Such ROM files are not free, and as such falls outside of the scope of this guide. However, in order for this to work you must also have access to MT32 ROM files for MUNT to use in the sound mixing. You can get significantly better sound in the game with the Roland MT-32 settings if you have installed MUNT. In my experience, the topmost selection, 'AdLib Music Synthesizer Card' provides the best sound in DosBox for this game, so that is what I select Press ENTER, and on the next screen, select 'EGA/VGA with RGB monitor - 16 colors' as it provides the best image quality for this game You are now in the installer for Quest for Glory 1 So start dosbox, and type in the following, replacing username with the name of your user: Then scroll further down to the section and type in the following, replacing "username" with the name of your user The game will run slower, but it will be much easier to defeat him When practicing with the weapon master, and your combat skills are close to as high as they will get, if you still can't seem to beat him, then lower cycles down to 1000-2000. There is a certain sequence in the game that might run too fast. Then scroll further down to section and type in the following, replacing 'username' with the name of your user This is not required, but it provides a small performance boost For most systems 128:0 will be the correct setting, however it may be different on your system, so keep this number in mind and we will check later if you need to set it to another sound setting Mouse capture is not required in these games, so it is preferable to be able to move it outside for browsing or whatever else you do while playing This prevents the game window from capturing the mouse. This will allow you to play in windowed with a high resolution, or fullscreen with desktop resolution The following changes should be made in either case: I just used an example resolution here for the window, you can set it to something more suitable to what you prefer These are changes you have to make in all five config filesįor windowed mode (these games work pretty well in a window): Within your:įolder, you should have 5 config files which we will name: You will need 5 config files as mentioned in the DosBox generic guide. The other folders within the extracted 'app' folder should be deleted. Rename the following folders to the indicated new name:įolder in your home directory. We will rename the folders into much simpler names for the sake of simplicity in the following steps. Quest for Glory 5 is not a Dos game, so it can't be installed the same way as the other games. What we want are the folders for Quest for Glory 1-4. However, since this installer is for 6 games (there are two versions of Quest for Glory 1), the app folder contains separate game folders. Most GOG games have the game data within the extracted app folder. There is one thing to note when extracting the contents of the Quest for Glory installer. Setting up games for DosBox is quite similar for most games, however these games require a few extra steps so this guide will be longer than other DosBox games guides I have.

This guide will explain how to play these games on Linux with the help of DosBox, using the digital edition of the games available on GOG.com, but these steps should also be applicable to other versions.Īll games are available as "Quest for Glory 1-5" on GOG.com
Personally I much prefer the original EGA version, but this guide will expain how to set up both, as well as the other games. There is a VGA remake of the first game, letting you use a point and click system. Meaning that you have to type what you want to do.
Fighters also have the chance to become a Paladin, a class which is only available to an imported character that earned it in a previous game. You can select one of three classes when you start a new game, and you can import your character from the previous game into the next. The one thing that distinguishes these games from the other Sierra adventure games, are the rpg elements. The first game was originally released in 1989 under the name Hero's Quest: So You Want To Be A Hero, but name was shortly changed to Quest For Glory since another company had just released another game with an almost identical title.
