The rather prophetic countercurse that one day may redeem the Baron involves a Hero coming from the east. Fortunately for von Speilburg, as the wizard Erasmus explains, for each curse there is an equal and opposite countercurse. This well-organized group of rogues settled in the valley, occasionally robbing its inhabitants and preventing all trade, ruining local economy. The Baron's indifference led to the degradation of the Royal Guard, and eventually no sufficient armed forces were available to prevent an invasion of brigands. Even the court jester, Yorick, left the Baron in search of young Elsa, who was only eight years old when she was kidnapped. Struck with grief, Von Spielburg started living as a recluse, neglecting his leadership duties and refusing to see anyone. In response to his aggression, Baba cursed the Baron, who subsequently lost his son Barnard and daughter Elsa under mysterious circumstances. "I have come to Spielburg to become a Hero."įirst released in 1989 under the title Hero's Quest, but renamed Quest for Glory before the VGA remake three years later, So You Want To Be A Hero is based on the tale of an unfortunate Baron Stefan von Spielburg, who sought to drive the evil ogress Baba Yaga from his barony over a decade earlier.

What I care about is playing adventure games that strive to be challenging, innovative and enthralling.
Riding logs in Leisure Suit Larry III didn't annoy me, nor did fighting Nazis in the Indiana Jones games. Personally, I've lost interest in the debate about what is "true" adventure. Quest for Glory is often mentioned in the same breath with Sierra's other acclaimed adventure series, while in contrast, some gamers dismiss it as an obvious RPG hybrid.
