No Quest for Glory (aka Hero's Quest) :(


This site only offers games released under Sierra's older game interpreter (AGI).

The games from about 1989 onward, including QfG, used a different interpreter (SCI, which was very advanced for its time: an object-oriented VM platform with a complete GUI toolkit, running on top of vanilla DOS, years before Windows 3.0).

The SCI games can be played under ScummVM or DosBox, if you have the original binaries.


I was a huge fan of that entire series (though 4 was kind of buggy).

It is hard to find games in that same vein anymore. Planescape:Torment and KOTOR came close, but even those are several years old now.


Torment is definitely in my top 5 games of all time. Hard to believe it's been out for ten years.

If you haven't played it, I highly recommend "Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura", developed by Troika and published by Sierra in 2001. It's very similar in depth and mechanics to Torment, Fallout, and the other Black Isle RPGs.


Thanks. I'll look around for it. Anything more recent in that vein?


Do you guys already know about this?

Still not QFG, I know, just an FYI.


If you are looking for a great QFG remake: http://www.agdinteractive.com/games/games.html

The KQII remake (new animation/storyboard, new story, voice over pack) is probably one of my favorite games of all time.
