Goblins Quest 3

DOS - 1993
Also released on: Amiga

The last game in Coktel's puzzle adventure series is a very disappointing title that's not worthy of the name.

As the title suggests, you control only one goblin this time around since there is only one "i" in the title. The absence of co-ordination puzzles is made up by the sheer amount of puzzles and increased difficulty-- so much so that the game is near impossible to solve without hints or a lot of patience.

What makes the game very frustrating is a number of puzzles that you simply cannot solve without a lot of trial-and-error. For instance, in the second scene you must get through several bad guys. The only way to do that is to randomly try each item you have on each guy until one works-- each guy needs one particular item, but there is no way to deduce which one. No clue whatsover.

If you're a masochist, have a lot of free time on your hands, or want to burn your brain cells at a faster rate, then Goblins 3 might be for you. The rest of us are advised to stay away and play the first 2 games in the series instead.

WTF is that review? Who on earth considers this game disappointing or the worst of the series? What a garbage review, it doesn't deserve to be set as the description for this classic. I beat this game when I was like 10 and "HOTUD" is acting like this is The Limbo of the Lost. Get out of here with that.

A really great game. Full of puzzles that at first look quite illogical but after a while you find a reason with them

Best Goblin game! Puzzles are just about right. Not too easy, not too difficult. Just about right and pretty logical... Funny and wonderfull!

Unbelievable how after 20 years, with all current games requiring tons and tons of disk space, RAM, VRAM and generations of MS OSs, this simple game is still very fun to play!

I had a Pentium 75 and Win95 at that time. Don't remember RAM, but the game was a little slow on that :)
Should've tried it under MS-DOS without booting Win95, I wonder if that made any difference.

My goodness.
I played this game with my father when I was still a child. We'd work together to solve the hilarious puzzles.
I've been looking over and over and over for it.
It's been at least a decade.
So glad to have it again.

Huh, screenshots look more familiar. I think I had this one, must have gotten it confused with Gobliiins.
