Oh (speaking of Baba Yaga), and I'd drop $100 in a heartbeat if the ex sierra alum doing these things did an update of Hero's Quest/Quest for Glory 1...that game was sooooo epic!
Agreed! Many of the HQ/QFG games were among my favorites, I much preferred the rpg elements added to the game as opposed to regular adventure gaming. Not only did it add options to solve quests in much different ways compared to more linear adventures, but combat with monsters became a regular thing too, as well as your proficiencies having an effect on how things played out in the adventure portion.
I would be happy if they even did a complete remake with added elements thrown in. Hell even if it leaned more towards an action-rpg style for fighting I wouldnt mind the switch from turn based, if it was done right. Theres alot of good source material to work with there, maybe it's time for a group to step up and tackle this one? The fan remakes have been the best thing to happen to any of these old titles, besides Lucasart's Monkey Island remakes..
Aah well either way its good to talk about this stuff, hopefully someone picks it up eventually.
Until then there's always
