Now, I don't think this game is tragic. In fact, I think it's a wonderful game. One of the best games I've ever played. The entire Goblins Quest series was nothing short of brilliantly comedic, irreverent and manicly insane (but in a good way,) and this one was probably the best of the bunch. You play as a goblin named Blount (and later a number of other characters, such as Wynowna, Wolfy, Ooya, Fulbert, Chump, Left hand, Right hand, Bizoo and so forth) who's ship is downed by a flying rock, and as a journalist, he must escape the ship and get to the bottom of this. This leads him to fall in love with the beautiful (for a goblin) Wynowna, which in turn, leads him on a mission to bring peace between the warring monarches King Bod and Queen Xena.This game is an adventure/puzzle game, which means you play as a relatively nonviolent character whose goal is not to smash things or kill bad guys, but overcome the enemies and situations he finds himself in by using his brain to solve logic puzzles. For example, you want to pick up an onion, but every time you try, you wind up in tears, so the solution is to put on spectacles. That way, you're protected by the onion's harmful fumes.
A hundred such crazy puzzles litter this wonderful and complex game.
But the sad truth is that I doubt anyone will ever get the chance to play it again. This game was released for MS DOS, and ever since Bill Gates killed MS DOS by upgrading everyone to Windows 98, then later XP, no one has been able to hold onto their old sound and graphics cards, without which this game presents a host of compatability problems.
This game belongs to an older generation of games. One where you didn't have to go around beating stuff up all the time. Just being smart and clever and able to think of things in new ways was enough to earn you victory.
If the Goblins Quest series, as well as the King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest and Quest for Glory series were only re-coded to work for Windows XP, you know something? I would buy every one, even if they each cost sixty bucks, because I'm into that sort of thing. I only wish there was a way for this old, precious genre to be somehow revived.
