Which QFG game Did You Play First?

[Swift]

I just learnt from the QFMG forums that if you can prove that you did own the original copy of the QFG CD/s, then you can request for someone there (most likely Elsa) to send you the game.

Yeah, well, I can't prove it.

Or just buy it on EBay  :cheerygrin:

In regards to HQ, it ties with QFG4.  I absolutely loved both games, and considering the number of bugs in QFG1, I certainly prefer HQ.

QfG4 was my favorite for plot and stuff, but the bugs got annoying.

Really annoying.

Dosbox! Dosbox!

Or CPU Killer

Slowed my comp down TOO much to be enjoyable.

Hero's Quest.  I then played the rest of the titles as they came out.  (Until 5 which came much later)

I think it was back it 2000. I was in the seventh grade or so. I was a huge fan of Sierra/Lucas Arts adventure games. I played LsL6, King's Quest 6, and other games.

Ok, Confession time. I'm Romanian. A relatively poor country (well, at least we have plumbing, but we don't use computers. Right now I'm using smoke signals to tell you guys this   ) and so, while 20 dollars may not be that much to you over there, around here it's a relatively large sum. Hence, I cannot afford to buy original games. I have to resort to making *sigh* pirate copies.

Moving on. A friend of my dad's gave me a CD with tons of games. Camelot, King's quest 5, etcetera etcetera and the Quest for Glory series. I played them all, starting with QFG1 remake, and loved them, but got stuck in QFG 4 because of the copy protection...heh heh. I guess I got what was coming to me. Anyway, format, get a new computer, I never saw that guy that gave me the games again.

For FIVE years I searched for them, and now, finally, In 2005 I got the internet and managed to find a website where I can download them, plus QFG5 from torrent. So now, 5 years and 1 GB of downloads later, I have them all, including the PDF version of the manuals.

This has been the story of a guy that loved the game too much, and led him to his demise...or not.

Hope you're not going to tell the feds what I did

Hero's Quest, this was when i was pretty young. Probably when i was 9, so that was in 1996.

EDIT: Where can i find this torrent, and what is the best bittorrent program to use?

Hero's Quest: So you want to be a hero.

I was a huge fan of the Quest games such as Space Quest 1-3 and Police Quest 1-2 to that time and also a frequent D&D player. When I saw that Sierra announced a RPG game in the style of their previous Quest games I just HAD to buy it. I was really amazed and kept with the series since.

I'm not sure I'm allowed to post that here. I'll PM you

good idea =).

Keep such discussions on downloading games off the forums please. It's not legal to download them. Which also means no PMing either.

I played them all in order after buying the Collection Series, starting with QfG1 EGA.  Recently I replayed the series (this time as a fighter/paladin, since I first played as a wizard), and I tried QfG1 VGA.  Personally I think the EGA one is better, but then, I have a strange affinity for the text parser.

Oh, and between Dosbox and the belzorash patches, the bugs in QfG4 really aren't a big deal anymore--I didn't even have to use a slowdown utility my last time through.  Although Dosbox doesn't help if you only have the Windows version (like in the aforementioned Collection Series   ).  But the belzorash fixes worked wonderful for me.
