Dwarfs rock. I had a bunch of photocopied sheets for Advanced Hero Quest that put two players in the boots of Gotrek and Felix against a Skaven Clan when I was a kid. No idea where I got them but Gotrek was unstoppable. Sooooo many Fate Points! 😂
As soon as I heard the words "The best thing about heroquest is..." I knew the Bard would have to be in there somewhere! Thanks for putting up a great review!
I had Hero Quest and both expansion packs. 5 siblings and no one would play it with me. My mom played 2 quests with me and that’s all I ever played. I’m a little pathetic but my mom is awesome
I had the main game and one expansion pack, my mom would run the game for me and I had to beg my older sister and younger brother to play with me. We never made it to the expansion pack. I ran the dwarf and the barbarian (I think) and they would call the dwarf fat, I didn’t know the word “stout” and thought pudgy sounded childish so I said he was pudgdent which of course my family translated as pungent and made fun of my smelly dwarf.
I sold my expansions for about 75 bucks each years ago. If you can find the Europe only expansions the prices are insane. Sadly it was supposed to have a 40k game equivalent come out called Space Crusade, but it only came out in Europe.
There are dozens if not hundreds. Price usually starts at around 100 too. My preferred one is Core Space. Its basically Pirates of Dark Water meets Firefly. Except no stupid Whedon nonsense. They have awesome 3d terrain to build!
My family and I play HeroQuest to this day! Bought a complete set a few years back (to replace my long-gone childhood set) and we all enjoyed it. Soon friends started playing and, well, it snowballed into a HeroQuest/D & D kluge campaign that we've been running for four, nearly five years. It's been a great way for the kid to learn roleplaying, with a physical grid to follow and figurines on which to focus the imagination. Adding rules/powers/abilities has been simple and fun (the basic structure of the game is beautifully simple and easy to build on), and there's some great websites that have custom quests as well as the graphics resources to create your own. Got to be my all-time favourite board game... even though it's now much more than that :)
Another reeeeeeaaaaaally great out of print game you guys would like then (if they like the older non disney StarWars as they should) is StarWars Miniatures. Its a tactical game where you build an army out of an agreed upon point allowance for all players and then break out the minis and the maps, and throw your squads against eachother to see who comes out on top. Its got jedi, sith, manadalorians, its got gonk droids, tauntauns, speeder bikes, its got a yoda force ghost, it has an at at, and rancors, its got friggin Dr. Evazon pre arm slice from Obi Wan. Just sayin, its also pretty cool.
@@megamonstercookies We've created cards for what we call "battle abilities" (which charge up with each monster defeated, to a given value, then the special ability can be used) and "attrition abilities" (same, but for taking damage). They're either attacks, buffs or fast-move passes. The special items (like the Spirit Blade) are "soul bound" to certain characters as part of the overall narrative, items and money carry over from quest to quest, and one must make a skill roll (equal to or less than mind points on a D6) for trickier tasks, or interpreting items that relate to the quest lore. Also, if a player crits on an attack roll (all skulls), they get a "crit bonus" which they must physically roleplay... so a really cool kick/slash/shot, or whatever... that takes out more than one monster. A personal rule I've made, as the DM, is that my wife must act out her battle ability because she wanted a Sailor Moon-style magical princess moment for her female barbarian, and it's really cool and funny when she does :)
The best thing about Toy Galaxy is the videos... and that they understand fun. You guys could have completely skipped over BardicBroadcasts review but it has become such a fun meme these past four years your comment section would have exploded about not referencing it.
That Christmas I got Heroquest changed my life forever. It's a splendid introduction to RPGs and I recently started a new campaign with my own children
Yup, same here, 45 and the game is sitting in my board game drawer to this day. haven't played it in years though.... but I think that is about to change.
It cracks me up when 40K “fans” still in their 30s angrily denounce GW for trying to encourage younger fans claiming their selling out oblivious to the fact that the earlier generation of fans came in when they were 11/12 thanks to Heroquest and Space Crusade. (and they probably came in thanks to the Total War video game franchise c 2004)
I was into this video till the BardicBroadcasts shout out..... then I loved it and had to give this video some love, as well! I love BardicBroadcasts and like this channel, too. I need more of it in my life.
I remember my parents and the neibours playing this on our living room floor when I was a tiny child. The figurines utterly transfixed me. Changed me for life.
