Always thrilled to have a new reader. :)<br /><br />Whenever I doubt the value of my blog in future, I will always remember that I saved one individual the pain of playing through Codename: ICEMAN! That makes it all worthwhile.<br /><br />As for your hint, well by the time I had enough money to buy more daggers, I didn't really need them anymore. It really would have helped me to build the stat though. Throwing a single dagger at the target and then picking it up was very time consuming!<br /><br />I hope you stick around!The Tricksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419316208187255801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-15994760854806197052012-12-10T20:39:54.881+11:002012-12-10T20:39:54.881+11:00Absolutely correct!!!

Here's a hint.<br /><br />Well, for starters, the main character has a first name and a last name, but put together they form a word. It's this word that my riddle represents.<br /><br />Not enough?

I guess there is a lot common in QFG's and Ultimas - The Hero/Avatar theme, a large and memorable game world, interesting characters, overarching plot.

I've always called the qhole series Hero's Quest and not Quest For Glory, Damn Milton Bradley and their copyrights I say.<br />Any way, here's a hintish, even though I know you've finished it will come in handy in later games: Lbh pna unir zber guna bar qnttre gb guebj naq gura cvpx gurz hc sebz gur qrnq obqvrf nsgre.<br /><br />So here are 2 things you have taught me Mr Trickster: 1- I really need to play Zak McKraken. and 2- Even though I have always wanted to play it since I was a kid when it came out, I really DON'T want to Play Codename: Iceman. Thank goodness I never managed to talk my parents into buying it for me when I was young. I just downloaded it too after being inspired.<br />So I've bought QfG 1-5 from Gog instead, just finished 1 again as I remember the whole thing and now playing 2. Never played 5 so looking forward to finishing the series.not usedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324649528463783854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-45254292106882618752012-12-09T14:33:56.756+11:002012-12-09T14:33:56.756+11:005) Just came to me!

It really only comes up if you read old books, or watch the Queen's Christmas address or something (My parents do, for some reason the Royals are big in Canada, which amuses British people to no end when they visit). <br /><br />But yeah, I was right in assuming it is because when a royal speaks they are speaking not just for themselves, but those they rule. So when they say 'we would like you to vist' they mean 'the members of my household and I' or 'my subjects and I' Canageekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770924810559440307noreply@blogger.com
