They just don’t make ‘em anymore like Sierra of the mid ’90s. Quest for Glory IV was my favorite. It had a great gothic/Lovecraftian meets D&D meets slavic mythology atmosphere.

The soundtrack was great too (if not entirely original), but maybe that’s just the nostalgia kicking in.1

Mordavia, I miss you.