Yes! I got back into this on request of my niece two New Years ago, and now she's a full on, zooming-from-home D&D aficionado. And this weekend for the Son's birthday, he asked to play HeroQuest. Good times! My set is complete, and I have the first two expansions. Sadly, I missed the last two, but boy-oh-boy, I've got plenty to last.
This game, along with the Lone Wolf series of adventure gamebooks, was my entry point to a lifetime of imagination, dice rolling, paint hoarding, and eye strain.
I love this game so much, I got it from a friend in the mid 2000s, the miniatures pieces were so cool. A couple of years ago a friend, and I sat down to try and knock out the first quest, but we started roleplaying and it took 4 hours to complete.
I played it just after it came out. I’ll never forget it. It was awesome. Broke my “Browed Sowed” too many times. Btw. That Bardic Broadcasts video is LEGENDARY.
This game was my entry into roleplaying games and miniature boardgames. I got it for Christmas sometime in the 80's and this and Dungeons & Dragons still remain my favorite childhood gifts. I'm 42 now and I still play RPG's and miniature games. I would love to get this game again, but this has become a collector's item and the prices are outrageous.
This was a life changer for me. First time I painted figurines, I designed my own table map, and used my legos (Knights series) as game pieces. I had a blast thinking of new quests and creating a story arc. Hero's Quest lasted me a good number of years until I stumbled upon RPG Maker for the PS1. I've been making games since on various platforms.
And here I was literally a second away form saying you need to take this down until you put in “the best thing”, and then you said it twice and talked about the video. God I love you fellas.
I mean in fairness these days D&D has a much wider player base, so while they players shown in an advertisement would look more like models than the ones in the old video, that wouldn't preclude them from being players.
I am originally from Australia (Melbourne) but have lived in the US for almost 20 years. I came home for a couple of weeks work the first week of March... yeah, I know...BAD timing. So my work was cancelled along with my flight home and I am approaching 3 months of being stuck here. Under my parents house in a box I found my copy of Hero Quest. I have started teaching my nephews how to play and they love it. I finally got around to finishing painting all my figures. Looking forward to taking it back home with me and introducing it to my kids there. Great video.
Funny story. The "Best Thing About Heroquest" video got me into dungeon crawler board games. Those games got me back into D&D. D&D got me into this channel! And now we've come full circle.
Ok I did a stupid thing. To save space I got rid of the original box and shoved the contents into my Advanced Heroquest and Waddingtons Dark World boxes instead. Is on my list of greatest regrets.
What a great blast from the past! I miss that game. It was crazy and will always have a special place in my heart. I feel like I need to search out a copy now... Oh man, here we go.
There was another PC game called Hero Quest (i.e. King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest) until they found out that the name was already used. Then it became Quest for Glory. Irregardless this was a neat board game! And thank you for the bit about WarHammer, didn't know they were connected!
Loved Heroquest. I had all the expansions and my friends and I played for hours. When he was 11 my nephew discovered my old sets and I introduced him to role-playing games.
Me and my friends used to play AD&D 2nd Edition, Hero Quest, BattleMaster and this list goes on. But I loved Hero Quest. Fast forward 10 years, I'm a newly minted Air Force airman and looking for a hobby and got introduced to Warhammer and Warhammer 40k. Something I still enjoy to this day, 17 years later. But imagine my surprise years after getting into Warhammer that my beloved Hero Quest was made in conjunction with Games Workshop. Mind = blown!
How did I miss this video? This was indeed my introduction to Dungeons and Dragons and role-playing games in general. Eventually our HeroQuest games involved more and more backstory and role-playing and later on, HeroQuest became the ancient history of our Dungeons and Dragons world in the same way that King Kull was in the ancient past of Conan's world. Love this game.
First time I saw the Gargoyle, as a young lad, i was like "Oooooo... I got to get in on that HeroQuest action." And i was right!. I bought the base set and all 4 US expansions.
I really, really can't say enough about how much play value we got out of this when I was a kid! Those miniatures were so damn cool! We reused all of these parts in countless homebrews over the years and some have even made it into my nephew's games to this day. Loved this game!
A friend had this back in 90's, I got into Warhammer Quest and have 2 copies of it on my shelf still. Warhammer Quest did get a relaunch from GW somewhat recently
This was easily one of my favorite games I had as a kid. I loved all the little furniture & figures & used to play it with my friends all the time. I even found my original Hero Quest game again at a flea market. Such an awesome fun game.
i bought the new Hero Quest because of this video! My mom owned the original when i was a kid but we lost all the pieces by the time i was old enough to play it properly. thanks for unlocking some core memories!
