In the first part of Quest For Glory I (formerly Hero's Quest): So You Want To Be A Hero, the classic adventure-RPG hybrid game from Sierra On-Line, we take on the part of "Blondie", a wannabe young Hero freshly graduated from the School of Adventurers, as he arrives in the remote Northern town of Spielburg to prove his character. Incidentally, as it quickly turns out from Blondie's interactions with the various locals, Spielburg is certainly in need of a hero, as the town suffers from multiple issues, both old and recent, including troubles with monsters, brigands, and a terrible curse set by the Ogress Baba Yaga upon the local ruler. But first on the agenda is the hard task of character build-up so as to be able to survive in this dangerous environment - even if the town itself, surrounded by a magical Aura, seems to be a reasonably safe space for the moment...
