The 16-colour Quest For Glory I text version contains some funny easter-eggs and jokes. If you happen to have found other ones, please send them to the e-mail address stated on the index screen.
Here's a very nice one, send in by Gary. The adress for the School of Famous
Adventurer courses for Heroes is: 12345 Aerris Way, Silmaria. Aerris is an
anagram of Sierra.
At the main menu of Quest for Glory I, hold shift, and click on the insect. Congratulations! You have now discovered the first bug in the game.
When you are at Erasmus, look at the bedraggled, worn, over-used Peacock.
Poor thing... wait a moment, look how beautiful the feathers appear. If you
like these feathers, don't look at him again. They will just disappear. (This
peacock also appears in Leisure suit Larry 2, or Rosella's first adventure
King's Quest IV, both from Sierra)
Speaking of Rosella, look at the sarcophagus at Erasmus place, and you will
see some hieroglyphs. If you translate it, it says
"She of the golden hair". Why, it's an excerpt
from the Rosella Stone. Just look at the picture.
Look at the plane, close to the dunking-dragon. It has some letters printed
on it. The letters are : Lytton P.D.(Lytton P.D. is the police department
of Police Quest 1-3, also from Sierra)
The last joke we found so far at the Erasmus place is the armor standing
close to the stairs. Look at it. You can see it's from Colonel Dijon(Dijon is a
character from Sierra's Colonel's Bequest)
Sometimes at Mirror lake you can see a submarine passing by. Or is
it just our imagination? I mean, how could a submarine get into Quest for
Glory I? And even if it was there, it has to be one from Codename : Iceman
(Thanks to Mark Kinney for telling me this)
At the guild hall, you can see an antwerp stuffed. If you ask about it
to the guild master, he'll tell you, it was defeated by the 2 guys, who
came from Andromeda(The 2 guys of Andromeda are the creators of Space
Quest series)
At the guild hall, you can see a moose stuffed. You might notice that this
moose also appears in all other QFG games. Thanks to Domen Novak, we noticed this joke
Wanna know why you shouldn't pick your nose? Well, first your lock pick skill
must be above 40. Only then can you open your nose, but if your lock pick skill
below 40... well... this is the result. Thank you for the joke, herald_mage@hotmail.com
Just like the moose(see above), there is also another animal which appear
in every chapter of Quest for Glory. This time, it is a black bird
statue. You can see him, at the brigand's leader office.
Thank you for the joke, herald_mage@hotmail.com and "fertilayzer"
When you are at the bear in the cave, try talking to him. All right, you
can't talk to bears. But try it again for a very silly answer...(Thanks
to Jethro Gulner for telling me this joke)
The three brigands in the brigand cafiteria are actually the three stooges,
amd they are really as bumbeling in the game as they are in real life.(Thanks
to H.R. Bradshaw for telling me this)
If you hold shift and click on something not very interesting(the sky, or something like
that), and you get no message,
try it some more. Sometimes you get funny messages.
If you type "fart", you can get some very strange messages.
