Quest For Glory Retrospective - Super Show

[@fishpower52]

Give a man a fish, he is full for a day, give a man Quest For Glory, so you want to be a hero, he learn not to insert a lockpick into his nostril.

[@raulvito6246]

One of favorite series ever! Great to see you giving it its due Dave

[@DaveControlLive]

Damn! I was pretty sure most people would have no idea about this series - that's awesome!

[@raulvito6246]

DaveControl My first ever Sierra adventure game was Hero’s Quest and even though I like consoles I am a PC gamer first... how about some New Vegas retroactive?

[@davidmiller9485]

@@DaveControlLive bro, i'm 20 years older than you. I more than remember things you don't. Hell i remember using the internet before the web. Gopher was our friend and M.U.L.E. and Ultima were big. (there were others, wasteland, simcity, R-type, elite, and then their was Faust (or here in NA, Seven games of the soul) a very very adult themed adventure game that really made 22ish year old me think a lot... Fun times) LOL i''m soooooo old. Shoot me now P.S. Hope the ribbing doesn't offend you. :)

What!!!!! 😱 a new episode of super show? Cool 😎

[@labrynianrebel]

This, this was one of the defining video games of my childhood.

[@justfly538]

I always love your videos! I feel like you're a hidden gem of the internet. Shout out to ENB for introducing me so, so many years ago.

[@DaveControlLive]

No way! ENB introduced you???

[@justfly538]

It might have been around pre-Dark Souls 2 hype. You 2 were my dark souls walkthrough guys I'd watch 😁 Fell in love with the channel and content. You are always entertaining. Super Shows are hilarious! And we played a lot of the same games!

[@noelienoelie8425]

@@DaveControlLive Same for me. Epic mentioned you in a DS1 lore vid. All those years ago now.

[@BDLA]

Another fantastic Super Show!, Dave!, Thanks for the amazing video!, even if it is for a game I've never heard of until now.

I actually learned how to type fast when I was a kid with all the typing prompts.

New Super Show! Great job as always Dave! Always looking forward to new episode :)

[@WesYes]

Thanks Dave! This game and you are the stuff of legend!

Yo, my man Dave still trucking, very happy to see this

[@theoutsider8745]

It's back! Missed this content a lot, looking forward to more super shows!

Looking forward to your Halloween supershow 🤙🏻🤙🏻

I know there are plenty of other things I could point out but I have the same keyboard and mouse as Dave and that makes me oddly happy.

[@skoalsniper006]

Just gunna leave a like right here real quick.. love the content man

[@cloudbloom]

Fuuuuuck I LOVE quest for glory😫👌 blew my mind as a kid, played one through 4 religiously. Thanks for covering this gem (the vga version)❤❤❤

[@buckjas]

Great vid, thanks!

[@IanWatson]

I never had much difficulty with the Mage's Maze, but then I usually played a Magic-User so had enough mana to get through it. Fun fact: if your lock pick skill is above 40, you can use the lock pick on yourself to "pick your nose" without it being fatal, and in fact it acts like you're picking any other lock. So once it's above 40 it's a really convenient and quick way to max it out to 100.

[@DaveControlLive]

Once I figured it out (and bought MP pots) - it wasn't so bad. I was more-so going over my initial thoughts when I was trying to figure out how to play, and kept running out of magic right away, haha

[@cloudbloom]

If you don't know this, you can climb the tree with the birds nest right outside Spielburg next to the house with the thicc lady, that was my go to place for increasing my climbing stat

[@DaveControlLive]

I KNEW I forgot to mention/show one of the spots! I did that in the playthrough to get the ring, but then immediately forgot, lol.

[@cloudbloom]

@@DaveControlLive haha it's all good man! Throwing rocks at the nest works too to get the ring so I figured you might have done that😁 such a great game, finding Erana's Peace in the forest by accident was so magical as a kid, I love the music throughout the entire game and the humor is top notch as well. Thanks again for covering it🙏

[@Byrnzi360]

The trigger spell is pretty awesome in the grand world building of the series. It sets off magical enchantments. It can be used to detonate magical traps. Of particular note - it can be used to remotely detonate a magical staff, which is useful if something were to steal yours.

[@dh2890]

Dang bro I’m playing kings field AC and you’ve definitely improved in quality. Good job 👍

[@InquisitiveMindUK]

Classic - good for a laugh on the realities of playing QFG1

[@labrynianrebel]

The AGD remake of Quest for Glory II is a free download. So if any y'all want to try the series, you have no excuse.

[@ThePreciseClimber]

What Quest for Glory did with world-building is something fantasy video games still don't do very often. I mean teasing the locations from future games by including characters from those places in earlier games. QfG1 takes place in a Germanic country but you encounter the Katta couple from Shapeir (Middle East), Baba Yaga from Mordavia (Eastern Europe) and Toro the Minotaur from Silmaria (Greece). And then QfG2 had the Liontaur from Tarna (Central Africa).

[@Vicsongwriter]

How do you know Toro was from Silmaria?

[@sierrakobold6896]

My friend and I always used the tree by the heslers hut to raise climb skill, especially since you'll want to retrieve the healers ring in the birds nest a top that tree

[@PayneMaximus]

The QFG series are my favorite games of all time. Period.

[@ChiefXuligan]

At 1:33 I heard Illusion of Gaia music and I got so excited! Are you going to cover that?!?

