Stupid Hasbro stupid! Why didn't they pursue this? I might have been a good marketing gimmick for the IP.
Anyway, I have fond memories of HeroQuest, and the minis and furniture are all pretty good for using with D&D. For anyone who's interested, I even have a webpage with some house rules and new quests, but I haven't updated it in something like 7 years.
