At Long Last ... QFGII Remake
For a couple of years I've been tracking a fanbase remake of QUEST FOR GLORY 2: TRIAL BY FIRE - One of the best classic Sierra adventure games, and even of this awesome series it was my favourite. I remember hanging out for months and months before this game came out back in 1990... and it was the last of the "old style" of 16 colour EGA type-command games.
Now I don't want to say "amateur" because these developers AGD Interactive have done damn impressive remakes already of Kings Quest 1 and 2 (and someone else has been working on KQ4 for a while, not sure if that will ever eventuate though) and have their own commercial game out... I'm still downloading QFG2 but I'm just so excited I had to share! I'm not 100% sure, but I think I read somewhere that these guys had contact with the original creators of the game and were able to add a few small things in that they never got around to at the time. In 1992 a VGA remake of QFG1 (originally Hero's Quest) came out and ever since I've been hanging out for the VGA remake of QFG2 - 17 years later its happened!!!
Oh - and its free :~D
