AdventureQuest was one of the first free games I came across on the interwebs. It is fitting that I should get back into it at the time of starting this blog. AdventureQuest is flash-based online single-player RPG. You create an account, fight some monsters, do quests, and buy new equipment.

Unlike normal RPGs, AdventureQuest doesn't have near as much story or dialog. It is more action based. It's online nature means new things get added very often to keep you interested in playing.

One thing that irks me about this game is they have a setup where it is free but it can only have a certain number of free users online at one time. If you want to play when it is full, you have to have a premium account for a one time fee.

MechQuest is just like AdventureQuest except it uses a sci-fi theme. The battle system is also slightly different. It's also fairly new, so there isn't as quite as much to do yet but since AdventureQuest can be a bit overwhelming I recommend trying MechQuest first. MechQuest also doesn't seem to have the user restriction that AdventureQuest does.

There are also some other games and minigames on their website.
