Hey everyone! smile.gif

I’ve been working on a quest for glory section on my website with information, pictures, videos, walkthroughs, maps, and downloads for each of the games as I play through them.

I’ve also been working on a large QFG related fan games section devoted to all the successful and particularly the unsuccessful projects. I’ve noticed over the years as many of them have died and their websites have gone down resulting in all their great work disappearing never to be seen again by the fan community to inspire new projects. Despite the many closures I’ve been hunting down old previews, old site hostings before they moved, and even web-archive on the dead ones to find any pictures and information that I can save & create a tribute page to each fallen game.

I’ve already posted this in a couple of AGS/QFG fan community forums (AGDI & IA) and got some extra names I didn’t know about but you guys may know more.

These are all the fan games related to or inspired by QFG that I know of:
Quest For Glory 2 VGA, Hero of Infamous Kingdoms, Hero6, Project Katrina, Quest for Infamy, Adventurer’s Quest/Hero of Odarin - Nightfall, Struggle For Life & Honour, The Unknown Hero, Quest For Glory 4 ½, Quest For Glory 2.5D, The Glory Project, Re-Quest For Glory/QFG3D, Destiny The Lost Soul, Heroine's Quest, The Last Call of Avoozl, Quest for Glory I Redux v 1.2, Project Midgard, Luke 3D, Quest for Orgy Series, Quest for Yrolg, Glorious Quest, and Conquests of a Hero/A Hero's Tale/Quest for Heroism.

Are there any other QFG related projects out there that I haven’t listed here?

Once I’ve collected as much as I can I’ll return for possible advice/info on the ones I have trouble with..

Sorry for the delay I’ve been working on a giant Heroes of Might & Magic Series hints and tips section for my website.

Okay as promised here’s the start of my breakdown of the fan game research & ‘rescue’ lol.

Will use this system to describe issues in my posts, eg for a 100% complete game page it would be:

Links: Yes – Links to project homepages or webarchive version of dead project page

Pics: Yes – collected pics through web investigation or playthrough
Vids: Yes – Trailers on Utube or found elsewhere & put on Utube by me
Files: Yes – Walkthroughs, Maps, & Download locations for either complete game or demo

So other then links I’ll only mention something if it’s a No & needs help

Just to make sure there’s no confusion when I say "almost complete" I mean MY AMOUNT of information, I DON'T mean the projects status as we all know most of them never got near finishing unfortunately..

Ok guys, that's it! That's everything I've managed to collect over the last few months. I've been contacted in private by a bunch of people (including authors of some of these projects) who'd given me some great info and material so I've updated my previous lists to reflect all the changes. Thankyou for all your help so far! smile.gif

If anyone else can fill in any gaps I'd greatly appreciate the help! smile.gif I'm now gonna use what I've collected here to finish building my tribute fan page.
Blake00
I have made a few updates to my list including adding 2 new games to my list (thanks to Radiant and Corby at Crystal Shard games contacting me):
Glorious Quest
Conquests of a Hero/A Hero's Tale/Quest for Heroism (they never decided on 1 name)

and an update to the Quest for Orgy games (thanks to members over at AGS). Also removed Mirror of Dreams from the list as its not QFG related.

The webpage I’m building from my research above is almost finished. Will post it soon.

Hey everyone. My little pet project webpage dedicated to all the QFG fan games is essentially finished! Before anyone points it out yes I know it’s pretty basic, but I only know basic html and made it all in notepad occasionally pasting in freely available scripts & code. Never really had the time/money to take a proper course lol!

Blake’s Sanctum – Quest For Glory Series

Obviously I’ve still gotta finish my playthroughs of QFG3,4 & 5 but the fan game section is done. They’ll probably be little updates as people are still contacting me with QFG games I didn’t know about but most of the work is behind me.

Orion nicknamed my page the “graveyard site” for QFG fan games and he’s quite right lol.. so many dead projects. Now at least some of them will live on and hopefully inspire more project ideas from the surviving studios in the future. There are also some great successful projects there and I’ve done my best to show them off and support their great work either by linking other peoples good walkthroughs, maps & videos or by making my own (QFG4.5 has my biggest contributions).

I’ve got to say big thankyou’s to the people that have helped in the forums and who have contacted me privately with information, pictures and files! Notably Corby over email (Heroine’s Quest, Conquests of a Hero), Radiant at AGS forums (Quest for Yrolg, Glorious Quest, Heroine’s Quest), and Orion at these forums (Project Katrina & HOIK) for help on their respective projects and other projects. I still welcome any information that can help fill the gaps in the list above & my page, plus I’m sure there’s more projects out there I don’t know about. But for now I hope people like! smile.gif
