Community giveaways are back! That’s right, we have another fantastic present for you guys because not only do we love our community, but you all seem to enjoy each other, too.
A donor who wishes to remain anonymous has generously given us a the full Quest for Glory pack from GOG.com. This includes:
- Quest for Glory 1-5
- Both the VGA and original version of Quest for Glory 1
- 6 Manuals
- 2 Maps
- Reference Card
- 3 Famous Explorers’ Correspondence Courses
- Hero Journal
Whether or not you win, you can also download Quest for Glory II, for free, here.
Alright, so how do you enter? Well, I’m trying to figure out our community get togethers, and I’d like ideas from you all. What are some venues near you that you think would be nice? We’re trying to spread out our events at various locations, but obviously only know our locals best. This isn’t just limited to Joburg – would you like to see events in Durban, Bloem, or PE? Would you be interested in organizing it? Don’t worry, it’s just a matter of picking a pub/bar/restaurant/venue and showing up. We’d love to see more community get togethers, not just in Joburg but around the country. Where would you like to see our shindigs take place?
Oh, and would you like to do anything other than drink and eat? We got some cool adventure offers for our next get together, but it may involve costs and physical exertion. Yay or nay?
All comments welcome and multiple entries will be counted – as the prize is digital, our global community is invited to participate, too. Wow, I’d love to see a lazygamer community event in another country!

I don’t mind where we meet… as long as it’s not in Snortoria or the Vale it’s fine… just seems I battle to get to them. Like the last one that I missed 🙁

VampyricSquirrel Monk
February 4, 2014 at 16:33
Damn, that’s a lot! But then again I didn’t pace myself on Friday… I killed 15+ plates in just over an hour… only because they weren’t making what I wanted.
TiMsTeR1033
February 4, 2014 at 16:42
The secret you see is to not eat the whole day and be starving when going, then see those plates come up and you ATTACK!!
VampyricSquirrel Monk
February 4, 2014 at 16:51
I only ever eat once a day… except for on weekends.
TiMsTeR1033
February 4, 2014 at 16:53
Then drink a crap load of green tea before going! lol
VampyricSquirrel Monk
February 4, 2014 at 16:59
one word… EWWWWWWWW!
VampyricSquirrel Monk
February 4, 2014 at 16:31
I hit 15 plates excluding the 4 or so plates I helped my wife with.

Hhhhmmm … I wish I could actually commit to going to a get together … but I can’t, because life. As for what to do … I don’t really mind – the kid friendly thing last time sounded great (pity I was at the in-laws, south of the border in Alberton). Who here used to game, pen-and-paper style? I have such fond memories of rolling d20’s rather than studying during varsity …
Alien Emperor Trevor
February 4, 2014 at 16:00
I used to, was great fun.
Edit: If I somehow end up at the top of the list please remove me, I already have these 😉

I remember playing the colour (VGA) remake of QfG 1 instead of listing to our class teacher in computer studies at high school.
“So – you want to be a hero?” Also, think I have an original CD with QfG5 on it somewhere. Not sure I could get it to work though.
Alien Emperor Trevor
February 4, 2014 at 18:54
I crashed QFG1 by throwing a dagger at that bouncing ballon-like thing. “Oops we didn’t think of that!” *crash* I thought it would pop – seemed obvious to me :/

February 5, 2014 at 09:33
Lol, when I threw a dagger at it it jumped into the air only to land on top of me later on in the game

It is hard to commit sometimes man, I was gonna go like made plans and everything, then all fell away to waste side with unforeseen events of life.

Bloem would’ve been nice but I don’t know if there’ll be any interest. I’ll get-together with a beer at the Mystic Boer but that can hardly be called a community event….

February 4, 2014 at 16:18
Ahhh Mystic right in the Varsity Days.

February 4, 2014 at 22:05
There’s people in Bloem? WHAT? AND INTERNET??!! 😀

heard they got upgraded from 28k to 56k dial up not so long ago…

Bloem do internet through payphones, they’re hipster like that.

Jip, the internet thingy is pretty new though. We used carrier pigeons till three weeks ago.

Cape Town! Though we do tend to have meet ups quite often, more people must join!

Bite Your Tongue in Durban on a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday night. Half price sushi those nights, and it is really really good sushi.

Wait, so Quest for Glory II is free for everyone?
Just like that?
How did you guys manage to pull that off?

It’s the AGD remake,they have a licence to remake Sierra’s games for non profit.
Someone
February 4, 2014 at 16:25
Awesome. Can’t say that I’ve heard of the game before, but it does look interesting.
Memories of Dig 😉

I initially jumped and downloaded, though ‘AWESOME’… Then saw remake and lost interest. When playing a golden oldie I want it like that – same with the KQ / SQ / PQ 1 games that were remade and you now have to use the mouse as well – it doesn’t fit, doesn’t feel right.
SlasherZA
February 5, 2014 at 09:49
QfG2 original is my best memory of the series – QfG2: Trial By Fire is the original name and it was a hectically difficult game for its time and even now – some real skill required to finish. Tons of patience highly recommended as well.

What about Rumours in Weltevreden park? They have live music on occasion, and good eats…

Ah, Quest for Glory… Oh what fun times were had and what awesome memories were made. 🙂
Definitely gotta have a meeting of the Cape where an LG staff member or 2 or 10 join us. 🙂 You gotta see the debauched insanity we get up to at our meets…
**holds up hand** Am I right guys? Guys?! Hello…?

Love Hero’s Quest! I prefer the confines of my home 🙂 Maaaybe free beer could entice me…jk, I’d come if I have free time.

“I prefer the confines of my home”… So does that mean party at your house? 😀

Jammed a couple of older games the other day – how many of us realise how easy new games have become? Even at hard we suffer, but its nothing compared to games of yesteryear. Those games in even Easy mode tended to involve many replays of a level, many frustrating deaths and many head scratching moments… I’m shocked to realise how bad my gaming skill has become when benchmarking against the old games…

Go do Go-Karts at Swartkops – The big ones… Its pricey, but worth every damn penny!
Unavengedavo
February 5, 2014 at 09:26
Dammit and I just got this for myself the other day!!! Blerrie Murphy :'(
Anyway… I think we should go play paintball for the next meetup, unfortunately I had to help a friend with his car and then other things also happened with the last meetup.
SlasherZA
February 5, 2014 at 09:46
Maybe look at doing a paintball session, or something fun – get blood flowing for all the geeks.
Either that or anything short – most people can’t commit a full day, but can do an hour or two of meetups.
Paintball also works well – many geeks are notoriously antisocial, so they get to meet up without having to have awkward converstations 🙂
Alien Emperor Trevor
February 5, 2014 at 09:47
That’s what the alcohol is for :/
Unavengedavo
February 5, 2014 at 17:15
“get blood flowing for all the geeks.” I thought that was what the ION was for 😛
But I totally agree with the Paintball suggestion, need to test out my new marker I bought 😀
