The NES HeroQuest is an unreleased port of the Amiga adaptation of the board game of the same name, containing the quests of the base set (HeroQuest Game System) and the "Return of the Witch Lord" expansion, as well as one of the best title themes out there.

Two different builds are known to be around: an incomplete US version, and a near-complete European version.
