I played through the original Hero's Quest when it came out as well as QFGII, including run throughs with all of the characters. I have very fond memories of the first one, that game was pure magic. I also bought QFGIII and played through maybe half before losing interest. I thought the graphics were cool and it felt more ambitious, just couldn't get into the story and mechanics in the same way. That said, I was one of those who really decried the move away from text parsers in Sierra games. Those early Police Quests, Leisure Suit Larrys, Space Quests, etc, those + a variety of Infocom games were the foundation of my childhood.
