I've been playing QFG since the first one was released under the title Hero's Quest back in the day. I love the games, I'm as much a fan as anyone. I recently had to reformat my harddrive because I was ignorant to the spyware plague which had been infecting it for years. Now at a forum I frequent the topic came up about classic old school PC games from early 90's and earlier, and I of course mentioned QFG, and how popular it is and was and how it became an anthology, then I remembered Quest For Glory 4 1/2, and I lost it when I reformatted my harddrive. I went to the original site, which will not load for me, I can find no links to the game anywhere. I have seen several QFG fan forums (old posts, from years ago) where whenever someone mentioned this game they recieved a backlash from fans claiming the game was hateful and that no one should post any links. I don't want to cause a stir, I honestly love the QFG series, and I honestly had fun playing the QFG 4.5 game. I never beat it, I think the farthest I ever got was looking around the world and seeing what it was like (I was playing through the series at that time and guess I forgot I had it on my comp) and I would very much like to have it again, if only for archiving or to actually play through the game and see all its facets. So if someone knows a link, or would be willing to send it to me, I would be very much grateful. If not, thats cool, I'll keep looking and maybe someday I'll find it again.

When google fails, yahoo succeeds. Frankly, I find QFG fan sites blacklisting of the game silly. Now we wait and see how long my post stays up unedited. Title: Don't everyone hate me Post by: Haven on August 12, 2005, 05:05:14 AM I dunno how you found it, none of my searches were turning up anything but other people complaining about the game or asking for it. But thank you SO much! I truly am grateful for the help.

Title: Don't everyone hate me Post by: Haven on August 12, 2005, 07:00:16 AM The game was made to be funny by fans of the game, a lot of hard work and effort went into it. I for one love porn, and don't understand how anyone in todays time cannot. But I enjoy this game because they really did put a lot of SUBTLE humour into it, as well as the blatant in your face stuff, but it was still cleverly done.
I'm well past being a legal adult in ALL countries, I made a conscious decision to play a game knowing there is adult humour and topics in it. So no harm no foul right? As for kids playing it, well thats what disclaimers are for.
