Incredible classic

The sheer quality of this title has kept me coming back on and off again to this very day. One of the best games I've ever played.

A MUST BUY for TBS gamers! A classic

I've played countless of hours on this game back in the day and I am just as excited now to play now. Make sure to play 'hot seat' with a friend to get some good battles going. Now where's my brother Chad...time for some rematches!

One of my top 5 all-time games!

I played the demo for this game probably in early 1997 when it came on a Computer Gaming World Magazine demo disc .. or PC Gamer, regardless, to this day I have owned 6 or 7 retail copies of this game. Some of my copies went to friends and never came back, others got lost in piles of gaming CD's and eventually got taken away by gaming gnomes. Ultimately, I always came back for some more. Now that I can't find a disc copy anywhere other than ebay, I'm happy I saw it on gog.com because the nostalgic craving was too much to resist! If you're looking for a great turn-based strategy games that will suck you right in and keep your attention for many long and satisfying hours, then look no further. The game's strategic element, combat balance, audio and visual atmosphere, awesome soundtrack and game's replayability will leave a lasting impression on you! I've played all the Heroes of Might and Magic games and to this day this one still stands out above the rest. It's easy to learn and difficult to master!

One of the Best Strategy Games Ever!

I make it for me before the PC cosy with a cup tea and enjoy HeroesII. One of the best Strategy Games ever. Better than Starcraft 2.

Beautiful and addicting

A game from the golden age of 2d gaming. Tight gameplay mechanics, balance, and strategic elements. Wonderful and memorable graphics. Great sound, especially music. Just plain FUN and a game that will be played by generations to come.
