We've all fogotten one of the greatest RPG series!

Quest for Glory!

This had classes and attributes and skills and food and sleep and side-missions and wandering monsters and sometimes a time limit and it all inter-related into the greater plot. Each episode overlapped with at least one other as well.

If it weren't for the extremely out-dated combat system, I'd be playing it right now! (That's a lie. I'd still be here getting my Internet fix.)