[@DaveControlLive]

Good catch! It's honestly pretty unlikely unless I do something minor - like a Let's Play - but I did absolutely love that game growing up. It's also a pretty interesting one when you think about how dark it is...

[@ChiefXuligan]

DaveControl You could do the Quintet trilogy of something. If not, no big deal. Just cool to catch something like that in a video when I least expect it. It’s probably my second favorite game of all time.

[@samuelbarrett1082]

I played the original Hero's Quest. You DEFINITELY needed the book for it. Along with a note pad and some good note taking skills. It ran pretty slow on my 286 back in the late 80s

[@sam_overthinks9931]

Baba Yaga IS super cool! I first stumbled upon her in a monster manual for the pathfinder TTRPG and got intrigued The chicken-legged hut is so weird and i love that kind of weirdness in a game!

[@deltawolf]

How do you not have a million views already??

[@sancturillore]

Great video!

[@servantofchaos9635]

hes back!

[@swempytimes]

I'm subscribing for the hopes that you'll do more Sierra games

[@cloudbloom]

The thieves guild in this game and qfg 4 were top tier

[@swempytimes]

I've been playing dragon's Dogma 2 as the hero and it's made it a lot more fun

[@ObiwanNekody]

What manual information is needed for QFG1 VGA? I've played through it several times but never noticed something that seemed manual locked (unlike QFG4)

[@sancturillore]

I can proudly declare that I paused to read every single death message screen (including the ones that stayed less than a second on screen). Same for all of the message screens from the game, actually. I regret nothing! (okay, there were a few text screens that I couldn't read, but that's not my fault. (see from 13:13 to 13:19 That map that you made ( 7:45 ) is really nice. You found that secret passage without the hint? I guess that Wall-Checking Degree came in useful. By the way, what does the Score out of 500 in the top right corner mean? Is it something akin to an achievement completion score or a 100% game completion score?

[@DaveControlLive]

It makes me so happy you noticed the map. It took a surprisingly large amount of time, so that honestly makes my night as I wasn't sure if anyone would notice/appreciate it. So, you get achievement points for completing certain tasks - but it acts more as a guide to show you that you're on the right path. You don't get anything for getting 500 other than personal satisfaction.

[@sancturillore]

@@DaveControlLive Two things. 1- Have you ever gotten 500 in one of your playthroughs? 2- You bet I'm appreciated that map! I have OCD (for details) in plus of Asperger Syndrome, so I love details like that. When it was on screen, I paused the video and carefully and slowly checked every single part of the map. As in, looking at not only the content in each small area, but also how the areas interconnected and how to navigate through the game world. It appears that you can't go in all four directions for all of them, which in my opinion gives the map more life as well as making it less confusion for newcomers. The many details can thus easily be used as landmarks to facilitate navigating through the game world.

[@DaveControlLive]

@@sancturillore I don't think I have... I think I ended this session with 490 (or something around there), and quickly glanced at a walkthrough to see if there was anything I could spot I missed. Some tasks are worth 1 point, so at a glance, I had no idea - it seemed like I'd hit everything. You're correct on the map! Several portions won't let you go all 4 directions. There's also 4 pieces of map missing at the top that I couldn't fit. I would have had to make the map on screen even smaller, and decided I wanted to preserve at least somewhat being able to see it. :-/ (And figured only I would be annoyed I couldn't fit the whole thing, haha).

[@sancturillore]

@@DaveControlLive Yeah, I can understand that sort of dilemma. In the end though, taking the time to go through the map before continuing to watch the video made it easier for me to understand where you where in the game in the rest of the video As a result I did notice the few places that weren't on the map, but I don't think those were absolutely needed in the map (since they were areas in the border and which could seemingly only be accessed through specific paths which were shown in the map). The Magician's area with the mini-game being one such example. So I think you made the right choice.

[@ohamatchhams]

You should try Supershow on Silent Hill games, especially that less recognised Silent Hill 4 That game can leave a mental scarring

[@DaveControlLive]

I actually really like Silent Hill: The Room - it might be my favorite of the ones I've played. Definitely would love to go back to it.

[@TreklenRowley]

[@sancturillore]

Alright, I guess I'm gonna have to buy myself a copy of "Alanna: The First Adventure." Thanks for the recommendation (which I hope it is).

[@DaveControlLive]

I haven't read it in quite some time, but I absolutely loved it as a kid. It was written in a style super similar to Harry Potter, but before Harry Potter came out. (And about a girl trying to be a knight).

[@sancturillore]

@@DaveControlLive Nice. And what was that about for the thief? Is the character you mentioned one I should look forward to? If so, in what sense (power, cunning, personality, etc.)?

[@DaveControlLive]

@@sancturillore He rolled a 20 in charisma. At least, as a kid reading it I thought he was super charming/charismatic.

FYI, Spielburg is German for "Gametown"

[@gfhjkfghj4208]

Not really, Burg means castle, not town. But some towns are named after the local castle, so their name ends in -burg.

[@nchutchind]

​@@gfhjkfghj4208 Thank you. You are absolutely right. I was wrong in my initial thought anyway, because I was thinking of "berg" which means "mountain." I probably should have given the disclaimer that I'm learning German and am still a novice, but I had a novice's conviction and confidence. lol

@@gfhjkfghj4208 I thought the German for castle was "schloss".

@@MagusMarquillin "Schloss" is a kind of late castle, with more emphasis on luxury than military strength. So it's more like a palace.
