Quest for Glory 1 is a good game to play if you are a Quest for Glory fan :Brain:

Hmm, sound or voice is not working on my game, it says the voices and sounds were installed but i cant hear ANYTHING, if anyone could tell me what to do please do so.

I think that speech pack isn't included in this archive, but if it is, then try installing VDM Sound (from the main site>programs).

Guest 27-04-2005 11:11 PM

yea i downloaded that just now but it still does not work, does the sound work for you, or anybody else.

Unknown Hero 28-04-2005 08:21 PM

Nope. It doesn't work. I used to play it without sound, and I don't mind it.

Don't think that sound would be very good, as the game is old. :ok:

The link to the classic version at sierrac was dead when I tried today, but some googling gave me

http://www.oldgames.org/games.php?showcat=Q

which is the original version and seems to run just fine under DOSBox.


I prefer the original to be honest, maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's the combat system. Maybe it's the fact that I encountered 2 annoying bugs in the remake after less than 10 minutes of play.
(Tied with the guildmaster in knife-throwing game, he said 'double the wages' and then nothing else happened and the only way I found out of it was restore, and got annoying pop-ups all over the screen when I pick a little too many magic mushrooms... mmm... mushrooms).

Never got around to trying QFG 4/5, so I'm looking forward to that after playing a character through the first 3 games. I'm gonna go Thief/Magic this time I think. Never did that combo before.
Does anyone know if I'll be able to stay a Thief if I complete the wizard initiation thing in QFG2? I seem to remember the game changing the class around when you multiclassed (either by adding attributes on character creation or wishing for attributes from the genie in the bottle in QFG2)

I want this guy to stay a cool, hide behind the cloak thief and not a wimpy, fireslinging, handglowing wizard once I get to QFG3.

Great site btw, I just downloaded about 20 games that I remember enjoying back in the stoneage.

Aha! Quest for Glory series are the best Sierra ever produced, and I have played all (I to IV) them again and agin ever since they started coming out. Regrettably I don't have V Dragon FIre as I was going through the worst period of my life when it came out and I missed it. :cry:

QFG 1 (Original) is the most dificult - the writing part plus recovering your health and vigor...fighting is tough and money is hard to come by...but very enjoyable nevertheless, the VGA remake is comparatively easier. But Shadows of Darkness is the best story wise!

If you're playing as Magic User or a Fighter-cum-Magic User then winning the Maze game from Erasmus is very difficult. Yorick's maze, once you understand it is easier.

Wait to see the vga release of qfg2 by tierra entertainment, which is as entertaining as the vga release of qfg1 and not like the original qfg2 .
