Hero's Quest: So You Want to Be a Hero

The Good
The story is very immersive, the characters are interesting to talk with, the puzzles are fun to figure out (while building your stats for your particular player,) beautiful midi music/soundfx, beautiful artwork, and entertaining animations (even if they only have 16 colors). I enjoyed the full experience and having 3 player options to choose from makes it all the better.

The Bad
I don't know if this could be considered a bad thing, but typing words in short phrases to advance in the game was a joy for me. It was a challenge to figure out the parsing system, but I loved it. I'm guessing not too many people have the patience for this. The simplicity of the graphics may turn many off as well. The combat system was difficult at times. The game is short and very linear.

The Bottom Line
The fact that this was my first adventure/RPG, already creates a huge bias with nostalgia! It's my all-time-favorite adventure game. If you haven't played this game, you're really missing out!
