I got the game a few weeks after it came out despite having only CGA and 2x360k floppy drives without a hard drive. I tried to be smart and dump in some 4 colors CGA driver from other Sierra games onto the startup disk. Unfortunately, (if I do not have a memory leak) the moment Disk 5 loads, it prom...

Hope everything will be based on the map from Alichica instead of the original map. Places such as WIT will only show up in the map after you get there the first time. So, apart from finding your way to Dinarzad, you still need to use the map several times. Hate navigating the old alley.

AGD2 : Glad that you enjoyed the trip. Perhaps you could share some snapshots with us when you have the time :) Thanks for the explanation, I learned something new without expectation. Actually, I was indirectly asking how did a town in QFG2 (Shapeir) ended up in QFG3 East fricanA (modified from Eas...

My assumption is that the game is very close to completion. Probably handed out to beta testers now while they take a break. And by the time they're done with their vacation, they'd probably do some final bugfixes from the feedback of the beta testers.

Main page not updated for a month

The main page has not been updated for over a month now. Hope AGD1 and AGD2 is not lost in the fascinating labyrinth of narrow streets and alleyways of Shapeir...err I mean Stone Town. How did East fricanA end up having a town similar to Shapeir btw? :p Edit: The intention of this post is not really...

Man.....I've just finished playing KQ2 remake after keeping it for over a year in my HD. Not a KQ fan here, but I'm playing it thanks to Tierra's efforts in making it VGA. Love them nice graphics. I'm using the walkthru to finish up the game. Was really a tough one. Doubt I could finish it without a...

mugenmidget:

Something just came to my mind. You may wanna try SCI Studio (http://www.bripro.com/scistudio/index.php) and use it to open up Hero's Quest and QFG2. If you're lucky, you could be able to find the script used to generate the export file.

Ummmmmm QFG 95 CharGen? Never heard of it. Mine's written in 98.

Heh I've just recompiled it and added some minor error handling. Can't remember if I done any thorough testing to import them in QFG5. As far as I remember, it's been tested for QFG2-4 only.

I have a generator which I created for every character with skills maxed at the end of each game. I wrote it back in 1998. Want it?

I've no idea how to decode the original export files either. So back then I used some memory editor to change their value and saved it at the end of the game.
