beautiful art and environmental and character designs. The music, also, is simply unforgettable - although back in 1991 my parents' PC only had a "pc speaker" for sound, LoL (so "beeps" only). But it was fun to later be able to play the game with Sound Blaster sound, and today (on my current PC) with the Roland MT-32 MIDI music and effects...that would have BLOWN MY MIND 32 years ago! However, today I'm not much of a fan of the Quest For Glory VGA remake. For me, the EGA version still looks better (many of the character and monster designs in the VGA remake look unremarkable or silly - in fact many of the monsters tend to look more like stuffed toys rather than something that is truly threatening). And I much prefer to battle monsters with my keyboard and mouse.

[@braselthegamer]

This was my first PC game, and I still love it. I play it every few years. So glad you covered this!! Now I want to play it again.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

I played 4 before I ever played this one, but I loved it as soon as I tried it.

[@cswrye]

I personally found the Fighter to be the most versatile class. He can do all of the quests of both the Thief and Magic User, and the the only ability he can't learn is the Zap spell. In contrast, the Thief and Magic User are locked out of some of the Fighter's quests and can't use the sword and shield.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

True

[@ChannelCortez33]

On Dos, combat strikes and doges and were smooth and accurate. You just had perfect your timing. It kind of reminded me Mike Tyson’s Punch Out. Great review of one of my all time favorites!

[@CmdrPinkiePie]

[@Cannotbetamed1]

Thank you

[@CmdrPinkiePie]

You could count the 1990 SCI version of King's Quest 1 as the first remake they did. Aside from the VGA version of LSL, they also re-did Space Quest 1, Police Quest 1, as well as Mixed-Up Mother Goose.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

Oh cool, I didn't know they did Space Quest and Police Quest. I've always wanted to play those but didn't last very long with the EGA versions when I tried them.

Discovering games like this now really makes me wish I was a PC gamer back in my teens. I like this idea of a point & click adventure game with RPG elements. I've seen many game styles with stat leveling but not this type of combination.

[@1325marky]

This game was so fun! I loved seeing this video! Brought back a lot of fun memories. My brother bought the QFG Anthology in the late 90s, and this game was included and the only one I played. I found the text versions of the sequels a lot harder so I didn't get to play them as much. I would love to find this game again. Super duper video!

[@NoahFineburgh]

I loved the first game, loved the Earl Sinclar cameo.

[@ThaxCast]

I loved all of the Quest games growing up. I definitely grew up with the original text versions, but really appreciated the svga remakes. I tended to play as either a thief or a warrior with magic, and as you import into the later games, I would become a paladin. Going back to some of the original text based adventure games, I wonder how a 5-10 year old me figured out how to beat those games!

[@Cannotbetamed1]

I don't know how I figured out how to play the text versions either. I remember one part in QfG2 where you needed to know the name of someone that was mentioned in passing during a much earlier conversation. I don't know how anyone figured that out on their own.

[@ThaxCast]

I'm actually playing through the AGDI remake of QfG2 right now. Luckily, it is point and click.

Awesome review Pam.

[@RCGamingGuides]

Great video review. First video of yours that I have watched. Keep up the stellar work. 🙂 This series always felt like something that was ahead of its time to me. They had so many different ingredients assembled that even now are not always done as well in modern games. Just the fact that you could bring the same character along through different games was such a cool thing. I also like the fact that you could bring in solutions to problems through spells learned in earlier games. That was very cool of the devs. One of these days I will do a series of "Let´s Plays" of these games. Your video was a great way of reminding me of that.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed

QFG1VGA released in 1992. It happened before the QFG3 - it is VGA only - came out; I think it was the introduction for the new VGA QFG. The CD version of the QFG1VGA came out in 1994! So, it is a little-bit older... ;)

[@billbell8138]

Excellent review Pam, really made me want to give this series a go! Love it when the thief finds some soiled hankies and silver, and just takes the silver XD Also what an epic group shot at the end, noticed someone hanging from the ceiling at the back!?

[@Cannotbetamed1]

You should definitely give it a try! I think you'd like it. The end screen is pretty cool, when you mouseover each character it does a little animation and lists one of the devs.

