Man, I used to love all those "Quest" games!

Some of my favourites were Space Quest, The Colonels Bequest, and one I forget the name of, which was set in medieval England (it might have been called "Heroes Quest?).

I also liked the Leisure Suit Larry series, which weren't "Quest" games, but AFAICT used the same engine.

That'd be Sierra's Hero's Quest: So You Want To Be A Hero, later renamed to Quest for Glory because "Hero Quest" is a trademark of Games Workshop.

The sequels included other settings, for example the Arabian Nights.


Yes, I think that's it! If I recall correctly, some of the game was set in the Middle East too, though I might be confusing it with another game in the series.

I really need to try and download these golden oldies from somewhere and have a nostalgia-fest!
