  • Quest for Glory is a series of hybrid role-playing/adventure computer games designed by Corey and Lori Ann Cole. The series combined humor, puzzle elements, themes and characters borrowed from various legends, puns, and memorable characters, creating a 5-part series of the Sierra stable. Although the series was originally titled Hero's Quest, Sierra failed to trademark the name. Milton Bradley successfully trademarked an electronic version of their unrelated joint Games Workshop board game, HeroQuest, which forced Sierra to change the series' title to Quest for Glory. This decision caused all future games in the series (as well as newer releases of Hero's Quest I) to switch over to the new name.
  • Bei Quest for Glory handelt es sich um eine Adventure-Serie mit Rollenspielelementen, die von Corey und Lori Cole entwickelt wurde. Die einzelnen Spiele verbinden Humor, Rätsel, Charaktere und Rollenspiel-Elemente, und wurden mit dieser Mischung eine der beliebtesten Spieleserien von Sierra On-Line. Die Reihe besteht aus den folgenden Spielen: "Quest for Glory I" wurde ursprünglich unter dem Namen "Hero's Quest I: So you want to be a Hero" veröffentlicht, aufgrund eines Urheberrecht-Konfliktes mit dem Brettspiel HeroQuest später in "Quest for Glory" umbenannt. In jedem Teil der Serie wird der Spieler in eine Fantasiewelt versetzt, die von verschiedenen Kulturen und deren Mythen beeinflusst sind (in folgender Reihenfolge: Europäische Märchen, Arabien/Naher Osten/1001 Nacht, Afrikanisch, Osteuropäisch, Griechisch). Die größte Neuerung, die "Quest for Glory" brachte, war die Kombination aus Rollenspiel und Grafik-Adventure. Während bei ersterem traditionell die Verbesserung der Charakterwerte im Vordergrund stand und bei letzterem Rätsel und Geschichte, vereinte "Quest for Glory" beide Welten zu gleichen Anteilen. Der Rollenspielanteil der Serie zeigt sich daran, dass der Spieler einen Charakter erschaffen kann, wobei man zwischen Kämpfer, Magier und Dieb wählen kann. Diese drei Klassen haben unterschiedliche Eigenschaften und Fähigkeiten, die im Spiel trainiert werden können, und sich auch stark auf den Spielverlauf auswirken. Für viele Rätsel gibt es unterschiedliche Lösungswege, die auf bestimmte Charaktere abgestimmt sind. Die Identifikation des Spielers mit seinem Helden wurde noch gesteigert, da ein Charakter nach Lösen des Spieles in das nächste Spiel der Reihe importiert werden konnte.
  • Quest for Glory is a series of hybrid Fantasy RPG/Adventure games originally produced by Sierra On-Line. The franchise is currently owned by Activision Blizzard.
  • So, you want to be a hero? Back in the 80s and throughout the 90s, Sierra was big in adventures. We had King's Quest, Police Quest, Space Quest and everything you could stick a "Quest" to (and a couple of other ones). What most of these have in common, though, was that they used variants on the same engine and thus had the same game play, first using the parser ("get item") then using a more "traditional" (for adventures) point and click interface. One series that differed a bit from this formula, however, was the Quest for Glory series, using a Mix And Match of Adventure and RPG. But that was not everything; the games also were a brilliant (and hilarious) Affectionate Parody of the adventure genre and had a very strong continuity despite being spread out over the course of nine years. Originally called Hero's Quest, before copyright issues with Milton Bradley resulted in them changing the name. Planned originally as a quartet of games, Quest for Glory follows the adventures of an unnamed hero, from his very first trials to the point where he finally becomes a true hero - and beyond. The series is well remembered by fans for its ability to seamlessly combine epic fantasy stories often of surprising complexities with unique and colorful locations and surreal humor worthy of a Lucasarts game into one strong package. The games are, in chronological order: * Quest for Glory I: So You Want To Be A Hero? * Quest for Glory II: Trial by Fire * Quest for Glory III: Wages Of War * Quest for Glory IV: Shadows Of Darkness * Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire Quest for Glory was created and designed by husband-wife couple Lori Ann Cole and Corey Cole. They have tried to buy the rights to the series from Sierra (now swallowed by a network of larger companies), though to no avail. Their homepage can be visited at The entire series can be purchased at Good Old Games. The second game has a VGA fan remake that is compatible with modern computers.
