Hero's Quest [Oldschool name!] 2 is my favorite game of all time. Bar none.
Unless of course I thought it was better than Hero's Quest 1, which I do, and I don't. This might seem confusing but picking between them is like picking between siblings. They're truly fantastic, compelling stories, great writing, beautiful art, heroically fantastic music, just amazingly fulfilling gaming. Three was shocking by compairson because it was so scimpy on all the little anachronisms and minor side-quests that made the first two great, in fact I only really play it so that I can import my character into four, which really was great. Although I have to say that the fighting in three and four was atrocious, but at least four had a great storyline and a really intense feel to the game. The whole Eastern European mytholgoy thing worked really, really well.
Five was so bad it was like having a favorite unkle look after you your whole life, give you the best presents, the best advice and then one day try to put his hands down your pants. I don't even consider it part of the series, I haven't finished it, I have no interest in it, I don't rate it or care about it. I haven't really done anything with it. I might use it as a paperweight, if I wasn't worried that it might muddy up my documents.
