The series is well remembered by fans for its ability to seamlessly combine epic fantasy stories often of surprising complexities with unique and colorful locations and surreal humor worthy of a Lucasarts game into one strong package. Planned originally as a quartet of games, Quest for Glory follows the adventures of an unnamed hero, from his very first trials to the point where he finally becomes a true hero - and beyond. Originally called Hero's Quest, before trademark issues with Milton Bradley resulted in them changing the name. But that was not everything the games also were a brilliant (and hilarious) Affectionate Parody of the adventure genre and had a very strong continuity despite being spread out over the course of nine years.

One series that differed a bit from this formula, however, was the Quest for Glory series, using a Mix and Match of Adventure and RPG. The final game in the series saw a Genre Shift to Action RPG, and removed most of the adventure and puzzle elements replacing them with combat missions.

What most of these have in common, though, was that they used variants on the same engine and thus had the same game play, first using the parser ('get item') then using a more 'traditional' (for adventures) point and click interface. We had King's Quest, Police Quest, Space Quest and everything you could stick a 'Quest' to (and a couple of other ones). Back in the 80s and throughout the 90s, Sierra was big in adventures.
