My parents wouldn't let me own a Nintendo 64 at the time that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was a huge hit that was everyone's obsession. I had this instead, and it was a game I played an absurd amount of.
It was one of my first games, and after replaying it recently, I can easily say that it still holds up! Not only do the stylized graphics look good, the music is very pleasant, and the gameplay and story are compelling without being overwhelming! On top of that, it's a great piece of history, one of the first video games made by the studio that would later revolutionize the market with games like Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. Absolute blast, would love to have it brought back to the modern audiences! Especially kids I'm sure would love this, I know I did as a kid.
The Playmobil were my favorite toys growing up. I remember one day, when I was 10 years old (I believe) and I was browsing through the website of a bookstore that sold games(!) - Those were the days - I remember I discovered a game featuring the Playmobil and the character was a knight. I became interested at first, but then I forgot its name. Some months later, it was in January and I was already 11 years old, I was again browing through this same site. Then I saw a game titled "Hype: The Time Quest". At first, I didn't realize this was the game I was looking for. I only remembered that I had seen cheats for this game in a gaming magazine and I decided to check what this game was about. Imagine my surprise when it turned out it was the Playmobil game. I immediately asked my father to buy. It arrived at a short time and it soon became my favorite game. It is still my favorite game. The gameplay is very good, the characters are endearing and the story is surprisingly adult for a game meant for children. Not adult because it features extreme violence, but the themes that are dealt in the story and the way they are dealt are very adult. The Dragon who was disillusioned with humanity and changed his mind because of his friendship with the hero; the brigand girl who was raised with stories about the hero and was in love with him, but let him go to meet his true love; the warrior who decided to become a monk, because one day he was drunk, fell on the moat, and almost drowned if not for a monk who saved him, even though this monk knew who he was. All these characters, these plot points, make the game come alive and become much more than simply a game for children. I really hope it is brought back so we can play it easily in modern PCs and more people can appreciate it for what it has to offer.
Ah yes... the nostalgia.
Hype: The Time Quest is, simply put, an important part of my childhood. It's one of these games, that delivers a classic and epic adventure you will forever remember.
Despite taking place in a Playmobil world, or maybe because of it (?), this game does surprise you in every way with its magical and fantasy/medieval atmosphere, thanks to, but not only, the outstanding voice acting and soundtrack. The characters and evolving world you encounter in this game will take your heart by storm, something many modern games today are failing to achieve. It's an action-adventure game, very similar to games like the beloved Zelda, in particular Ocarina of Time. Yes, it was even called the Zelda for PC back then by some magazines. It has everything in it. An epic story with twists, puzzles, action, magic, dragon riding(!). Fun fact: People like the creative director (?) for Assassins Creed (1/2) were involved in creating this game which explains a lot about the soul and love that can be found in it.
While playable on modern systems after jumping through some hoops (I've even made a guide for the Steam Deck on YT), being able to buy and play this game ootb on a modern system with modern controller support would be a dream coming true. Please GOG, bring it back!
The very first purchased box game I ever played. Until then, it was only demos and shareware that was included with the PC. It was 25-ish years ago, and I still remember the day my father came home with it, and how much we played it together.
Well, he played it, technically, because I was afraid of playing "fast" games like that. It was all RTSes and city builders for me lol
I'd love to be able to play it again. There are still some spells that I never figured out how to get! I have since lost the original copy and purchased two used ones (completely forgot I bought one, and so I bought it again 😂) but it really doesn't want to run on modern PCs...
Most wonderful game ever played in my life and a dream came true once I could see my favourites toy characters were alive! All were recreated with all kind of details respect to the original esence of Playmobil and stpry is amazing... OST is also a good point to mention so nowadays persist in memories of everyone loved it!
I remember not being able to play this on our pc at home and so we could only play it at my grandparents place. hours of beehive hunting and grinding for money by killing boars, this game is so good and honestly ruins most other adventure games for me becuase my expectations are too high
It was my 2nd game and 1st 3d game ever, as important as Rayman 2. I never completed it because it was too scary, but it's essentially a perfect fantasy adventure. A knight, with magic, riding dragons? Sign me up.