Again...another great video!! My friends never played HeroQuest but we did play Dark Tower, thanks for the deep cut. In NYC there is a store called The Complete Strategist, this is where my friends and I would spend our Saturdays in the late 80's to mid 90's. Wall to wall pen & paper RPG's and board games. We only stop going because we fell into Magic:TG.
The memories and the time that instantly come back by seeing the box... kicked me right in the nostalgia. Funny story, the first time I played it with my cousin we had set up all of the pieces for the first adventure on the board... and then we realized after that you only place items on the board as they are discovered.. :/
I remember seeing the commercials for this on tv and the images of the orcs and barbarian in comic books as a kid. I was a tad too young to play it and understand it. But hearing the name Hero Quest immediately bring those images back to me.
This is still the most iconic dungeon crawl board game ever released IMO. I bought it in 1991 and played the hell out of it for years. It didn't feature the deep gameplay that newer entries (Gloomhaven, Descent, Claustrophobia, etc.) boast, but it's just loaded with open-ended possibilities and moves so fast that you could easily play through several scenarios in one sitting. Just a great game!
Awwwwwww yes. I loved playing this many many many many many years ago back when I was 11 years old with my buddies. Super love this game. Its neat seeing information like this on an ancient game I loved so much. I still own my box copy. I didn't even know there was expansions. Sadly, when moving to grade school to high school, I lost all contact with my friends I played this game with as I went to a new school and never was able to play again.
First encountered Heroquest when a friend had the original set. Loved the beginning game and ended up getting the novel back in the 90s. I still have that novel on my shelf to this day. Didn't know it was made my GW until I played Warhammer Quest in a local GW Store and noticed the uncanny resemblance, then I noticed it was advertised in a White Dwarf mag!
HEROQUEST IS THE BEST GAME EVER MADE! ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE IS WRONG!"
Bard approved comment!

Happy memories playing HeroQuest with my late father on Christmas Day 1989
😞
The best thing about HeroQuest is that 30 years later there are still people who play and love dearly HeroQuest!
ALLRIGHT!
We need more simple Dungeon-in-a-box games. I miss this.
You should check out dungeon saga from mantic games it's pretty much just a new hero quest
D&D actually has some great boxed sets. Check out Wrath of Ashardelon and Legend of Drizzt.
Yeah there’s like... so many.
There are dozens if not hundreds. Price usually starts at around 100 too. My preferred one is Core Space. Its basically Pirates of Dark Water meets Firefly. Except no stupid Whedon nonsense. They have awesome 3d terrain to build!
Descent is pretty much the spiritual successor to heroquest.

Loved playing Hero Quest with my family. My father would write Quests, printing out Scrolls on his Amiga.
This is still the most iconic dungeon crawl board game ever released IMO. I bought it in 1991 and played the hell out of it for years. It didn't feature the deep gameplay that newer entries (Gloomhaven, Descent, Claustrophobia, etc.) boast, but it's just loaded with open-ended possibilities and moves so fast that you could easily play through several scenarios in one sitting. Just a great game!
Loved the Joseph Hartnell "Lonely Man" music from "The Incredible Hulk" during the "alone" moments! Hilarious!
THANK YOU! It was driving me nuts! You did a great thing 9 months ago!
@@mistermaestersirthomas9164 Happy to help 😁
My BFF and I played this for a good while before graduating to D&D. What a trip down memory lane.
Just when I think your channel can’t get any more awesome...you surprise me with something like this 😮
Damn, they still made it in the 90's... Game has Legendary status online.
I got into painting miniatures by painting the HeroQuest figs.
When someone shows a clip of, or mentions the bard’s video, one must immediately go watch it..
Christopher Lee did the voiceover, i didnt know that. I dont recall ever seeing that ad as a kid.
Awwwwwww yes. I loved playing this many many many many many years ago back when I was 11 years old with my buddies. Super love this game. Its neat seeing information like this on an ancient game I loved so much. I still own my box copy. I didn't even know there was expansions. Sadly, when moving to grade school to high school, I lost all contact with my friends I played this game with as I went to a new school and never was able to play again.
First encountered Heroquest when a friend had the original set. Loved the beginning game and ended up getting the novel back in the 90s. I still have that novel on my shelf to this day. Didn't know it was made my GW until I played Warhammer Quest in a local GW Store and noticed the uncanny resemblance, then I noticed it was advertised in a White Dwarf mag!
