I’ve just been informed by Feminist Gamers that a company has just released a free VGA port of Quest for Glory II. Get it here.
This is fantastic news. The Quest for Glory series is one of my all-time favorites. It’s absolutely hilarious, and for its time, cutting edge. Notably, you can play through the entire series of five games with one character, which is imported into each successive game. Actually, the games hold up quite well. The writing especially stands up quite well.
This version comes at an interesting time. I’ve already mentioned that Sierra may be going away. The QFG series was one of their flagships during their heyday. You can still find in some places the anthology that contained episodes 1-4 (which I have, natch). That anthology was released pretty much because of a huge campaign by the fans to do so.
I haven’t installed the new QFG2 yet, but it is downloaded. In this week before Spore comes out (I’m very excited) I may play through all five episodes for old times’ sake.
