Now don't anybody freak out.  

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.

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.

With respect, there is a reason why it's often blacklisted. Porno, no? However, some of the jokes are kind of funny.

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.

I'm afraid the rules don't permit the discussion of this game due to its offensive material. This is a family forum.
