Default Adventure Game Scene of the Day - Wed 19th April



You have no idea how long I got stuck because the game allowed me to continue even though I had not saved the gravedigger... I made lots of weird theories, such as
Spoiler:
having Dr. Cranium 'resurrect' him, like his assistant (Frankie)

only to eventually find out that I had actually reached a dead-end...

But it's still one of my favourite games. And did I mention that burning the monastery was fun?

DAMN!!!

Just looking at this screen again, I REALLY wanna play QFG 4 again! I have to dig it up.

This was a fun game, and kinda underrated I feel.

It was pretty, but I never understood what I was supposed to do, so I let it go after a while. That, and I can't stand dead-ends.

I can relate to that. I really had a hard time getting into it at first, because you have no idea what you're supposed to do (esp. after #3 which always told you what to do). But it's worth not giving up, because it's really the best in the series, once things start coming into place. You should give it another try.

I'll think about it...

Of course, with my waiting list growing bigger everyday thanks to Oblivion, that probably won't be tomorrow...

Best game in qfg series. Pity I could never finish it because the game crushed each time I entered the swamp.

I always thought
Spoiler:
the gypsy cursed you and you died if you fail to save Igor.
This is my favourite game of all time, so I really hope I'm not completely wrong and making a total fool of myself...

Spoiler:
Only if you return to the screen with the inn/store/burgomeister. So I just avoided going there. Which meant that I quickly ran out of food (which absolutely does not prevent you from going on, if you can stand all those 'you're starving' messages). (or maybe , I'm not sure)
