Quest for Glory II: Trial by Fire

One of the finest parser adventure games ever made. Strong writing, gorgeous EGA, and another round of memorable characters and witty puns. Just remember that Silly Clowns, once turned on, cannot be turned off again.

I enjoy these classic Sierra adventure games so much, right down to their tinny simple music and lovely pixelated graphical presentation. This Arabian Nights-before-Aladdin-did-it RPG adventure is a ton of fun too though the maze-like cities were REALLY hard to wrap my mind around as a kid.

I don't appreciate adventure games that rely on text parsers. I can't even get Google or Siri or Alexa to do what I want them to nowadays, never mind some game from decades ago. It also looks hideous. Too bad this entry in the QFG series never got the graphical and point-and-click overhaul that the original did.
