A ROBLOX Quest: Quest to the Guest

A ROBLOX Quest: Quest to the Guest is a Roblox adventure game created by radiogamer, and supported by Polyhex (TylerMcBride at the time), Nottinylil and BoIdGiraffe (Cloud38 at the time). Players go on an adventure to collect Orbs and to stop Phantom Orb from taking over Robloxia.

Story
One day, there was a normal Guest being bullied by three other Robloxians. The bullies then see Guest crying at a tree, and they trick Guest into thinking that they're going to say sorry to him, and they instead attempt to beat him up, which causes Guest to flee into a cave, with Phantom Orb being inside the cave, along with the bullies waiting for Guest to come out of the cave. Phantom Orb then manipulates Guest into becoming evil by saying that if Guest touches him, then all of his problems will be taken care of. As Phantom Orb flees, Guest explodes the cave that he was in with his new evil superpowers without being harmed, leaving the bullies shocked and scared. As the three Robloxians beg for Guest to not harm them, Guest proceeds to harm the bullies anyway, however, it is suggested that the bullies got killed, due to how the screen censors itself out because of it being "Too cruel to see". With Phantom Orb's new henchmen now causing havoc throughout Robloxia, Phantom Orb now has control over Robloxia, and it's up to the player to complete two side quests, recover Guest, and defeat Phantom Orb. The player ventures through five main worlds, along with Abandon Mansion, Ice Place, Evil Guest's Lair, and One final thing..., which is Phantom Orb's showdown, and the player can obtain items such as Orbs and Lives. Once the player has twenty Orbs, they can confront Evil Guest, and achieve one of the last Orbs. If the player has thirty-one Orbs, they and Guest can go and confront Phantom Orb at his arena in his Robloxian form. However, once Phantom Orb is defeated, he makes one last attempt to kill both Guest and the player by causing the arena to blow up, however, Guest manages to save both himself and the player by touching Phantom Orb, which only causes him and the player to get knocked out, rather than being killed. Fred can then be seen waiting for the player to wake up, and as the player wakes up, they go to Rubert, Dr. Rad, George, and Guest, with the latter also having woken up as well. Dr. Rad then makes Guest his assistant, and everyone proceeds to rest. With all of the Orbs obtained now, along with both side quests completed, the player then attempts the GrandMaster Challenge and obtains the Orb+.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The thumbnail is decent, and while it has aged a bit and is a bit misleading, it does attempt to introduce a few of the characters in the game, mainly just Dr. Rad and Fred however, and Fred can be seen holding a Health Potion.
 * 2) The introduction and ending was a bit wholesome at the time, since that it shows Guest getting bullied by three Robloxian's, only to then find Phantom Orb hiding in a cave to possess Guest, and this causes Guest to presumably kill the three bullies. The ending also shows Guest sacrificing himself to save Robloxia while the player shouts to Guest telling him to not sacrifice himself, only to then be revealed that Guest didn't die, but he needs some potions to be completely recovered, and that he helped saved Robloxia.
 * 3) The plot was unique for its time, since that it involved Phantom Orb possessing Guest to take over the world for him, rather than having doing it himself. As stated earlier, once Phantom Orb's defeated, Guest proceeds to sacrifice himself so that him and the player won't die as Phantom Orb's arena explodes. There's also a nice plot twist where it's revealed that Guest managed to make it out safely, but he needs some Potions to be completely recovered. Thankfully, Fred and George take care of this issue for the player instead.
 * 4) The graphics are nice, especially for 2009 standards, and throughout time, the graphics were updated so that more materials could be seen in the game, such as slate and ice.
 * 5) The game hardly lags, and in the game's files, there's even an anti-lag script that helped make the game run smoother, although it's presumed to not work anymore.
 * 6) This was the first Roblox adventure game to introduce a saving system, since that this game released in 2009, but unfortunately, the saving system has broke due to Roblox updates.
 * 7) The characters are pretty likeable in their own ways, such as Fred being a greedy yet kind Robloxian, and Dr. Rad being a smart and kind, yet very serious Robloxian.
 * 8) There are multiple mechanics to make the gameplay more interesting, such as launch stars that can fling the player to certain locations, and pull stars that the player can click onto to go to the pull star itself.
