Quest for Glory I, which was named 'Hero's Quest' back then. It was not my first Sierra graphic adventure --the first was Code Name: Iceman, which I never finished. There are several things that hooked me to the game. First, unlike Code Name: Iceman, QfG I has combat, and not only does it have combat, but also an exciting one. Second, QfG I's puzzles are nowhere as difficult as typical Sierra adventures. Third, in QfG I, combat becomes noticeably easier as you accumulated more stats, and that's how I was introduced to role-playing games. And that was how I became an RPG enthusiasts, from Ultima VI to Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday to Curse of the Azure Bonds.
Come to think of it, I'm thankful my first RPG was Quest for Glory instead of, say, Wasteland or Dragon Wars. The latter games are more cerebral, but are also more tedious to the uninitiated, which may turned me away from RPGs. It is the same reason my interest on flight sims was triggered by F-15 Strike Eagle II instead of F-16 Combat Pilot.
Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....
