TLDR version: Go to steam and get Heroine's Quest and play it.
So I know we've had old action-adventure games mentioned in other OT threads before (
http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...ghlight=sierra mainly), and quite a few people had played them back in the day and loved them.
Anyway,
Heroine's Quest: Herald of Ragnarok is on steam and it's a perfect new addition to these games. Holy cow, the game was so fun to play. I beat it three times in a spree of playing a few months ago before I started on p99 again before I burned out on knowing the story too well to do any more playthroughs at the time. Music, voice acting, story, oldschool action-adventure mechanics... it's pure gold. And it's free on steam.
