It's a code for graphics.

CGA = 4 colours
EGA = 16 colours
VGA = 256 colours
at first glance it looks allright.
It's a bit incorrect though.
ega was technically capable of 64 colors

I could explain pages of difference between the different graphics adapters.
For a very short and more accurate table look here

And what about Tandy? What is Tandy anyway? :?
I often met Tandy when choosing graphics mode or sound in old games, therefore I alway wondered what that might be...

Speaking for myself, I have never played any of the Quest for Glory games, so as soon as I have the time I will. This is gonna be great!
Well what are you waiting for??
You don't know what you are missing :P
I have a question by the way:
Is there a VGA remake of QG 2?
I have the game but it's EGA :x I can't play that
Regarding QG 3, i think it's inferior in terms of quality, compared to QG 1(wich i think is the best adventure game ever made)

There is a VGA remake being made in this moment.

By the same guys who made the remakes for Kings Quest 1 and 2, AGD Interactive (Anonymous Game Developers)

You have something to look forward to :wink:

EGA:


Abbreviation of enhanced graphics adapter, a graphics display system for PCs introduced by IBM in 1984. EGA supports 16 colors from a palette of 64 and provides a resolution of 640 by 350.

totally 64 colors but only 16 active at one time

I don't remember the ending since it's been so long, but since I don't want any spoilers posted, I'll just go play it again once I'm done with all these other games, :wink: . By the way this is me in anticipation for the VGA of quest for glory 2
