Quest For Glory I - Part 22 - This Chick is Toast! - 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:

Awesome videos dude thanks. Though you could have bought the chain mail too. And you didn't save the Barons son. Oh well lol. Btw Stelor used that one fucking bow the entire game! Can't you give him a break? Everyone else got cool magic items Stelor was using the bow gotten in the first level all the way to the beholder... and he was one of the three that survived!

@Twiddybum you're welcome, glad you liked them. If only Stelor had that bow in this game it would have been most helpful. What did I have to do to save the Baron's son?

Just finished watching the entire playlist over the past few days. Great entertainment, very funny in parts as I remembered encountering similar problems when I played it back then. The EGA version was even harder and more frustrating.

One question: the voice over of Baba Yaga and other major characters... was that you through a distorting device or did the game actually have this (as I don't remember it having spoken dialogue).

[JimPlaysGames]

@dennistm thanks, glad you enjoyed it. This was a fun series to make. I have great difficulty with text parsers, which was my main reason for using the VGA version. Plus it looks nicer.

The voices for Baba Yaga and others were a combination of me doing a funny voice, plus some distortion effects added in with audio editing software.

@JimPlaysGames good point

[JimPlaysGames]

@FreemanOfNewcastle hehe, if Riker was running this program, he would have fucked the centaur filly :P

[FreemanOfNewcastle]

@JimPlaysGames either this all took place as a holodeck program or they've breached the prime directive :D

@jj655321 thanks.

Nice playthrough, was fun to watch.

@laffer35 thanks, glad you enjoyed it. The end part definitely looks like there's a lot of in jokes I wouldn't know about. Why Commander Riker seems to be there still baffles me though.
