This is a great site for any game or program if you have lost the manual:

I searched for "quest for glory" it came up with:

Quest for Glory Anthology & Quest for Glory V, so it may be in the anthology one, I'm d/l it at the moment, 9MB and the site is really slow, about the speed of a dial-up.

I'll edit the post if I get the answer from it, otherwise, there's the link, it's a great link, worth keeping for future reference.

Edit: Yep, the codes were there, I think this is what you need:

QFG2. The all time greatest. I still never played 5 though.

Well i actually never was found of Sierra, I'm the LEC type, but recently i have downloaded Jones in the fast lane and LSL 3 and 6, tho i didnt like the interface in the LSL i'll try Jones... we'll see

[MonkeySpank]

I liked Jones very much.. I used to play it with my brother and two sisters.. Lots of fun..

[Sluggo]

The Laura Bow series is one of my favorites, I guess the Dagger of Amon Ra more than the first. It had a better story anyway. LSL is great also, but just the first three, the others were kind of dumb, but amusing in their own sort of way. LSL3 was my favorite, it's so great! I think that game has some of my favorite copy protection stuff. Follow the bouncing fruit!

Thanks Timosity, I'll be able to get some potions now I guess...

Now I just need to find something to slow down my computers speed so it dosen't freak out in some parts...

The best game (that I've played) by Sierra of all time? Quest for Glory IV. Simply for the atmosphere. It MADE me fear going out at night and having to face the crap out there, in the game that is. It was realistic, yet fantasty at the same time. The characters were so well drawn and realized that I fell in love with the game instantly.

After that, the Space Quest series for its humor, sci-fi-ness, and great series storyline. Then King's Quest for the same reason. They're all great.

gabriel knight rocks !!!!

I am one of the biggest sierra fnas here, so here goes:
King's quests: They have always been revolutionary to the gaming world. My favourites are 3-7, and tierra's remakes. KQ8 sucked.
Quests for glory: Great replayability, my favourite one is "Shadows of darkness", though I ever finished it because of my buggy version.
Gabriel Knights: Awesome story-telling, which causes me not to see the border between reality and fiction. Also, the best music in an adventure game, by Robert Holmes.
Leisure Suit Larrys: Great humour, nice puzzles. My fave were 2,3 and 7
Conquests: Maybe the best historically based games ever. I like the non-linearity in conquests of the longbow.
Space quests: Without a doubt, sq3 is the best. Wonderful humour, original puzzles. Also, the plot of sq3 is hillarious.
Gold Rush: This is one of the first non-linear games. I love it - it has strong plot, nice puzzles and the atmosphere is just great. Sad there isnt a sequel.
Laura bows: I liked the first more, because it is more innovative. The second one is also good, but it is too much of a regular adventure.
eco quests: Wonderful games, though less-know. I plyed them when I was about 11. These are THE educational games I like.
Police quests: Good games, very realistic in my opinion.
Manhunters: Great games, though they may seem weird to some of you.
I also like Freddy pharkas a lot, because of the outstandingly funny atmosphere.

I am much older than you. I lived these days at my adolescence when the adventures rule. (29 years old)

I'm a huge Sierra and Lucas Adv Fan

For me the bests are:

1)GK Series
2)Larry Series
3)Police Quest Ser.
4)Heart of China
5) Conquest of Camelot
6)Codename Iceman

All of them w/o arcade sessions. Because arcade in adventures sucks. I like pure adventures

[Lazy Z]

I'm not exactly the biggest Sierra fan around, but I've always loved the Gabriel Knight and Quest for Glory games. If I had to choose one series, it'd be the GK one, but I still haven't played QFG2 and 4 (which most people consider the best in the series), so I can't say for sure.

[Temporary]

For me, Sierra will always be in the shadows of allmighty LucasArts, but nonetheless I've enjoyed quite a few of their titles:

Laura Bow: The Colonel's Bequest was the first adventure game I ever played (on my friend's Amiga 500), and although I haven't played it since I think it was a very decent game. And being my first adventure game it will always have a special place in my ..eeh.. mind.

The LSL series were quite hilarious, although they kept getting poorer until they finally decided to end it all. The first ones were great, but if you replace the locations and babes there weren't much of a difference really.

I really enjoyed the Gabriel Knight games too, which had great stories. That is the first two games of course, number three I REALLY HATE! I think GK3 is very much too blame for the lack of "newcomers" to the adventure genre, coz if it had been my first adventure game I really don't think I would've been tempted to try another one. In my opinion, an adventure game is supposed to give you a rewarding feeling when you solve the puzzles, but instead I ripped out most of my hair... (EDIT: Not that it is too hard or anything, I just don't share Jane Jensen's sense of logic (super-strength scotch tape)  : )

But hey, it could be just me....

my favorite is Kings Quest 4. The graphics were a welcome change at the time, and i just loved everything about it. I think the music was great too.

[xenogia]

My favs are:

Gabriel Knight 2 and 3
Leisure Suit Larry 2
Police Quest (all of em) but number 4 is a bit of a let down (no Jim Walls)
Phantasmagoria 2
Space Quest 3 and 4

[TheSponge]

I guess I prefer the lucas arts style interface, but I played SQ4 (my first adventure game) Before any lucas arts games, so it never really bothered me at the time, cause I didn't know of any other interfaces And I can't see  someone hating a great game cause of the interface, when it has so many other strengths. Heres my list.

1. Space Quest series (First I ever played, and ive always been a huge fan, my fave is SQ4)

2. Quest for Glory

3. KQ

[Domino]

oh man, i forgot about Gold Rush. That was one awesome game back then, and how much i would love to play it again. Next to KQ4, i would have to say that Gold Rush is my favorite Sierra Adventure Game.
