I'm old gamer. 52 and kicking. My first computer was Commodore 64...how many joysticks I demolished...ah, happy memories!
My friend had first Pentium with CD-ROM! We played thousands matches of Worms United. It was Eternal derby, as we called it. Final result was some 10,000 : 9,965, He was better, I must admit.
Heroes of Might & Magic III was my first turn-based strategy game that I played in late 90-ies.
It was love at the first sight.
The moment I install new Windows version, first next thing is to install HoMM III. I mostly play WoG version now, great fan made upgrade to make game even more interesting.
What is the most precious about this game for me is time spend with my, now late buddy, with whom I spent countless enjoyable hours playing hot-seat.
Rest in peace brother, I will cherish memory on you, by playing Galthran, your favorite vampire necromancer hero, if he would be available. Let's hope so and let's hope that they make this game legendary as HoMM III was. If it will be so good, I'll buy exclusive version with a physical art-book, manual, disk and all that jazz!
Please, make HoMM great again!
P.S. Happy gaming everyone, can't wait to use Armageddon on the battlefield with dozen of Phoenixes to clean up unlucky survivors :)
