Quest for Glory aka Hero’s Quest is a sort of adventure-RPG hybrid game from Sierra. I came to the series very late with part IV. The games employ a good dose of humor from what I have seen. I’ve been meaning to go back to the beginning of the series and now may be the time!
Setup:
ScummVM 1.6.0 Base
Daily Build 5.29.2013
HQ3x Scaling
Fluidsynth enabled
FluidR3 Soundfont

In the valley barony of Spielburg, the evil ogress Baba Yaga has cursed the land and the baron who tried to drive her off. His children have disappeared, while the land is ravaged by monsters and brigands. The Valley of Spielburg is in need of a Hero able to solve these problems. The game advertised itself as “three games in one” since it was the first Sierra game that (according to RPG customs) allowed the selection of a character out of three classes: Fighter, Magic User, and Thief.
