Ahhh Hero's quest (as I first came to know it) those were the days. It was the first RPG I played where killing things on a regular basis is incoprorated into the game. An eager ummm well under 10 year old back then, I loved this game and played it over and over again. Even manging to get the coveted 500 pnts. (only once though of which I haven't been able to duplicate....yet) Other fanatical achievements include getiing probably over 500gp and thousands of sp though I was overweight all the time and it turned out to be a waste of time as you loose your stuff in later games (damn!). Getting all skills up to maxe in each game of this series (except for stealth and I think climbing). Finding bugs (such as going to the graveyard during the day, resting till night then climbing the wall-which theoretically should place you in the wood mill/house thing on the other side but results in an error message heh). Anyway this game has been more entertaining with its great humer, continuity (in terms of standards, tradition, and quality-thanks to Lori and Corey for puttinf their all into the series, and though QFG5 is supposedly the last, I hope someone can persuade them to take up the keyboard again)and gameplay. It was my favorite and still is from the Sierra games and provided a great change from the now very sickeningly polite and cliche'd King's quest series. The only thing I can find fault with this series are the slighty substandard sound effects and some fidly graphics in QFG 3 and 4. I also wish they would have kept the type interface as playing with a mouse makes it a bit too predictable (highlighted objects just so you know something will happen when you click on it) however with the great humor, story, music (love Erana's peace) and countless other little refinements and oozing detail you quickly forget anything other than playing it till the end and then again. (also, QFg seems to be the only series of games of its type which allows you to import characters...not including games like the AD&D games.)
