The games are great, but... [Posted on 2004-08-27]
I'm a little bit in shock looking at this title. When the Quest for Glory collection vol 1 first came out back in the day, it cost about thirty bucks, but it had all the games that vol 2 has. The downside to vol 1 was that it was riddled with bugs throughout different games. I'm imagining they cleaned that up for vol 2, but how in the hell does that warrant a price tag that's through the roof?! I love the games, which is why I gave it five stars. But this overpriced collection gets zero stars, and I'm severely disappointed in Sierra for screwing their loyal fans like this.

Tongue in cheek humor, creative storyline. [Posted on 2004-10-17]
These games were revolutionary in the early 90's, and the format (choose from 3 different battle types; thief, wizard, or fighter) made the series versatile. Fans of the Kings Quest series should love Quest for Glory. Be careful though--if your pc is very new, you will not be able to run this game. If your pc is from around 2000 era, you may be able to run it, but w/out sound. Depends. If sound is important to you, double check! You may want to look at fansites to see if anyone has made a patch or has figured out how to run it. Good luck!

Play these on your new computer with VMWare [Posted on 2004-12-14]
I truly miss all of the old Sierra games. While I would never trade my first person shooters, I would love to see these games come back. The entire Quest For Glory series is a work of art to be enjoyed by everyone, even kids.

Someone gave a low rating because of the price. The price isn't set by Sierra. These games are out of print and are now collectors items. The price has to do with supply and demand.

Lastly, in order to play these games you can do one of several things. The first thing is to invest in software called VMWare that allows you to run other operating systems from Windows. Install Windows 98, and play these games with that OS. Again, you won't need a dual boot system; Windows XP will be a "host" for Windows 98. Or you can do a google search and find a good emulator that allows you to play these games with full sound. Believe it or not, there is a large community that loves these games.

Timeless Game Series [Posted on 2007-01-25]
I've been playing these games since I was in grammar school, and I'm well out of college now. Good plots, good characters, good combat systmes, and good replay value. Each of the games allows you to export your character and bring it to the next game so that you can continue your work. The puzzles are numberous, some more difficult than the others, the humor is great (I'm still laughing at some of the jokes), and the fan base for these games is still huge. There's pages for it all over Myspace, a group volunteer programers/artists/actors/etc. are working on remaking one of the games and offering it for free online (they did similar work with two of the Kings Quest games). Play them and you'll love them.

Don't send the wrong message [Posted on 2007-06-28]
Great series of games. Old games. For one hundred and seventy freaking dollars? Come on folks. That's just absurd. There's plenty of other good games out there. Stop shelling big bucks for nostalgia and try something new for a change.
