Quest For Glory I - Part 12 - She's All Bark - Ain't Played In Ages

Quest For Glory is a Sierra adventure game with RPG elements. With a choice of being a fighter, mage or thief, you are tasked with ridding the valley of Spielberg of evil and becoming a hero. In this playthrough, I'll be playing as a thief - a particular thief who didn't find himself so useful in a previous incarnation.

It has a very cheesy sense of humour that's heavy on puns and doesn't take itself very seriously.

I originally played it on the Amiga, which was a fairly different version to the DOS VGA version I'm playing here. The original had a text parser which would probably have just led to frustration if I tried to finish it that way.

This is a request by TheZtekk, who has his own let's play channel here:

"Ain't Played In Ages" is a live narrated walkthrough / let's play series of various games that I haven't played for many years. Usually I'm playing them in the video for the first time since I was a kid. That's a long time ago.

Intro music is from the classic "cracktro" by Unit A. The full version can be heard and seen here:

"basically like a magical hippy or something..." lol

[JimPlaysGames]

@vabvaab heh, yeah I'm pretty sure that's what it says in the D&D Monster Manual :)

One thing Sierra really excelled at back in their VGA days was gorgeous hand painted backdrops, I can't think of many games from back then with equally good graphics. They still look fantastic in my opinion.

[JimPlaysGames]

@laffer35 agreed.

@JimPlaysGames I guess the only solution now is to make a new version of this video with a cgi red herring included, and having editing it so that the people you've stolen from steal from you first.

[JimPlaysGames]

@jj655321 of course, the troll must be George Lucas. No-one is buying his blu-ray atrocities and now he's back for revenge. Noooooooo!

[jj655321]

@JimPlaysGames

Hmm...so you said something bad about the prequels once and now he's back for revenge you think?

[JimPlaysGames]

@jj655321 yeah but I know how to deal with them. If only I had a red fish to give him.

There's a dislike on this one too? You seem to have attracted your first(?) troll. Congrats on yet another milestone, and a bit fitting considering the game.