[@TheRPGChick]

Awesome game! I first played it about five years ago, and I played the VGA re-release as well. In case you didn't know, AGD Interactive released a free game, remaking QFG2 in the same style as the VGA release. There is no voiceover work (unlike their King's Quest remakes), but we are freed from having to deal with that vexing parser.

[@MagusMarquillin]

Unless you prefer it like me, and for us they included the optional parser (at least for conversations where it makes the most sense)! Amazing 8 year passion project, AGDI.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

I plan to play the AGD version of 2, it looks really nice.

[@feslenraster]

@@Cannotbetamed1 Actually, they were sued because Hero's Quest was originally a board game by an obscure gaming company. So they changed it to QFG, I loved the typing texts version better than the point and click stuff.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

I’ve heard of it

[@1ButtonDash]

@@Cannotbetamed1 You would probably like it. I'm actually replaying the QFG collection on steam right now. However also on Steam is a FREE game called Heroine's Quest. The devs of this game actually were huge fans of Quest for Glory and based the game around that. It's a point and click adventure with the same exact RPG elements QFG has. You undoubtedly would like that game. And like I said it's a free game.

[@Feenix102]

Cool review. I just finished the sequel to Stasis. Its free on Steam and its called Cayne, and...you play as a female character! Worth checking out, but not as hard or as long as Stasis.

[@GiveBlood555]

ugh ive just had a flash back of my friends brother playing this - never knew what this game was call

[@retronatics2097]

Great vid! Haven't played the VGA remake, and have still yet to play past the first QFG. I'm actually a fan of the text parser interface, but that's just what I grew up with. So, if you save the Baron's daughter, who is essentially the brigand leader, the game will end, without giving you a chance to save the Baron's son? I've thought of trying to do that before, but having to defeat so many strong baddies to get to her always dissuaded me, so I always worked my way up by doing the small quests first, along with saving the Baron's son.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

Yep, that's the trigger for the end of the game (at least in the VGA version, I haven't played the other). IT kind of sucks that you can miss 1/3 of the big quests but also gives a reason to go back and play again.

[@Risperdali]

Great game! I finished the OG EGA version.

[@thenomad4123]

Just completed this game. It is mostly a fun game I agree, and quite filled with content for its time. I got annoyed a lot of times though. I have encountered several bugs which forced me to restart (and it is a grinding game so it hurts), I didn't like its limits on waiting, and worst knowing there are unwinnable states in the game I was very paranoid about making progress until finally I just checked what moves could result in them so I could play more relaxed. And that Mage's Maze frustrated me a lot, until I read the manual and saw the rules were explained there. Old games I guess.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

I just replayed it and the limits on waiting was my biggest complaint (other than combat).

[@jamesdelosh8099]

[@joshuabrown3654]

Definitely my favorite point-and-click adventure. So the VGA remake was released in 1991. In 1994, they released a CD version which had actual audio narration for all the characters dialogue. That's the one to get. Problem is I can't find it!

[@Cannotbetamed1]

I don’t think there is a voiced QfG1.

[@MagusMarquillin]

This series is my Saurus-jerky, I'd welcome a look at each volume. For me though, I prefer the original EGA version of part 1 - being the one I grew up with surely has little to do with it :). It's in the era of better programmed parsers compared with early Sierra, and it feels more involving not being told by the game all the options you can/must ask about, instead of, in the first 2 games, needing to pay attention and remember who I need to talk with about what. And there were so many wonderful verbs that got reduced to the hand icon. Sierra really lost a lot interactive appeal with the move to point & click (though they refined their charm in other areas and they remain very playable). And VGA version cut out a cool extra bit with the cave troll, so I hold that against it too. There's just a bunch of little things that are different, I'd argue some are objectively and admit I'm a curmudgeon about change. A few are objectively better in VGA though, I could give it another go, the graphics are pretty nice (even without my amazing purple pants and black cape). Did you know they animated the portraits and the monsters with rotoscoped claymation?

[@Cannotbetamed1]

I remember one part in QFG2 where you had to remember some really obscure name that only gets mentioned in conversation once to progress. Had to take notes to get through it.

[@MagusMarquillin]

I think I know the part you mean - towards the end, "speak the name of power"? Not sure how it connects to my comment, unless your countering my positive parser memories with a negative one. I remember taking notes when I first played these, and many other typing games long ago - I don't remember it bothering me. However, I have to give these games props for teaching me to type, spell and expand my vocabulary - any strange names I had to remember were just an investment in the world's lore and verisimilitude. Maybe it's a sign of my age, old enough to love this, but not old enough to easily slip into the first 4 Ultima games.

