Typeface used for the opening credits of Hero's Quest: So You Want To Be A Hero (EGA) & Quest For Glory: So You Want To Be A Hero (EGA), (C) 1989 Sierra On-Line.  The words and names were not generated using an in-game font; they were actually pre-rendered static images within the game's art assets.  Letters Q & Z created by Goatmeal.
