Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

    I played the first game a lot when I was younger, the 16 color EGA version with a command line interface. I got pretty good at typing and spelling as a kid because of that game. The version I had was “Hero’s Quest”, it’s the same game, but a board game company sued them over the name, so later releases are called “Quest for Glory”.

      Yup! I loved typing in the first 2 games. The 3rd changed it to more point and click. What were those code phrases you could use for the debugging cheats? Eramus rooting tootin root beer and something about suck blue frog toad…idk it was awhile ago. Fun times.

      I still remember being nervous about entering the brigands hideout the first time. That minotaur guy killed me a lot and getting through the jester was fun.
