Play Quest for Glory I: So You Want To Be A Hero (VGA 94) Online
Pick a class, then watch how the whole town reacts—thieves sneak past guards, mages charm shopkeepers, and fighters just punch their problems. Every dumb little action, from tossing rocks to scrubbing floors, makes you slightly better at surviving this weird, stubborn world.
Quest for Glory I: So You Want To Be A Hero came out in 1992 for MS-DOS, developed and published by Sierra On-Line. It was part of that era where adventure games were transitioning from simple text parsers to more visual, point-and-click interfaces, though this one kept a hybrid approach with its typing and mouse support. You could tell they were trying something different, mixing traditional adventure puzzles with actual RPG mechanics.
You control a custom hero, choosing to be a fighter, magic user, or thief, each with unique ways to solve problems and interact with the town of Spielburg. Your main goal is to prove yourself by completing quests, defeating monsters, and ultimately lifting the curse on the valley. You explore the world screen by screen, engage in simple but strategic combat (sword fighting or casting spells), and delve into dungeons full of traps and secrets. The pacing is slow and deliberate, encouraging you to practice skills and think through each action. It feels like your choices genuinely build a reputation, and the world remembers what you've done.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
