King's Quest, Space Quest, Quest for Glory, and Police Quest series, as well as many other Activision classics, 60% off! Any Questions?

Nowadays, hearing the word <span class="bold">"quest"</span> your mind will probably follow the train of thought inevitably leading to the realms of role-playing games. But 20 years ago? In the 1990s, when <i>Sierra Online</i> was the towering mountain in the landscape of game development, the word <span class="bold">"quest"</span> was almost synonymous with an adventure game. Last week we did celebrate the fact that point-and-click adventure genre is doing almost as well as in the good old days. Today, we take a look back at the best that said good old days had to offer. Retrogamers, rejoice! For we give you the [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/activision_weekend_promo_170114]Winter Quest Fest, with all the quest titles form the GOG.com classic catalog, as well as many other memorable titles from the nostalgic treasure chest that is Activision catalog, with a substantial 60% off discount! Let's take a closer look at one of the adventures that await you, shall we?

Quest for Glory 1-5 is an amazing collection of Sierra's innovative action-RPGs. Each of the five games can be played as a whole but you can also treat the series as one big adventure, as the character and his accumulated wealth can carry on from one game into another. Become a mage, a thief, or a knight and explore the five huge worlds, each based on a different culture and mythology, from Germanic fairy tales, through Arabian and Slavic folklore, right down to Greek myths. Experience the game that set many standards in the "new school" of computer RPG. All that, for a mere $3.99. Let our user Rambutaan tell you a little more about that timeless gem!

Rambutaan's GOGgame Story: Quest for Glory

Note, that the game featured by Rambutaan is the EGA original Quest for Glory, but you get both this and the updated VGA version in our package. Another classic quest series--the one that started it all, in fact--is the long-lived saga known as King's Quest (available in thee packs King's Quest 1+2+3, King's Quest 4+5+6, and King's Quest 7+8, for $3.99 each). Let the classic gaming paladin, our user Rknight718 tell you more about his favorite, King's Quest 3: To Heir is Human!

Hey, has anyone played the Swat games?
Which one should I choose between 3 and 4 for single player? (4 maybe in the future)
I've read that 4 is better in graphic and controls, but has a much worse AI, levels and complexity..
I decided to pick up Space Quest 4+5+6 this evening. I remember playing SQ 4 & 5 several times growing up. These games are amazing, and I can't wait to play them again.
Nice promo, some great games with great discounts!

All I know is that I bought SWAT 3 here during the Christmas sale, and it is a ton of fun - if SWAT 4 eventually makes it here, I'd buy and play that one too!

Leucius: I wouldn't mind seeing Colonel's Bequest ;) Any word on that one? Or Gold Rush? Would be nice for Sierra's lesser known adventure gems to make it on here.

wackyanne: This! Colonel's Bequest at times tied Hero's Quest/QFG as my favourites. I would _love_ to play that again, without having to dig around among my dad's old diskettes, likely data-dead.

Gold Rush would also be great. So too would Freddy Pharkas, Frontier Pharmacist, or the EcoQuests! :D
A second for Freddy Pharkas! C'mon GOG - you gotta get that one!
I hope to see at least dozen of releases from Activision backlog on GOG this year.
Went ahead and snagged I76 because my original disc has been played to the point of warping! :P The I snagged 82 if for no other reason then to make sure I have the set.

ANYONE who EVER sat around as a kid on Saturday watching the Dukes of Hazard has to buy these games. Do not miss out on this sale as your opportunity to snag them. Are they the best driver/shooters out there? No....not even close...but the thrill it gives 30 and 40 somethings out there is worth the price and then some.

Thank you for the info.
I'd really like to take only the best, though.
I guess I'll check some video on Youtube.
Sweet stuff.

If somebody has played police quests. There are swats.. are those good if i've played rainbow six and even that sucks a bit. =)
so basically are those bad games for some adventure gamer. =)
I bought I76...and wonder what its not running on my system.
Neither can it detect my gamepad (and even if with so many controls its useless) nor is it running at all.
Yes, after the installation i launched it direct...only that i couldn't start it again...re-install and the same problem.
Bahh, better playing the worst NFS than this.

I would have bought them all. Leisure Suit Larry wasn't included. :( I got most of the rest tho.
Call me a cheap skate but the fact all these are split into packs of 2 or 3 really puts me off. Is there a legitimate reason for this, other than making us pay 2 or 3 times for a series of 30 year old games?
I'm considering Arcanum, the King's Quest series, Dark Reign, Torin's passage.

Given my backlog (and my fear of Arcanum), I think I will only get KQ4-6, and maybe Dark Reign for now.

I am sure there will be more sales like this when my backlog is smaller.

I also repeat others' wishes for more classic Sierra games being released here.

Also, everyone should check out Rknight718's GOGGame Story: King's Quest 3. It's brilliant. I'm sure Rambutaan's is good too but haven't watched it yet.
I love the Quest games, particularly the middle of each series (King's Quest IV and V, Space Quest III and IV). I own most of what would be considered "the best" Sierra games that aren't on GOG yet, but I'd love to see them added at some point anyway. I've been itching to try Manhunter 1 or 2 for a while, but I imagine those would be pretty far down the line.
