In 1989, the husband and wife team of Corey and Lori Ann Cole made a breakthrough in the gaming industry by creating the very successful blend of the Adventure and RPG genre's with their game "Hero's Quest : So You Want to be a Hero?"

Hero's Quest was loosely based on the Dungeons and Dragons concept of fighting and side-quests to raise skills to be able to fight bigger, badder enemies. (Lori and Corey met at a Dungeons and Dragons convention, if my memory serves me right)

Of course, by now you're probably wondering 'Hero's Quest?!?! What the... I thought the name of the series is Quest for Glory!?!' Truth be told, you're correct. Milton Bradley had a board game out called 'Hero Quest' - and Sierra changed the name of the game to "Quest for Glory : So You Want to be a Hero?" either because MB took action, or to avoid confusion (or possibly both... I'm personally not sure of this.)
