Let’s Play Quest for Glory 1

Let’s Play Quest for Glory 1! More proof that I blew my “favorites” load early on this channel. Of course this is just the first installment in one of my favorite SERIES of all time: Quest for Glory. Admittedly no one has ever asked me what makes Quest for Glory so perfect, but if I had to describe it, I’d say it’s the perfect blend of storytelling, RPG elements, action, and humor all rolled into one.

lets play quest for glory 1This is the one which started the entire franchise, the VGA remake to be precise (not a fan of typies, plus it’s the one I grew up on). I remember going to a small local computer store where they had a demo of Quest for Glory 1 on. Anyone remember when they used to have demos of computer games going or just computer and computer game stores in general, as a sidenote? This may have been a Babbages which subsequently got bought out by EB which got bought by Funco Land which got bought by Gamestop, whew.

Anyway, while the folks were looking at whatever, my brother and I tried the demo. We had just enough time to get to the tavern and order a Dragon’s Breath which subsequently turned us to dust. Amazing, we were hooked. When we finally bought it and played it the first night I remember thinking the game was broken when the screen began going dark about 30 minutes into playing the game. Needless to say, I had no idea that an internal clock/time change was built into the game (heh, I was probably five or six, so give me a break).

I feel like I could gush bout this game and my memories of it for hours, or the hour equivalent in paragraphs, but suffice to say that I loved this game very very much and it was the first chapter in what became one of my favorite video game series of all time. I even named my band and subsequently my channel after one of my favorite group of antagonists from this game.
