This version remained very faithful to the board game, right down to the turn based movement and combat system.
==Gameplay==
The game could be played either individually, or with team mates, each player picking one of more characters from those available - Barbarian, Elf, Dwarf and Wizard.
An expansion, 'Return of The Witch Lord' was later released, consisting of ten extra quests based directly on the Milton Bradley expansion of the same name.
==Amstrad Version==
Technically, Hero Quest is a [[Speccy Port|Speccy port]], or more accuratly a Spectrum co-developpment games (because it is good and graphics were slightly modified)).
The gameplay is close to the 16 bit version, yet the choice for a "Joystick as mouse" [[Graphical User Interface|GUI]] is slow to use as it lacks a real Mouse.
Also, it shares the same graphics with Monocoloured Spectrum version, yet slightly recolored re-coloured in 3 shade of Blue. A clever use of the [[Video modes|Mode 1]]'s 4 colors colours as in [[Head over Heels]] wouldn't have hurt... Because as it is, the Amstrad CPC's version of '''Hero Quest''' lacks in contrast and visibility.
