Quest for Glory Epic Let's Play Part Twenty-Four: Wrasslin' and Dancin'

Video With Subtitles



We pick up exactly where we left off, in the relaxing and liquid sounds of Aziza's house where she explains just what the hell a Fire Elemental is, what it can do and how we can stop it. There's really no purpose into having Aziza give us those little demonstrations, but they are pretty cool.

Then it's off to Keapon's place where we sell our whirl, across the plaza to pick up some more Vigor pills, and then to Issur's place. That's right you big bald gay stereotype - it's rematch time.

Piece of cake to beat him when our stamina isn't in the single digits. Then we go a few rounds with Uhura before going to the pad for one of the true delights of this game: Shema's dance. Looking back on it, it's actually really sophisticated for 1991 and the art style especially is a harbinger of some of the good things to come from Sierra - note the use of perspective and multiple simultaneously animated elements. This isn't King's Quest 4.

Then it's down for a quick nap before we mount our noble steed and head into the desert at night.
