'''Quest for Glory: So You Want to Be a Hero''' was the first game in the [[Quest for Glory series]]. In this adventure/RPG hybrid game, a wanna-be hero travels to the land of Spielburg to save it's people and prove himself worthy of the title of hero. The player can choose out of three classes for the hero: fighter, magic user, and thief. Many of the puzzles that could be solved and quests that would be encountered in the game were dependent on the chosen class of the hero.

The original title of the game was Hero's Quest, but Sierra never trademarked the name. The electronic adaptation of the HeroQuest board game forced Sierra to rename the game to Quest for Glory.

For more information on how ScummVM uses game data files, see the [https://docs.scummvm.org/en/latest/use_scummvm/game_files.html user documentation].
===Required data files - SCI===
WARNING: Unlike other games, SCI games have significant variation in the naming of required files.
They also can load supplementary files by resource maps, so it is recommended to keep all files in the game data directory from the CD.
Unless otherwise specified, do '''NOT''' remove any file from the directory, even if it does not appear on the following list, since this will likely cause weird bugs.
Copy all files to the game directory. Some games need additional work:
'''''Floppy games with RESOURCE.p01, p02, etc. and/or RESOURCE.a01, a02, etc. files'''''
* Concatenate all RESOURCE.p0* files to RESOURCE.000 (e.g. <code>copy /b RESOURCE.p0* RESOURCE.000</code> on Windows, or <code>cat RESOURCE.p0* > RESOURCE.000</code> on *nix).
* Concatenate all RESOURCE.a0* files to RESOURCE.AUD (e.g. <code>copy /b RESOURCE.a0* RESOURCE.AUD</code> on Windows, or <code>cat RESOURCE.a0* > RESOURCE.AUD</code> on *nix).
===Required data files - AGI===
'''''All platforms'''''
* *VOL.* (e.g. GRVOL.0, KQ4VOL.11, VOL.1)
* OBJECT
* *DIR* (e.g. PQDIR, MH2DIR, DMDIR, DIRS, LOGDIR, PICDIR, SNDDIR, VIEWDIR)
* WORDS.TOK
and if available
* PAL.*
