Quest For Glory I - Part 19 - Breach Their Defences - 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:

@Twiddybum thanks, glad you enjoyed them. I was pretty clueless here wasn't I? But I like to think that's part of my charm. I don't make anyone feel stupid :)

Don't blame Stelor you silly person. The VGA remake fucked up the combat animations so its hard to tell when to attack etc I think. Ironically, if I remember correctly, the secret path behind the bushes is the Thieves path to the fortress. You find it as a consequence of the spy mini quest, which, also ironically, you had the major clue to in the scrap of paper from the taven all along.

Great videos all tho dude. Thanks for making them

@TheEPROM9 yeah I like this game's sense of humour. Especially the really bad puns.

The music reminds me of Portal 2 in the old labs. Funny how the game takes the piss out of it's self and the user incopitance.
