But as development went on, they ended up creating a hybrid graphic adventure/RPG game.īut a year after the original release, Sierra was forced to change its name to Quest for Glory to avoid confusion with the board game Hero Quest by Milton Bradley (which was adapted into a different computer game that we’ll also review at a later date). Instead of reviewing another typical graphic adventure, I decided to review a mix of two of my favourite genres (graphic adventure and RPG): Quest for Glory (originally known as Hero’s Quest). Hero’s Quest: So You Want to Be a Hero is a RPG/graphic adventure originally released in 1989 for DOS, a year later for Atari ST and Amiga and in 1991 for the PC-98.Ĭorey and Lori Ann Cole were two designers at Sierra who are avid D&D fans and one day, they pitched the idea to the Williams of creating a RPG game using the SCI0 engine. For part of an Adventure Sierra retrospective, I decided to do something different.
