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.

== NEC PC-9801 Version ==
The game was released in Japan for the NEC PC-9801 computer. This version came out in 2 flavors: 8-color and 16-color. Both used the same SCI vector-picture format (that uses 256 colors internally). The game came with 2 graphic drivers: 9801V8M.DRV and 9801V16.DRV. The first rendered the graphics in 640x400 8 color mode and the second in 640x400 16 color mode.
The 8-color flavor of the game was using a palette that looked better when dithered to 8 colors, and vice versa.
Here are the various combinations of the game when played in an emulator:
{|

! 8-color graphics
! 16-color graphics
