Hi, I know it's possible to beat the pizza elemental. I've seen videos of it being done, but for the life of me, I just can't do it. Hours spent trying and I can't get him down to even half. It's the speed of the falling pizzas I think - along with my failure as a player hahah. In any case, would so...

I started up a new game, and encountered the alley brigand. Imagine my surprise when my HP and SP were lower than they ought to be. Considering it was day 1, and that was the first combat or remotely hazardous thing I'd done, I was curious. So, I restarted twice, with different characters. No matter...

Slightly less amusing, but... - You actually have freaky/strange dreams about the game world, or playing the game. - You find yourself humming assorted pieces of music that fit with any real-life situations that are even remotely appropriate (the Metal Worker's thief job bit when trying to skirt by ...

Heh heh. I get giddy as a school boy just holding them; I picked up Hero's Quest and Quest for Glory II MIB a few years ago on Ebay. They typically stay in shrink wrap in a box, though I knew this guy from years ago - huge Sierra/Disney nut, who kept all his games out on display. HQ came with both 5...

Natch. I downloaded it and the game at nearly the same time.

I was eleven or twelve when I first heard about Quest for Glory, a year or two after HQ1 came out - I had used it (via an old Sierra video brochure (unsuccessfully)) in an attempt to get my folks to buy me a computer at home. So, I played it my boarding school every chance I got. Oh sure I had SQ an...

i.e. is it possible? In the original, with my fighter, I generally lobbed a dagger up to the battlement after 86ing the guards down below. This dropped him in one shot. I consider it as a point of honor- evil toadies who would alert soldiers are best dealt with efficiently. What better mode than put...

Erg. Well, I found it, but I can't 'hit' it, all I can do is dodge the...pepperoni? bits. And I'm not doing so well at that. Perhaps you aren't supposed to be able to beat it? Sure you could beat up the aforementioned optional RPG bosses after much time and effort, and yet... Maybe it would work bet...

After seeing Morningstar's screenshot, I began to wonder if there was a series of events like those. Did you all find them too? Every evening at midnight 'just' before they go to bed, you can sit and chat with the Kattas, learning a little more about their lives and time prior to meeting Ego. Very n...

I wonder if there's a quirk with the diary? Or maybe I've missed a step. I maxed my stats, then got the book, but it doesn't show Ego's skillsets, moves or anything, though Uhura and Rakeesh have both spoken with me about said moves. After beating Issur at wrestling for the bellows, that's the only ...

As I write this, I am well aware that when I hit 'submit', I will have jinxed myself, and things will resume as before. That being said, I started over a fourth time after dropping the color depth. This seems to have alleviated the crashes, though I still get minute/brief sound stutters on initial l...

The numbers are always different. As for updating, let's just say it's not really an option. So, I'll just keep playing, and hope I don't inadvertently get to a point where I can't finish the game, such as being unable to load or what-have-you.

I set the map option to simplified in the beginning because I kept getting lost. ::wry chuckle:: But this now means I can't find the Saurus Repair shop (and who knows how many other neat things)(I scoured the city before looking at the relevant thread here). Is there any way to reset the map without...

I don't recall being able to pick up a ghoul's head in the original, and so I thought 'Neat, a new trophy for the guild hall.' No joy. Also, Harik won't take it (thought maybe he would like to poke at the thing and see what makes it tick). So what purpose does the ghoul's head serve? And...damn thos...

Well, it seems I spoke too soon. I had turned off the 85 Hz thing, and it seemed to work fine for a longer period of time, but yesterday evening, it began going squirrely. I enlarged the cache for sprites. That seemed to be ok, but then I began getting the same crash when I tried to load a game in t...

Don't check the "the 85Hz thing" unless you're having problems otherwise. You don't have to check it just because you're using a CRT monitor. On a slightly different subject, you're running XP on that system? How smoothly does it run? I've always been afraid to upgrade my Win98SE PIII 1GH...

Can you give us more information about your system specs, what kind of sound card and video card you have, your DirectX version, and any other info that may be relevant? Yes. I'm running a PIII - ~590 Mhz, with 256 Mb Ram, 32mb vid card, and an SB Audigy soundcard, DirectX 9.0c, Windows XP w/ SP2. ...

(If this is the second time this post has shown up, it's because I think there was a snag when I tried before). Hi, I've been experiencing mildly annoying crashes every so often. They tend to happen during screen transitions, though the first one below happened when I clicked my coin purse on a katt...
