Hero's Quest: So You Want To Be A Hero

Excellent adventure game from Sierra. The game that was way ahead of its time with a non-linear concept and almost sand-box approach to deal with things. Love it!

If you want the game to work on modern systems, go to gog.com and buy it. it's a few dollars.

I am ready to play.

I review Hero's Quest, So You Want To Be a Hero here: http://youtu.be/LQG9NAkopQA

I think it would be totally awesome since this game was so popular back in the day if they made a Windows version of this and kept it original because I would guaranteed buy it in a heartbeat!!
Anyway you can get this message to the Developers?

Your warmth filled sweet review touched my heart bro'... faraway in India!

I enjoyed this game when it was new, and it's sequels. Shame somebody can't port them to iPad

I downloaded the zip devil and the heros quest game on my MAC, what do i need to do in order to play the game. A browser came up saying to drag files to zid devil dock, what files? I have tried the ones i downloaded, nothing seems to work.

This was so fun, but now I have a huge problem! The end sequence after I win the game kind of freezes. I don't see any scene nor do I get the option to export my character. I made a great character and I just downloaded Trial by Fire and want to use that character there. Can anyone help?!?!? Please tell me I didn't lose this! Would I have to have downloaded from GOG for the character to be importable? Help would be so appreciated! katyotto@gmail.com

best game ever made !!!

My mind was absolutely blown when I first saw this game. It's one of the best ever, hands down. Nothing compares. It totally paved the way for today's adventure/RPG hybrids. Required for all gaming afficionados!

I played the hell out of this game for years and the most amazing part was being able to import your characters throughout the series. Yes you can start as a magic user and gimp to have all skills which makes the game a lot more fun! TRI-CLASS BABY! Import to the 2nd game will glitch and allow you to start as a paladin! Get the whole series!

I played this game many, many times. The repeat playthrough is, for some reason, fun every time.

The music, lore, and humor sticks with you. My love of cultural-references, puns, and mythology stem in large part from this game and its sequels.

In the off-chance that the creators of this game ever read this, thank you. Your creation has given me a lot of joy over the years. Thank you.

if i remember correctly u can choose magic user and spend ur points on thief skills. u start off gimp in both things that way but u can train it all in-world...

A wonderful game!!!
It combined the then-classic graphic adventure genre of Sierra (King's Quest) with a character-developement system of pen-and-paper RPGs. This in itself was WAY beyond time.
But Lori-Ann and Corey Cole, the designers (look out for their "School for Heroes" on the Internet and the Shannara computer game by them) put it into a well-formed background with consistent magic and lore system, spiced it with creatures of mystery and wonder and many, MANY in-joke, puns, and other humourous references.
It is quite a different game as magic user, thief or warrior, more so than the other games of the series - which was planned to have four installments for each classic element (V, Dragon Fire, is not yet abandonware; III, Wages of War, was put in the middle and doesn't deal with a specific element).

Frankly, I like the EGA version better than the VGA version; but as all the other games beginning with III are VGA games, you might want to play it in the VGA version. A VGA version of QFG2, Trial by Fire, was made under license by AGD Interactive and is freeware.
