After many years of wait, AGD Interactive‘s point-and-click VGA remake of Quest For Glory II: Trial By Fire is finally here! It’s a painstakingly crafted update to Corey and Lori Ann Cole’s 1990 adventure game classic.
If you are not familiar with adventure games, well, shame on you! You’ve missed out on so much in life. Adventure games are games based on puzzle-solving, exploration, and character interaction. Twitch-reflex action not allowed! Games like these got me through college, and the Sierra On-Line games like Hero’s Quest/Quest for Glory, King’s Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, et al. were high on my list of favorites.
AGD Interactive is a non-profit established by Britney K. Brimhall and Christopher T. Warren to remake older AGI or SCI parser-based Sierra games. Under the studio name of Tierra, they did the excellent remakes of King’s Quest 1 and King’s Quest 2+ which are both highly regarded by Sierra fans. They also founded Himalaya Studios, dedicated to new, original, point-and-click adventure games with high-resolution graphics. They released a commercial game in 2006 called Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman’s Mine, which I think I might order.
