Idid a search on that, and although the main character looks familiar (I remember he had light or "blonde" hair), the game I played was black and white. Also, the characters in the screenshot I saw looked a bit too
chunky so to speak. The game I played had more pixelized characters. They weren't as bad as atari, but they weren't as good as the screenshots I saw.
Update:
Found this on this site:

"Quest for Glory 1: So You Want to Be a Hero? was first released under the series title of Hero's Quest by Sierra Online in 1989. Implemented using Sierra's SCI game interpreter engine, it featured a 16 color EGA graphics and a text-based parser interface. Later, due to legal reasons, the series title was changed to Quest for Glory (the name was too similar to a board game 'Hero Quest' being developed by Milton Bradley)."
So, maybe I played it on a computer with a black and white monitor? I was really little when I played it, I know that much. Plus,
this box cover looks EXTREMELY like the box stuck in my memory.
I think you found my game, davik.
Thanks!
P.S. I don't remember the 3-D fighting engine. Maybe I just didn't get far enough in the game.
