===''Goblins Quest 3'' (1993)===
''Goblins Quest 3'' was originally known as just ''Goblins 3'', but after Sierra got involved they decided to add the ''[[quest (gaming)|Quest]]'' suffix in an attempt to align the game with their other Quest series: ''[[King's Quest]]'', ''[[Police Quest]]'' and ''[[Space Quest]]''.

In this game the player controls originally only one Goblin called Blount,<ref name="MobyGamesGoblinsQuest3">{{cite web|url=http://www.mobygames.com/game/goblins-quest-3 |title=''Goblins Quest 3'' |access-date=2009-02-12 |publisher=[[MobyGames]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080227152555/http://www.mobygames.com/game/goblins-quest-3 |archive-date=27 February 2008}}</ref> but gets assistance from a number of sidekicks throughout the game including Chump the parrot, Ooya the magician, and Fulbert the snake. Blount is also bitten by a wolf early in the game and, after escaping from the afterlife, must contend with semi-frequent metamorphoses into a super-strong but uncouth werewolf alter ego. Most areas in ''Goblins 3'' are larger than the screen and therefore scroll. The game features 18 different levels, and like ''Gobliins 2: The Prince Buffoon'', some are interconnected to each other (e.g., walking from the countryside to the inn) whilst others cannot be exited until the player has finished that specific level. Later in the game, the player discovers that the main protagonist, Blount, was in fact the little prince that was kidnapped in ''Gobliins 2: The Prince Buffoon''.

''Computer Gaming World'' concluded that it would be a good game for new adventurers, and all players would enjoy the "charming characters and goofy plot elements".<ref name="james199407">{{Cite magazine|last=James|first=Jeff|date=July 1994|title=Blount Goblin, Ace Reporter |url=http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/index.php?year=1994&pub=2&id=120 |magazine=Computer Gaming World |pages=52, 53}}</ref>
