Help finding an old game
« on: September 15, 2009, 04:12:25 PM »
Has anyone played an old roguelike game called Hero? I loved that game! I was wondering if anyone can help me find a place to download it.

This is the actual game but the download location is dead.
http://downloads.ugo.com/download.php?gameid=245

I know it was updated to at least version 1.2, but 1.0 is still playable.

Any help would be great!

Second link.  I'm not sure if this is it, but it looks like it.  Same developer as what was on the page you posted.
Edit:  Looks like the links are 404 too.  Sorry.  :(

Edit2:  http://www.programfiles.com/Default.asp?LinkId=11031 (requires sign up, so I don't know if it works)

Edit3:  I googled the term below and got about 2 pages of results.  I don't know how many are dead links though.

Hero is a "16 color dungeon" adventure game

This man is also named Brad Miller, and is a programmer as well. Could it be the right Brad Miller? I have no idea. His website doesn't have hero hosted on it that I can find. But you could contact via his e-mail address on the website, or through the forum:

The Brad Miller who is Windowpaene is not the Brad Miller who programmed the game Hero.


Too bad  :'(
