The Quest for Glory series is among my favorite adventure game series ever. It combines the great fun and imagination of classic role-playing games with the skill and thinking of classic adventure games. This, plus the simple but enticing idea of becoming the hero of a town and rescuing it from evil, makes the game compelling. This fourth installment of the series, Quest for Glory: Shadows of…

I agree with the QFG4 review.. too bad they did not offer patches to fix the bugs, especially error 52 at the Mad Monk’s Tomb. If you have anything faster than a 486DX50MHz, it will crash.

I’m compelled to say that the writer of the review is reviewing this game as a part of a hole but if this game were to be reviewed as different you an I will agree it atleast deserves an 4,5 or higher because even to this day I find it the best game of the series and the best adventure I know of

this is the most bug ridden game i have ever played. I can’t even finish the game unless i put it on a slower computer, luckily i own one. So i am able to finish playing this horibly bugged game. It almost seems as though Sierra doesnt care about quality, only the money.

I just read your review of Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness, and I totally agree. I too am an big fan of the series. I managed to finish every game except for Shadows of Darkness as the game continually crashes by the Mad Monks Tomb (where a ritual is hidden!). It really sucks! I have all 5 games and the fun thing about them was the fact that you could import you hero into the next game. This way it felt like your hero really had done all that. But my journey seems to end in Mordavia. I must tell you I was (am!) really frustrated by it back then. Besides al my complaints I do want to say to everyone out there that Quest for Glory rules!
And I have one question: How are you supposed to get maximum points in Quest for Glory 1? I think it is not possible! Can someone help me out?
