Description
Do you want to be a hero? If so, then there is a good job waiting for you! Here is the little town of Spielburg, populated mostly by beer-drinking humans and some centaurs who like working in the field. Spielburg is surrounded by forests and mountains, where all kinds of weird creatures dwell: ogres, goblins, talking foxes, stupid magicians, and others. Lately, Spielburg has been assaulted by brigands; besides, the witch Baba Yaga is not to be trusted. The town has everything it needs, even a Thieves Guild, except a strong, brave hero that would protect it. Are you interested?
"Hero's Quest" (renamed later to "Quest for Glory" for copyright reasons) is an adventure/RPG hybrid. Visually very similar to other Sierra's "quest" titles (
Space Quest,
Leisure Suit Larry, and others), but the gameplay, beside the usual exploration, conversations with characters, and solving an occasional puzzle, involves real-time combat and character development. You can play the game as either a fighter, a mage, or a thief. The choice of class will influence not only the combat, but also many other events in the game. You develop your skills by fighting, practicing, climbing, throwing, etc. Many of those activities are necessary to successfully complete the game. You interact with the game world by typing commands or conversation topics.
Alternate Titles
- "英雄傳奇" -- Chinese title (Traditional)
- "Quest For Glory: So You Want To Be A Hero" -- Re-release title

Trivia
Some people preferred to complete the game using this version -- opposed to the one remade in glorious VGA -- because you could allocate magic points for any character class you chose, guaranteeing a somewhat powerful character for the rest of the series.
