Yeah I think what sums it up best was from a review I read and it went something like this.
"The Quest For Glory games have always been about 25% RPG and 75% adventure game. Quest for Glory V however is 75% RPG and 25% adventure."
That's a pretty big switch and ultimately why I wasn't a big fan of the game. Too fight fighting and stat building as opposed to puzzle and mystery solving.

That is a bummer. I'm hoping I will be able to play these games again someday when I have a home computer... or even better, I'd love to see them show up as WiiWare titles.

It'd be nice, but sadly the current owners of the library (I belive it's Activision now), don't know the value of it. About 2 years back they released a compliation sets of KQ, SQ, and Leisuresuit Larry, and it was the most thrown together, couldn't give a damn about it bundle I'd ever seen. Nothing special was included. It was just the games. Nothing else. Not a single extra tidbit to the fans. In fact, if I recall they didn't even include all the games in the Leisuresuit Larry and King's Quest bundles.

That sucks. For some reason I figured 2K would have it since they bought Sierra.
