from 1983 and if you were sober and tried reading it - that was rare. (the type literally jumped - quite a bit - you needed a quart of rum to read it)
Sierra was arguably the #1 studio for adventure games in the 80s and 90s. No other company created as many iconic titles. Best known for King's Quest, Space Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry, Sierra also published the Quest for Glory series, the first of which was "So You Want to Be a Hero" from 1989.
Originally released as Hero's Quest (name rights were an issue), it is a hybrid adventure/RPG set in the cursed valley barony of Spielburg. You play a customizable adventurer: a fighter, magic-user, or thief. The stats and RPG elements were a new element, diverting quite a bit from the more traditional Sierra adventures.
The land suffers under a curse from the evil ogress Baba Yaga. Your tasks are to explore the town and wilderness, solve puzzles, train skills, fight enemies, complete side quests (helping locals, fetching items), and build up your character's stats.
@birdscolour56 A bit of an aviary - due to their insane (well everthing) Hummers think of us like we do starfish - they move very slowly. 3 billion statues - right now
