The first game in the series was originally titled "Hero's Quest I: So You Want to Be a Hero." Unfortunately, Sierra and the Coles had neglected
to check for similar names and (I think) Games Workshop made angry noises over the HeroQuest boardgame. So you might be familiar with it under the earlier
title?
Anyway, if you really haven't played them, I suggest you give it a whirl. A five-part journey from correspondence-school novice to serious Hero, with
wacky hijinks, bad puns, thinly disguised classic comedy teams, High Love, True Adventure, and more Maltese Falcons than you can shake a .45 at. Gameplay is a
combination of the standard Sierra pointenclick with a class- and skill-based system in which you can be a Fighter (with Paladin option later), Wizard, or
Thief, or cross-train yourself in whatever combo you can afford.
