Fame Quest

Fame Quest is a video game in the adventure genre and published by Braingames originally released in 1984. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

Fame Quest is not a game about becoming a rock star or movie star, but about being a humble Knight in times of yore trying to get enough fame from the land to enter the Royal Court in this adventure game. You have to get out of a castle and explore the land by talking to and helping the locals, as well as fighting wizards, dragons and creatures, in your quest to become a twentieth grade Knight.

The screen is divided into five blocks, one at the top, three in the middle and one at the bottom, which allow you to view various objects and control your Knight. Block one shows you the available actions, such as interacting with your location or moving your Knight, block two shows the person or creature you are interacting with. Block three is a map of the area showing castles, houses, trees and mysterious places, block four shows your knight and the amount of fame needed to increase your fame. Finally, block five shows you the amount of gold and fame you have, as well as the weapons you carry.

You start in a castle and here you have the options of asking for help, buying or upgrading weapons, getting a new knight grade or selling the equipment you have. Once you have made your choices, you can leave the castle and start exploring the terrain. You move north, south, east or west, and as you move you will encounter various people or creatures. You can attack them, run away or talk to them, but you need a weapon if you attack and sometimes you won't be able to run away. If you talk they may give you a quest, ask you for a favor or just attack you. Some actions will lead you to receive more fame but they can also take some away from you.

The buildings you enter can be empty or have a person or creature to interact with. The castles you enter will give you the same options as your initial castle and remember to have food and keep eating or you will weaken and die.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