[@Imperatrix.Ekaterina]

As someone who played both the EGA and VGA versions on era-appropriate hardware back the early 90s, I can say that the timing of enemy attacks never really lined up with the damage you took, even back in the day. I don't think the series every really made the Dodge and Parry skills super useful, though the QFG2 remake by AGD did do a lot to fix the relatively weak combat systems of the original series.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

I also played it on era-appropriate hardware, but I wasn't sure. I didn't remember it being this bad in terms of timing.

[@ACWraith]

I just watched a playthrough of the parser/EGA version on Twitch today. It holds up well. =)

[@Cannotbetamed1]

Yeah, it still looks good, I guess it just depends on the patience one has for the parser.

[@gregkral4467]

but when I played it, you had to type in all commands, the GUI and mouse abilities came later... but still, like space quest.. hero's quest was awesome and funny. like monty python for pc.

[@AnonyMous-og3ct]

In my opinion the original EGA version was somehow superior in terms of gameplay. The mini-games and combat felt more responsive to me in terms of controls with instant feedback. The VGA version had a sort of lag in between hitting a key and the animation kicking in (perhaps a deliberate choice to favor presentation at the cost of responsiveness). I did like the change from text interface to point-n-click, but I didn't like how the mini-games, including combat, lost their control responsiveness.

[@Cannotbetamed1]

I do agree that the combat seems laggy in the VGA version - it's why I almost never play a warrior, it's too hard to time things whereas if I have magic I can spam it.

[@AnonyMous-og3ct]

​@@Cannotbetamed1 Fighter and paladin were my favorite classes until 3 and VGA remake of 1 perhaps for the same reason. After that I started to like rogue and wizard much better. I definitely prefer point-n-click interface to text-based command system though!

[@sierrakobold6896]

This is one of if not the most important game series in my life, also the vga remake came out in the summer of '92 so when you mention '94 version you must be citing one of the early QFG collection anthologies that probably had 1-4 and came out in later '94, cuz Shadows of Darkness even came out before then originally on floppy with no voice acting in '93

[@Cannotbetamed1]

Yeah, it was the CD version in 94.

[@sierrakobold6896]

yeah so the QFG1 VGA remake was released in summer of '92 and the one on your anthology and every other collection since its release is the same game, just saying in case you thought this was an updated version re released in '94, this one is exactly the same as when it was released in june of 1992, I'm sorry to be such a dork but just wanna get that out there

[@Cannotbetamed1]

It’s a hotly debated topic. I know a lot of people who prefer EGA but I don’t care for the colour palette, or text parsers.

[@sierrakobold6896]

@@Cannotbetamed1 yeah you're right, props for efficiently articulating the differences by mentioning that Sierra games with a text parser interface are exclusively EGA graphics compared to VGA point and click cuz I'd say vast majority of forums and threads on fan sites almost always compare the preference of text parser and mouse driven action interface without regarding the visuals.

What you said about ending the game early by defeating the Brigand leader is not accurate. How can you defeat the Brigand leader before finding both of the Baron's children when *Spoiler Alert* the Brigand Leader IS one of the Baron's Children? Secondly, I go back and play the entire Quest For Glory Series about every 2 years and in playing QG1, Defeating the Brigand Leader doesn't end the game. For me, running off Baba Yaga is what ends it. No matter what class you are, defeating Baba Yaga requires a magic mirror that is in possession of the brigand leader, which you cannot get unless you defeat him first...

[@Cannotbetamed1]

You might want to go back and play again to get your facts straight.

[@narisiel]

@@Cannotbetamed1 well I am definitely going to go back and play it anyway, because I am overdue to play the entire series again... but I have played this game every couple of years since its release back in the early 90s and everytime I have played, I have completed the game with the maximum possible store, and the very last thing I did what is runoff Baba Yaga after I defeated the brigand leader

[@Cannotbetamed1]

It sounds like you're playing the game the same way every time. The Baron's son can be completely ignored or missed, if you defeat the Brigand Leader and go right to the castle rather than to Baba Yaga, the game ends.
