HeroQuest

HeroQuest (1991)

by 221B Software Development, Gremlin Graphics Software Ltd., Krisalis Software
Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Adventure, Strategy, Card & Board Game
Themes:Fantasy
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:The famous fantasy-themed board game was converted into an isometric-viewed role playing game in which the evil Wizard Morcar must be defeated. You take control of a wizard, a dwarf, a barbarian and an elf, each with different strengths and weaknesses, who each start the 14 missions from opposite sides of the board. Strict turn-based movement rules apply, as actions other than movement can only be carried out before or after the move, the size of which is limited by a dice roll. These moves are carried out using an icon-based system. Characters can fight the many monsters which lurk, or cast spells to vanquish them. There are magic potions to uncover, but also hidden traps, so mapping is advised. Treasure can be collected, and traded at the shop after each level.Show more

I had the board game many years ago. I would set up a board game with the traps and goblins and Orcs and all the finery of the game. We would play for hours. Please bring this game and every game really to the GOG site. My thanks.

The best thing about HeroQuest is this DOS game. My childhood is filled with countless of hours of playing the board game by myself so this game perfectly emulates that experience.
