Progress Quest Advance

Introduction

Progress Quest Advance is a next generation computer role-playing game; on the go! Gamers who have played modern online role-playing games, or almost any computer role-playing game, or who have at any time installed or upgraded their operating system, will find themselves incredibly comfortable with Progress Quest Advance's very familiar gameplay. Progress Quest Advance follows reverently in the footsteps of recent smash hit online worlds, but is careful to streamline the more tedious aspects of those offerings. Players will still have the satisfaction of building their character from a ninety-pound level 1 teenager, to an incredibly puissant, magically imbued warrior, well able to snuff out the lives of a barnload of bugbears without need of so much as a lunch break. Yet, gone are the tedious micromanagement and other frustrations common to that older generation of RPG's.

Game controls

Progress Quest Advance belongs to a new breed of "fire and forget" RPG's. There is no need to interact with Progress Quest Advance at all; it will make progress with you or without you.

You should save progress with save states, as the game does not (currently) support in-game saving. Please note that your character will not make any progress except when Progress Quest Advance is running. Your character will make no progress once you quit the program, until you start Progress Quest Advance again and load a save state.
