If you're a fan of retro gaming in general and Sierra adventure games specifically, like I am, you might appreciate the following. I purchased the Quest for Glory Anthology (I - IV) and Quest for Glory V around 1998, when they were new. The Quest for Glory series is one of the few adventure games with RPG elements which allows you to create a character in one game and carry it forward from game to game. For the past 12 years I've been intending to play start to finish through all 5 games.

My second adventure game review was published at Adventure Gamers. The game is excellent, and worth playing. Also, it's worth pointing out that the developer of Nanobots is currently working on a commercial game, Puzzle Bots. I hope to review that one as well.

From my perspective, the editing went quite a bit more smoothly than it did with the Duty and Beyond review.

Now to find the next Freeware Adventure to review.

Duty and Beyond ScreenshotWell, it's official. My first game review for Adventure Gamers was published today. It was a learning experience getting it out there, being the first time I have had to work with an editor. The review is for an amateur adventure called "Duty and Beyond" the game is worth playing if you have any interest in adventure games.

Amateur adventures, by the way, will be my specialty at Adventure Gamers. I hope to get out at least a few reviews a year.

I recently released the EmptyCrate Game Engine and have since written 6 games for the engine. These 6 games represent the first adventure games I have ever worked on, so I thought I would take the time here to share some of what I have learned in the process.
