A to Z 2012: Gaming in the 1980s
Quest of the Ancients
I am doing one more post about a game that our group never played. It was not from a lack of interest or availability. There were several times that I picked up the first edition rulebook at our local game store and wondered about buying the game. In retrospect, I completely understand why none of us bought the rulebook. We had a good variety of fantasy games to choose from in the various collections in the group. I know that we had AD&D, D&D, Fantasy Hero, Palladium Fantasy, and Middle Earth Role Playing. That is just from memory and I am sure that we had more. Just like the Living Steel post, what is the point of a post about a game that was never played in my gaming group. Quite honestly, sometimes I still wonder about this game after all of these years...
- Does somebody reading this post own this game?
- Is it worth picking up?
- Am I missing something out of the fantasy genre by not having this game?
- Can anyone just give me an honest evaluation of this game?
Thanks for any answers in advance. I will definitely respond with other questions if somebody is willing to share their opinion...
I don't have much to update on this post, but I do have the following.
I still don't own a copy of the game but I'm still interested.
More information can be found at the Wikipedia entry for the game.
