Download Hero's Quest - So You Want To Be A Hero_Disk1 ROM – Amiga Game

Hero’s Quest drops you into Spielburg, this quirky little town where centaurs plow fields and humans mostly just drink beer. But outside the village? Total chaos—ogres, goblins, even a suspiciously chatty fox. And now brigands are causing trouble, so of course everyone’s desperate for a hero. Guess that’s you.

First thing you do? Pick your class—fighter, mage, or thief—and it actually matters. Like, a lot. Thieves can pick locks, mages get weird spells, and fighters just hit things really hard. I went thief my first time and immediately regretted it when an ogre stomped me into the dirt. Lesson learned.

It’s got that classic Sierra point-and-click vibe, but with RPG stuff mixed in. You level skills by actually doing them—swing your sword enough, you get better at it. Climb everything like an over-caffeinated squirrel? Congrats, now you’re a climbing pro. Just don’t forget to eat and sleep, or your hero starts stumbling around like they’ve had one too many of those tavern beers.

Combat’s this weird timed menu thing where you frantically pick attacks or blocks before something caves your skull in. And the puzzles? Some change based on your class, so that thief lockpick skill isn’t just for show. Oh, and Baba Yaga’s lurking around being terrifying, because of course she is.

It’s janky in that old-school way where typing “ask about brigands” to the wrong person gets you stabbed, but that’s half the charm. You’ll either love it or rage-quit before sunset.
