Hero's Quest 1 - 1/8 - Playthrough - Quest for Glory EGA

Part 2: http://youtube.com/watch?v=asamhST5wQU
My playthrough of the original EGA Quest for Glory 1. Sierra had to rename the game to Quest for Glory because someone else already had the rights to the name Hero's Quest. But, this is the version I had as a little kid.

This isn't meant to be a speedrun, although I try not to waste time because it's boring.

Also, since the game has very little music and sound I tried adding a soundtrack. This is my first attempt at something like this and my computer was having a heart attack the whole time, but I made it anyway :P

Anyone here know where or how I can play this?

[Aro2220]

@sonicfanatic4949 yeah get dosbox and then go download the game from a torrent site or sites like megaupload. i can't give you the game since that's illegal...and while i don't agree that it should be illegal since it's 20+ years old, i think it's better if you just search for it yourself. it's not hard to find since it was a very popular game.

Im so glad this Is up here! I spent so many hours as a kid playing this. Memory lane! I remember i used to be able to tell when an enemy was approaching by my loud ass hard drive spooling up, Gave me just enough time to type run haha.

[Aro2220]

@tattoobeetle i used to type 'look at monster' the second i entered each area and if it responded with something like "it's a program bug!" then I knew I was safe...but otherwise it would say something like, "a cheetah, a cheetah!" or whatever monster it was and I would know it's time to RUN.

Thanks for uploading this. Lots of my childhood memories rests with this game and now it has been awokened. :-)

Any idea where to get it? I would really appreciate your help.

[Aro2220]

@nasty11 you could try searching a torrent site for it or google for megauploads quest for glory 1. i think there used to be a torrent on isohunt.com called something like "dos collection" which was broken up into a few parts...the part that covered "H" had hero's quest and the part that covered "Q" had quest for glory. Just get the files then install dosbox and have fun. ;P

So this is what it's like to play Hero's Quest 1 in the middle of a trance party, surrounded by dozens of smelly, oily guidos from New Jersey with waxed chests, eyebrows, and fake tans who are all dancing extremely close together and with absolutely no women in sight?

[screwthenet]

Man its so fricking hard to find this for windows. Dos Box, every recommended site. I even still have the original Heroes quest box and the floppy disks I used on my tandy, but alas I have no floppy drive lol. Cruel fate, I spit in ur face with an anchient graphics cards WRATH! Many thx for the video speed run lol Pe@ce

Looks like an Elder Scrolls Game

Ah the good ol days.

Once you have lockpicks, type in "pick nose" for extra fun! I played this game for hours and hours back in 1989.

@Nhordmyr Yes it was called a typing parser. It added difficulty to the game. Because you had to READ and follow up on what you thought was important. All the later point and click in my opinion were to easy. (maybe because i was a few years older also but what the hell:P) Anyway... typing parser for the win! and throw away your to expensive graphics card and start playing Mud's :p

[GrassRootConnection]

I remember playing this in the early 90's, I had a lot of funny playing this with my brother. Crazy to see the walk through. Great video!!

[Nhordmyr]

you actually HAD TO TYPE IN what you want to do with the npc's? how cool is that!
