When I was a kid, I LOVED the Sierra adventure games. Kings Quest and Space Quest were great, but the game series I loved the most was the Hero’s Quest games (later the name was changed to Quest for Glory). That’s why when I heard that Quest for Glory 2 was being remade by AGD Interactive and was released to the public for free, I had to get a link out here on the site.

Check it out and relive some remade and touched up gaming history.
