  Monomyth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This pattern of the hero's journey is still influential among artists and intellectuals worldwide, however, which may indicate the continued usefulness and ubiquitous influence of Campbell's works (and thus as evidence for the importance and validity of Freudian and especially Jungian psychological models).
Departure deals with the hero venturing forth on his quest; Initiation deals with the hero's various adventures along his or her way; and Return deals with the hero's return home with knowledge and powers he or she has acquired along the way.
Aragorn, in a separate hero's journey, is told by Elrond of his true name and lineage as the Heir of Isildur and rightful heir to the throne of Gondor when he is 20 years of age.

 Quest for Glory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quest for Glory is a series of hybrid role-playing/adventure computer games designed by Corey and Lori Ann Cole.

The repeating characters of the hero myth, such as the young hero, the wise old man, the shape-shifting woman, and the shadowy nemesis, are identical with the archetypes of the human mind, as shown in dreams.
The hero is forced to make allies and enemies in the special world, and to pass certain tests and challenges that are part of his training.
The HERO MYTH is a skeleton that should be masked with the details of the individual story, and the structure should not call attention to itself.

 Hero's Quest for Mobile Review - Mobile Hero's Quest Review
Hero's Quest has the groundwork for an interesting and rich game, but it falls short in too many ways to be ignored.
Hero's Quest might be named after the first game in the Quest for Glory series, but the similarities end shortly thereafter.
There are effectively six different ways to play Hero's Quest, since you can choose to be a mage or warrior and then decide whether your character is good, neutral, or evil.

 Heroic Archetypes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Joseph Campbell, in The Hero with a Thousand Faces, identified both the archetype of the Hero and the quest that the hero follows, in many of the folk tales and myths of the world.
Quest: This is the hero quest which the archetype has set out on.
The hero may not realise she is on such a quest until it is too late to retreat.

 Hero Quest   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Hero Quest is a board game created by Games Workshop and Parker Brothers.
The game was based loosely around archetypes of fantasy role-playing game s; like tabletop role-playing game s, the game itself was actually a game system, allowing the gamemaster (in Hero Quest parliance, "Zargon") to create dungeons of his or her own design using the provided game board, tiles, furnishings and monsters.
A computer game adaptation was also released (forcing Sierra On-Line to rename their Hero's Quest series to Quest for Glory).

Hero Quest to tytuł, który kojarzyć mogą nieco starsi miłośnicy produktów firmy Games Workshop, taki bowiem tytuł nosiła jedna z wydawanych przez nią planszówek (jej rozszerzoną wersję, Advanced Hero Quest, miano opublikować także na polskim rynku, jednak projekt ten, z różnych przyczyn, nie doszedł do skutku).
Granie w Hero Quest pokrótce przybliża nam świat gry oraz mechanikę systemu - choć sporo z elementów tego krótkiego rozdziału stanie się w pełni jasne dopiero po lekturze dalszych fragmentów podręcznika, zawarte tu informacje pomogą graczom lepiej poczuć klimat gry, a opis przykładowej karty postaci ułatwi stworzenie własnych Bohaterów.
Mechanika Hero Quest jest bardzo prosta, i opiera się na rzutach jedną kostką dwudziestościenną - każda cecha (umiejętność, moc, zdolność etc.) ma przypisaną wartość numeryczną - sukces w jej teście to wynik niższy lub równy jej wartości.

 Hero Quest Cycles
A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious venture with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.
Because "heroine" is the diminutive form of "hero," I prefer to use the term "hero quest" rather than "heroine quest" to describe what I've been through with breast cancer.
The quest cycle is a natural cycle that occurs with any kind of crisis: you might have already encountered it through divorce, an accident, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job.

 Hero Quest download @ Game Downloads
A great PC version of the equally underrated board game of the same name from Games Workshop, Hero Quest is an isometric RPG that simplifies RPG statistics without simplifying gameplay.
Hero Quest (along with Space Crusade) was Games Workshop's attempt to gain a foothold in the mainstream board games market.
At the end of each quest you get to spend all that lovely treasure that you found (you did find some right?) and buy swords, shields and spells to aid in your quest.

 Funny Game Review - Hero's Quest   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Hero's Quest is a collection of top-quality treats and nothing else, and thank you very much.
Despite the (hopefully temporary) lack of a satisfying ending, Hero's Quest remains an excellent, excellent game, arguably one of the best RPG offerings on the cell phone platform to date, and a darn good reason not to switch to the express train/bus/horse during your morning commute.
Hero's Quest is nicely balanced in all aspects, never forgetting exactly what it means to be played on a cell phone.

 Hero Quest - Review - A Quest in Fantasy
When I saw the board game "Hero Quest" in my local Toys'R'Us I was like a child with a new toy, rushing all the way home.
If you have ever played a computer version of Hero Quest (I had a copy for my Amiga years ago), the board game is very similar in that the four characters are the same, namely a Barbarian, an Elf, a Wizard and a Dwarf.
The aim of each quest is laid out before hand and the characters must complete it and escape with their lives to finish the quest, any extra weapons, armour, treasures, money or spells they collect during their quest is theirs to keep on completion.

Hero Quest was also a tied into another Milton Bradley/Games Workshop game called Battle Masters.
Battle Masters and Hero Quest share the same characters (Orcs, Goblins, Chaos Warriors) and some of the rules are the same (the attack/defend dice).

 Bowser Bag - Hero Quest
WHAT IT IS: Hero Quest is a board game by Milton Bradley that came out about 1990, which is sadly no longer available.
Hero Quest also spawned 4 quest packs (with additional figures) adding 40 quests to the original 12, but unfortunately Milton Bradley discontinued the line before it could really catch on.
Games Workshop, a game company from Great Britain, followed with a game called Advanced Hero Quest, bringing more quests, furniture and figures (they were, in fact, the sculptures of the original figures), but that died as well.

 Hero Quest
These are the intrepid Hero Questers who are suddenly dumped into The Unpleasant Dungeon of Morcar, where they must complete up to 15 spooky quests, involving killing various creatures, finding secret treasure and rescuing people too pathetic to rescue themselves.
Each character can be controlled by a different player, and on the earlier levels the dungeon is mapped out for you (which makes things nice and straightforward because you can't get lost).
Of course, that means that the first person into a room often get to find the treasure, but that isn't too much of a bad thing either cos then you get to fight about it amongst yourselves (and it's a lot of fun scrapping with the dwarf!).

Some of the activities that'll require this much commitment include taking your hero(es) into dungeons, searching for treasures, and smashing in the skulls of nasty Orcs and Goblins.
Other interesting additions that made their way into Hero Quest are the isometric graphics engine, less complex stats system (no sacrifice to gameplay), turn-base combat, and mission-completed progression.
Last but not least, what would a dungeon RPG be without its fair share of hidden traps and secret passages that'll give gamers a few surprises to look forward or dread going to.

 Dragon Strike   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Since Hero Quest can arguably be described as a very simple version of Dungeons & Dragons (or "D&D the Boardgame") it also is not too surprising that one of the companies that published a Hero Quest clone was TSR.
Dragon Strike has almost identical game play as Hero Quest: One player acts as the "Dragon Master" (i.e., the DM) and controls the placement, movement, and action of the villains.
Unlike Hero Quest which was successful enough to spawn four expansions (six in Europe) and two sequels (Advanced Hero Quest and Warhammer Quest), Dragon Strike did not go any further than the base game.
