I'm a spicy fellow.
Just finished the first game ; the EGA version. It started sure nice enough, but I am far less convinced about the final hours of gameplay. I am not used to grind in adventure games ; walking around for hours on my toes just to increase the Stealth stat so that I could get out of a bush without attracting the minotaur was the epitome of retarded.
There are some bits that were also retarded on the adventure front ; I would have never found the brigand's note in the tavern without a walkthrough ; said note is like two vaguely different pixels on the screen that appear in the last part of the game. Absolutely ridiculously hard to nice.
But it is a game oozing with charm and spirit ; I guess I was just stupid to even hope completing a Sierra game of this era without a walkthrough.
I will probably finish the entire series, but I'm undecided on starting QFG2 straight away. I have read a little about this game and two things annoy me terribly :
-navigating the city in labyrinth mode (eek!!!!)
-Tight time limits to complete each part of the game.
That's not going to be the first Sierra game I complete without a walkthrough either.
