Hail Feryar,
Hero's Quest was owned at the time by Hasbro (before the Inc.?) who had a board game out also called Hero's Quest. I had both the game board and the computer game on my old Atari ST and remember the lawsuit and the sudden name change to Quest for Glory. Hero's Quest was also one of my favorite games and I always wished they made a MOD for it to enhance its possibilities. I also enjoyed QFG 2 quite a lot. QFG3 was fun, especially since I could play the Paladin, but was lacking in certain elements that QFG1 excelled in, such as that whole D&D monster/wild forest feeling. QFG4 sucked IMO. I just wasn't into the whole Transylvania thing, not to mention it didn't seem to follow the QFG series that well. Also, the combat in QFG4 was terrible compared to the previous versions. I still believe QFG1 had and has the best combat system of the entire series. And I never played QFG5 because I was noticing a disappointing trend in the series and wanted to put my money into something else, like CIVILIZATION 2.
