Yup, there's 4 more, though there are two different versions of the first two games. Shadows of Darkness is the fourth (and best) one, though I still enjoy the light mood of the first game.
First, there's Hero Quest, which is an old 16 color EGA game... it was later remade into a 256 color VGA game, Quest for Glory I: So you want to be a Hero?. Sierra had to change the name due to copyright issues.
Next, there's Quest for Glory II: Trial By Fire, which is also an old 16 color EGA game. It was recently remade by some fans into a VGA version which replaced QFG4 as having the best combat system in the series... as well as the hidden Pizza Elemental.
Quest for Glory III: Wages of War is VGA again, but has a pretty poor combat system, and is considered one of the weaker entries into the series, but I still like it.
Then you have QFG4 and finally QFG5: Dragon Fire... which takes the series into blocky... awkward 3d. The game itself is... alright. There are a lot less puzzles, fighting is awkward, and it lacks the stellar voice acting of 4, though it does have a soundtrack that's just as awesome as 4's, and with better quality audio.
I think all of these games except QFG4's CD version (worth it, IMO), and QFG5 can be found on abandonware sites.
