I had the manual and the comic. It still didn't make sense. The shit he explains in the video was far from obvious from the documentation. It just says "Read the comic for clues" or some shit.Quote:

Raiders was completely obvious and logical compared to Swordquest. I actually got to the last room of Raiders, though it was impossibly hard. Pretty awesome game for its day.
SwordQuest's puzzles were based largely around picking up objects and placing them randomly in other rooms, which may or may not silently change the layout of the map. It's completely obscure.
Me and my bro had no problem co-oping Raiders. Like Frog said I also remember the Quest games making no sense whatsoever. You would turn to the page in the book and there would be nothing relevant to the game. So reading the Wiki......could you ever beat the games or were they just made for the contest (find the word, get the sentence)?
2600 Raiders actually holds up pretty well. I finally beat that game in 2008.
That Sword Quest video was great and, thankfully, light on the AVGN's usually rambling of random cursing.
Seemed like a cool series of games, even without the real world prizes.
