I first played Quest for Glory I: So You Want To Be A Hero back in the early 90s, when Sierra On-Line was still putting out some of the most memorable adventure games for MS-DOS. It came out in 1992, and it stood out even then for blending traditional point-and-click exploration with genuine RPG mechanics. You weren't just solving puzzles; you were building a character, and that made all the difference.
You control a custom hero, choosing from fighter, thief, or magic-user, and each class opens up different solutions to the game's many challenges. Your goal is to prove yourself by completing quests, battling monsters, and ultimately saving the valley from a dark curse. You explore the world screen by screen, engage in simple but strategic combat, and spend a lot of time practicing skills to improve your stats. The pacing is deliberate, encouraging careful exploration and thoughtful engagement with its world. It feels like a personal journey where your choices genuinely shape the experience.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
