Go read Wizard’s First Rule instead.

An extremely good and life-affirming true story; you’ll be certain to cry more than a litre of tears by the end.

You can download the free version of Quest for Glory II which was remade in August 2008 here:

I’m pretty much playing it because AGD did such a great job remaking King’s Quest I and II (especially II). I’ll admit I never heard of/played any of Sierra’s Quest for Glory series until now, so this is going to be a total surprise. Long live adventure games!

WOW!! I don’t even like strategy games and I though this was great. They aren’t kidding when they boast over 100 hours of gameplay, and you don’t have to play the first one to know what’s going on. Highly addictive :D

This was pretty enjoyable, although I wish the story was more in depth. I was pretty bored with the game in the beginning, but by the middle, I started to feel much more interested.
This battle system is one of the most enjoyable systems of any roleplaying game I’ve ever seen. It’s more strategic, so you have more to think about than just hitting the attack button every round. The story had a lot of potential, and even though I feel like it could have been better, I still recommend it.
