I discovered HoMM1 when I was 25 or so. I had a Compaq DX2/66 CPU (pre-Pentium days) Love it the minute I starting playing it! Yes...It not as good as HoMM2 or 3, but it still holds it own. Picked up an Asus Eee 1005HAB netbook @ BB for $249.99 & it had Windows 7 Starter installed. I was going to install WINXP instead so I could play my older games, then I found GOG (thank god!)) Runs like a champ even with my crappy Intel GMA950 intergrated video. I have played countless hours of HoMM1 & I'm so happy that I canstill play it in Windows 7!!!! Nice job GOG! No crashes, dropouts, no issues! I do think that HoMM1 should be $5.99 vs. $9.99 IMHO, but I caved-in. You can find extra single player maps on the web. HoMM1 will always have a special place in my gaming world! Good stuff!
