[Group Quest, Amiga HQMM] - Lost in the Orc's Cave

[Goblin-King]

Coming to think of it... Is HQMM an official product or is it just a random piece of software by some dude?

[thequester]

It's not an official product. That's why it only feels almost semi-official to me

A is indeed where our Heroes start, in the darkness, having fallen through a trap. B explains that all Orcs down here are used to the darkness and therefore better at defending themselves. The chests marked with C both contain a lamp, giving better chances against the Orcs. Chest D contains a map of the cave - almost as good as a fat horde of gold

Thanks. It all sounds interesting: Official , semi-official , or downright nebulous!

Regardless I still think it deserves a spot here at the Inn.
It's still a classic quest, apparently well known by the people who were both HQ and Amiga fans

I went from C64 directly to PC myself

[thequester]

Yeah, and to be honest, regardless of what computer platform it was made on at the time, it was dedicated to the game we love - so I'm most of all concerned about ancient quests like that being preserved and available for people - not being lost.

On another note, kinda like the Library of Alexandria in ancient times, I like the thought of an extensive collection of HQ quests through the times, that one can browse through and pick interesting ideas for ones own games.

[Goblin-King]

That's a beautiful thought

I found the youtube and screenshotted the map. The Heroes start line of sight with 2 chaos warriors...seems like a good time.

Any chance you could post the Jpg in this thread? I've not seen drathe post or respond for a bit. Hope he's still around.
