But because I feel like I've had this too long....

You'd never get bored in this game;
I am three in one!
But you will know me by another name
No need for more cars, or whatever, for this to be done!

Once again, I am being tricky
And maybe you can find help if you look in a redacted!?
For you to find the answer to the rhyme, you must learn
To think more modern.

These rhymes are like a song, let's sing in chorus
Hold on, do I hear the sounds of an approaching Saurus?

If only we could ask Scott Murphy & Mark Crowe
Because, I am pretty sure they would know
Because they used the energizer bunny
But someone didn't find it funny....

My name had to be given the boot
Because of an apparently almost law suit
Hopefully that tells you this story
When I am but am not Quest for Glory?

Are you the Hero's Quest title screen?

The redacted word is "wiki". We should look up the history of QFG and why the name was changed from Hero's Quest.

The saurus is a random encounter. But since you said it's not in the forest, it must be the saurus in the opening title screen.

The energizer bunny was another thing that was removed from a Sierra game.

YES!


You'd never get bored in this game;
I am three in one! <--- three in one is a reference to the three classes
But you will know me by another name <-- not Quest for Glory (the series name)
No need for more cars, or whatever, for this to be done! <-- a reference to the Hero Quest board game: HeroQuest, is an adventure board game created by Milton Bradley in conjunction with the British company Games Workshop in 1989, and re-released in 2021. The game is loosely based around archetypes of fantasy role-playing games: the game itself was actually a game system, allowing the gamemaster (called "Morcar" and "Zargon" in the United Kingdom and North America respectively) to create dungeons of their own design using the provided game board, tiles, furnishings and figures.

Once again, I am being tricky
And maybe you can find help if you look in a redacted!? <-- a hint to "wiki" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HeroQuest and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quest_for ... evelopment

Hold on, do I hear the sounds of an approaching Saurus? <--- this was a hint about the saurus on the opening screen that the hero chases, then chases the hero

When I am but am not Quest for Glory? <-- all clues to Sierra lawsuits; since you knew it was "Quest for Glory" the "I am but am not Quest for Glory" was the answer.

*head-desks*

I saw this last night, when I returned from a late-night rehearsal, having been up and on my feet for 16 hours.

I simply did not have the energy to try and work this out.

Congrats, NBS!

Okay, I was never going to get that "more car" reference.

I'll post something in a little bit.

Yeah, I knew that would initially be obscure - but as guesses were made, I'd make it more and more clear.

More cars? Morcar? Oh, a pun.

I hate you.

Okay, guess away:

I'm in the other one
I am nonsense and easy
But what the [censored] am I?!

Are you in a game series that only has two games?

(I'm in the other one)

Are ye in a game with the word "Quest" somewhere in the title?

Yes

Is there more than 3 in the series (if it's even a series... we know there's not only two... could be one could be more)

Yes

Are you in a game that takes place on Earth (that should make it Police Quest, otherwise Quest for Glory or King's Quest)?

Don't forget Space Quest! A series well-known for featuring horrible, horrible deaths -- but mostly, if Roger does something stupid! And sometimes, even if he doesn't!

NBS, does the game you're in have a mock-medieval feel (aka KQ or QfG)?
