Quest 64 is a role-playing game developed by Imagineer for the Nintendo 64, one of the console’s first traditional RPGs. Playing as apprentice mage Brian, players explore the world of Celtland to recover his master’s stolen spellbook, fighting real-time roaming battles. There are no experience points — casting spells and using elements (earth, water, fire, wind) raises the corresponding stats to grow stronger.
