Heroes of Might and Magic® 2: Gold

Great game with great childhood memories! Thanks to GOG for bringing back this amazing gem

I read a few negative reviews about this game, such as heroes' movements on the map is not smooth and music qualities of GOG version are not good. I'm worried before purchasing, because I think the artstyle and music of HoMM2 are the most important points in this game. Fortunately, it has been proved that it was unnecessary. The movement of heroes is same as what it was on Win95 system at that time, and even though the ogg files are not CD qualities, you can download lossless FLAC files via GOG Galaxy and it's literally flawless in my opinion. If you change the flac files to ogg files, and rename and replace it with existed ogg files, you can hear close CD qualities of music in the game. I have legit CDs of The Succession Wars and GOLD version of this game, but it's worthy of purchasing this game on GOG again.

love love love love this game so much. Lots of memories and runs great thanks to GOG

It was in 1997. I asked my parents to buy this game just because I found the artwork on the box amazing. Dragons, knights, even vampires ? Count me in ! I know most people consider HOMM 3 to be the superior game. And I can't deny that HOMM 3 has more variety, more campaigns (and more interesting too), more heroes, more creatures, more castles, more of everything. But HOMM 2 has a charm that hasn't really been achieved again in subsequent installments. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I do believe HOMM 2 deserves to be played today, even if one owns HOMM 3 already.

Brings me back to my childhood
