Page "Quest for Glory" Paragraph 7

Each game varied somewhat from the tradition it is derived from ; for example, Baba Yaga, a character borrowed from Slavic folklore, first appeared in the first game.

The second game introduced several Arab and African-themed characters who reappeared in the third game, and characters from every game and genre in the series reappeared in the fourth and fifth games.

In addition to deviating from the player's expectations of the culture represented in each game, the series also included a number of intentional anachronisms, such as the pizza-loving, mad scientists in the later games.
