quest for glory

I did this recently but I couldn't play 5 because I couldn't get it to run on my machine since it's a mid 90s Windows game. I don't remember it being very good anyway. And 3 is a massive turd and I'll never play it again.

I threw a spear at a target and the game displayed a text box that said nothing but "Oops!" and then crashed to desktop one second later. That's the general tone of the game as a whole.

It pisses me off how close we were to getting LucasArts games like the Rogue Squadron Trilogy, Battlefront III, Empire at War II etc only for them to fizzle out near the end of their production.

Squadrons is good and the joystick controls are really well done, someone on the team really liked tie fighter and it shows, but it's drenched in an EA eSports vibe which is difficult to ignore

dunno about 3 but qfg4 is notoriously buggy. thankfully the gog release has a fan-patch pre-applied that deals with most of the issues that sierra never fixed

I'm glad the "You can continue to the end of the game but are hosed because you missed a pixel hunt sometime in the last 2 hours" trend of adventure games died.

I quit NMH2 when I started the SHinobu section and picking it up today the home menu has switched from Travis to Shinobu. So NMH2 doing both carry over saves and changing the home screen ftw

Nah, Maniac Mansion did it too. Though that was fixed in a later release of the game

If you ripped the envelope you couldn't send a letter later on which caused the game to progress.

More of an early design trope that roberta williams loved for some reason. Their best games like the good qfgs, Gabriel knight 1-2 (i never played 3), space quest 3, conquest of the longbow etc didnt really pull that crap. Altho i do tend to enjoy lucasarts games more newayz.

The coolest one is in kings quest 2 where a bridge will collapse without warning after you corss it a certain number of times, which makes the game unbeatable. So you have to make sure you cross it only when u have 2
