Infocom, Sierra, and Activision Adventures on Sale

GOG.com has a promotion this weekend on Activision adventure games (the referral link supports ScummVM, a program that can run most of these games on modern systems).

This includes not only the Activision developed adventure games such as Zork: Grand Inquisitor, but the properties owned by Activision such as the Infocom and Sierra catalog. There's a lot of classic games on sale here, from the aforementioned Zork series (including the original Zork text adventures/interactive fiction), to Sierra's Quest series (King's Quest, Space Quest, Quest for Glory), to the Police Quest and Gabriel Knight series, and lesser known gems such as Torin's Passage.

Quest for Glory Series is on GOG.com

Quest for Glory 1-5 joins the ranks of classic adventure games who have risen from the ashes at GOG.com. This package includes all five games in the Quest for Glory series, and is the first digital re-release of Sierra titles to include both versions of a game instead of just the newest one. The original Quest for Glory is available in two versions, the original 16 color game (as Quest for Glory, not the original title of Hero's Quest as Sierra had to change the game due to trademark concerns) and the 256 color remake.

All five games can be purchased in a single pack for $9.99, which is an excellent price for the series, which is well loved for it's fantastically well-done melding of the adventure and RPG genres.
