I just completed a series I began almost 30 years ago. Growing up, I played the heck out of the Quest for Glory I VGA remake but sadly never played any of the others until this year. Getting to play the entire series back to back without needing to wait years between releases was a great opportunity to catch all the callbacks, recurring characters and themes. I signed each adventure journal with a flourish :)

My favorite part of all was the dance with the dryads. What an amazing song by Thomas Chance.

I believe the art suffers from many games of the same era where 3D was just getting off the ground. It really is a shame to go from gorgeous 2D backdrops that have aged so well and even the EGA graphics were technical marvels for their time then to awkward early 3D graphics.

I also found there to be way too much combat for my thief character. I didn't really see any way to avoid it. And it was very frustrating to save scum through Hades. I believe that was a huge missed opportunity when you compare it to going through the underground in King's Quest 6. It was just a long, uninspired, frustrating experience.

I wish parts would have had more intuitive ways to progress. Often I would be walking around aimlessly with no clue what to do only to discover I had to give a pizza to a character or just go to sleep at the inn to progress the story...

I thought it was great to bring back most of the characters throughout the series. That combined with the great soundtrack made it an overall positive experience for me. I have a lot of respect for the Coles to take us along on an amazing journey through different cultures in history. Thank you!
