    IIRC, the first version of the game was Hero's Quest, changed to the second, Quest for Glory, due to copyright issues with the Hero's Quest board game, and the third version was the VGA with mouse interface upgrade.

    Here's mine. It's the very first line spoken in the game:

    "Way to go Candy! What do we do now, steal a bicycle?"

    Um, I'd say "Maniac Mansion".

    But then I remember that the girl was called Sandy, and can hardly be spoken to, because she is being held captive by Dr. Fred.

    *gets a vision of Dr. Fred asking if they should go steal a bicycle*

    *grins* Nah!

    Was it Earthbound? Can't remember what the girl's name is in that game though.

    Looks like we need some hints.

    Nope, not Earthbound (never played the game), and not Maniac Mansion (it's something MUCH more recent). Though I have to admit the "vision" made me laugh out loud :D

    Hints it is then.

    It's an adventure game, relatively recent (ie last 5 years), and it's spoken by one of the characters right after they crash-land. And, as I said, it's the very first line in the game, during the introductory animation.

    More hints?

    Ok, last round of hints, and if this doesn't work by tomorrow I'll try and come up with an easier one (and I thought this one was easy...)

    Adventure game, released in 2000 by UbiSoft, on 4 CDs. Five aliens crash on Earth (hence the quote), and a mad doctor sends a killer after them to capture them and their spaceship.

    So, anyone? Please...

    EDIT: One more hint. It's based on a cartoon that used to run on TV.

    Am I right?

    Thanks, Ziad!

    Hmmm...let's see. How about this one:

    "They don't make animations like THAT anymore..."

    (the quote is exactly like that. Capital letters and all.)

    sounds like Broken Sword (I've played the second part only), but I'm not sure...

    edit:
    It seems I was right. After posting, I've searched for the quote and found it. Now for you to confirm it and for me to think of a quote...

    Yes, "Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror" it was!

    Now, this was faster than I would have imagined.


    To be exact, it is said by Nico in an easter egg scene (in the old underground station). Poor Robert...


    Your turn, toughluch. :)

    OK, an obscure one...

    "You will do as I say because it must be done, and because right now you are the only one who can do it."

    It is written exactly like that.

    Now don't you tell me I've already killed it! Is it that you want a hint or do you need more time?

    the problem with that quote is it or something similar has been said in numerous super hero cartoons/comics, action movies, FPS's and probably also in some RPG's :)
    So ad least for me, it's hint time :)

    Well, it's precisely that quote (and written exactly like that). In this case:
    Hint #1: It is not any "action" game.
    Hint #2: It is spoken in the very first dialogue in the game.
    If the hints are not enough, I will post one more quote by the same person here.

    I'll guess Starcraft, but I'm quite certain it's not right and I'm also quite certain that a new hint is needed. ;)

    Nope, not Descent. As I said, it is NOT any action (=arcade/fps/tps/etc.) game.

    Addendum:

    Not Starcraft as well.

    Hint #3: This adventure game has been published in the second half of the nineties.
