An entire Youth was spended on this!

Ahh. HoMM2 was probably THE game in my town, and as I remember it, then we were mostly playing this in our entire youth - Hot seating of course. And I will not lie. This game only reminds me of positive things, and never has an game utterly comsumed me like this did. I can proudly say that I am a HoMM2 addict :P

Simply the best.

Lots of people pretend Heroes III is even better, more polished, more balanced. While these can be true to some extent, the atmosphere, music, and overall enjoyment from this one simply crush what the third one has to offer.

best game ever!!

This game brings back so many good memories. I’ve spent many an hour playing this game with my best childhood friend. I’m so sad 3DO is gone, they really made great games.
