QFG was the game series that made me a true gamer at a young age, from this series i realized how complex and intricate the story, characters, plot and environements of video games could be, cuz nothing of this scope could be found on the consoles i owned at the time like SNES and Genesis. QFG is the most important game series in my life and it hold the most nostalgia, sentiment and memories of any games I had ever played

Played the original "hero's quest" in high school. For us, it was a "King's Quest" with added character types, action, combat, and a more open storyline with tons of optional sidequests and per-class content. We all loved the series and couldn't get enough of it.

I remember how me and my best friend made our own card-games of all the Quest For Glory and King's Quest characters, and made them fight each other, the one we liked most won lol. :-p

QFG is my favorite series ever. Such awesome memories and story telling. I was immersed as a kid, really feeling the story.

Trial by Fire is number one for me, followed by Shadows of Darkness, then Hero's Quest, Wages of War, and then QFGV, didn't care for it much.

0:46 okay if those are the terms & conditions, I guess I agree then

You ranked them in exactly the same order I would have. Especially putting Shadows of Darkness up top. Aaaah, so much to love about that game. Like Katrina. And all of the quirky characters. Also, there's an LP on the LP Archive of someone going through all five Quest for Glory games with a narrative, and they do the most wonderful thing with Shadows of Darkness by making Mordavia the Hero's home town, and the shopkeeper and gate guard as his mom and dad. It's phenomenal.

Golly, it's so lovely to see I wasn't the only one who loved these games as a kid.

2 and 4, obviously, but 4 is definitely better!
So many memories, so much inspiration for my artwork and stories!

Great video, your rankings are exactly mine. I was OBSESSED with this series growing up having played through many many multiple times. Number 4 was actually the first I played as I didn’t get a PC until 1994 and it opened my world to both RPG and point and click adventure games. Was always disappointed they didn’t make a 6th game using Kickstarter because they didn’t own the rights anymore.

QFG 5 was the only one I played as a kid (played SO much), so I shamelessly put it as #1 because of nostalgia. Otherwise, the other rankings work for me.

Quest for glory V is one of my absolute favorite games of all time.

I will also concede that it isn't good but it is absolutely delightful.

@rogerwilco24601 5 years ago (edited)

Technocery.

2 is by far my favorite. Great puzzles, best interface, great humor, epic length. Lots to do, balanced, and told well. More mature than game 1, fewer stumbles of later games.

1, however, will always have a place in my heart. I bought it (well, Dad bought it) when it was Hero's Quest. It was a great step into role playing elements coming out of the [etc.] Quest games that I played before it.

Thanks. I have really wanted to check this series out after hearing about it. I have never played it.

As far as I'm concerned, John Rhys Davies is the voice of the Hero.

He also speaks in second person.

QfG 4 - I remember playing it even though it had a game breaking bug at the Yaga house which prevented me from finishing it (I didn't have internet back then and couldn't get the patch 😂). Anyway - the whole series formed my future love for RPGs and strong storytelling. I wish to be buried at Erana's place...

@BenMalter 3 years ago

Really glad I found your channel Number 5 is 5. Quest for glory 1 was the best!!

@pmtthedancer 5 years ago

Great list. I would put Q4G 1 as #2, but it's close. I wish 5 was not rushed to finish as it felt that way as you play through it. 4 is a gem. Best Sierra series and one of my favorite gaming series of all-time. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.

@Hedrakk1 8 months ago

Quest For Glory IV was also my favorite, but also (at least in my case) one of the Sierra Quests that I got the most bugs and computer crashes. I remember nicknaming it "Quest for Glory IV: Quest for bugs" 😂🤣

@SLRams340246 1 year ago

To me 4 and 1 were poetically the most fun. I think though the combat system did change the way i rank mine.

@substylee3129 3 years ago

Man what a trip down memory lane with some of my favorite games. Great list I would just change GFQ 3 and 5's spots. 5 did not feel like a QFG game at all and was just not fun to play for me. I never did beat it and tried multiple times.
