Hero's Quest: So You Want to Be a Hero is a charming blend of role-playing and adventure that gently nudges you into a world where saving the day involves as much thinking as it does fighting. The tone is light, often playful, and occasionally self-aware, as if the game knows you are learning the ropes and finds it amusing. Its systems encourage experimentation, rewarding curiosity in ways that feel organic rather than forced. There is a warmth to its storytelling that makes even small victories feel meaningful. It is less about epic spectacle and more about the journey, which is refreshing in its own quiet way.

    By far the most underrated videogame of all time. This game is where it all started for me. Taught me to read, write, and type at a very early age. I go back and play it any time I'm feeling down and the wash of nostalgia invigorates me. I'm 39 now so ive been playing it over and over for approx 35 years I've been playing this game. Unfortunately first person games and the advent of 3D engines...and the low attention span of the average consumer - these games just....disappeared. They simply don't do it this way anymore. And that's an absolute tragedy ... Someone needs to code a modern engine like this one (keep the pixel graphics) and make massive complex adventure games like this on steroids. Have deep rpg elements. Upgrading gear and stats tonnes of proceedurally generated items and artifacts that change every time you play. Have GTP3 A.I. for the NPCs so that you have to type in questions to get quest clues and conversate but their answers are almost as dynamic as a humans due to this open source free tech anyone can use (I think). Please for the love of god...someone make this game I've envisioned since I was a little boy. Godspeed.

    I fist played this game after finding it at Tandy Computer Store in '91 and I was hooked on it! I haven't seen it since I converted to Windows ops in '95!