 * 9) This game is one of the few Roblox games that rewards the player twice for going through a tutorial. The player can obtain two Orbs by going through the Tutorial House, and by going through the training course.
 * 10) There are thirty-three Orbs for the player to collect, which is a lot for 2009 standards, and you don't need all thirty-three of them to finish the game, and this also greatly encourages 100% completion as well, since you only need twenty Orbs to defeat Guest.
 * 11) There are nine badges in this game that can either be obtained by either normally playing the game, reaching a certain limit of items, or by finding a secret, and this also adds some replay value to the game.
 * 12) There are a few items that the player can buy from Fred and George that can help the player in their quest, such as offering Orb Hints, or a Health Potion.
 * 13) While the boss fights are identical to each other, they each rely on a different method to defeat them.
 * 14) * Ice Guest requires the player to spawn timed platforms with two buttons to reach a slingshot to defeat Ice Guest.
 * 15) * Mecha Guest requires the player to lure him into acid to burn him. Mecha Guest later reappears in Blastbang Volcano and in The Arena in A ROBLOX Quest: Elements of Robloxia as an enemy.
 * 16) * Guest has a sword that does extra damage to the player, and he occasionally does a quake attack that the player must jump over, and the player must slice Guest until he's defeated.
 * 17) * Phantom Orb has a sword as well, and he can perform three quake attacks at once, and he requires the player to run behind him to grab a golden sword, and the player must hit him until he's defeated while waiting for his shield to wear off sometimes.
 * 18) This game is pretty long for a Roblox adventure game, especially for 2009 standards, since that this game can take around one hour to complete, which had multiple players coming back to this game for a second playthrough before the saving system broke as stated earlier.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Minor False Advertising: As stated earlier, while the thumbnail does look nice for its time, it shows Fred in a different outfit that isn't seen in the game, and it also shows him holding a Health Potion in his hand, despite only George selling Health Potions in the game.
 * 2) * Even if it's actually George in the thumbnail instead of Fred, it'd still be misleading, as George never wears a Visor in the game, and his shirt also has a slightly different design in the game as well.
 * 3) Despite this game's sequels getting updates from time to time, this game was instead left alone, even after the remakes of both this game and its first sequel, A ROBLOX Quest: Bloxxy-Tooie, were cancelled, along with how this game's first sequel and one of its spinoffs, A ROBLOX Quest: The Big T(h)reat (also known as Halloween 2013: The Big T(h)reat), were receiving bug fixes, and this led to a few of the mechanics being broken and remaining broken, such as the slingshot flying in only one direction in the Ice Guest boss fight in world 2, Brickland Coast, and the launch stars in Super ROBLOX Galaxy in world 5, Rainbow Space, being very slow.
 * 4) There are a few grammar errors scattered throughout the game, such as when you collect an Orb, a message pops up that says "Congratulation, you found:", instead of being "Congratulations, you found:", and the game's prologue and epilogue and badge descriptions also have plenty of grammar errors as well.
 * 5) The world names are a bit tricky to read, since other bricks block the world names, which will most likely require the player to angle their camera to see the world name.
 * 6) * To make matters worse, the Riddling pyramide Orb in world 3, Heat Desert has a question that requires the player to know the name of the world itself, and answering the question incorrectly will cause the player to die.
 * 7) As stated earlier, the boss fights are identical to each other, and mostly require using similar methods to kill each of them.
 * 8) This game has a lives system, and while this might not seem like a big deal, the player only has three lives at the start of the game, and while they can earn more lives to make the game easier to play, some sections of the game such as Super ROBLOX Galaxy are a bit long, and it can be annoying having to restart a few of these areas. To make matters worse, the saving system has also broke throughout time as stated earlier in WIR #6, meaning that players will have to finish this game in one go nowadays.

Reception
The game was highly praised for its gameplay and length when it first released. The game has also become a very important icon in the world of Roblox adventures, along with its sequels. The game currently has around 290,000 Visits, around 15,700 favorites, and a like and dislike ratio of around 700 likes to around 120 dislikes.
