Little Big Adventure HQR file
File type: Game file
The .hqr file extension identifies a resource archive used by Little Big Adventure, the adventure game for MS-DOS.
An HQR file stores game data required by the software and is not normally intended to be opened as a standalone document.

The HQR file is a proprietary archive used by Little Big Adventure, also known as Relentless: Twinsen's Adventure and Little Big Adventure: Twinsen's Adventure. The game was developed by Adeline Software International and published by Electronic Arts.
HQR archives package resources used by the game, such as graphics, sounds, text, and other data. They form part of the game's installation and work together with its executable and other data files.
This format belongs to the original MS-DOS release and is now obsolete. An HQR file normally remains useful only as part of a Little Big Adventure installation or when used by compatible software that supports the game.
Do not try to open an HQR file as a regular document. Keep it in the Little Big Adventure installation directory and start the game from its MS-DOS installation.
Compatible software that supports Little Big Adventure, including ScummVM's TwinE engine, can also use the original game data files. The HQR file should remain with the other files from the same game installation.
HQR files are proprietary game archives and have no useful general-purpose conversion format. They normally should be left unchanged so that Little Big Adventure can read them.
Some specialist game tools may extract individual resources for modding or archival purposes, but extracting them does not produce a replacement game installation and is not a standard conversion.
