Heroes of Might and Magic was my absolute favorite game when I was younger, but Ubisoft ruined that when they secured ownership and development rights from 3DO after they went bankrupt. They produced HOMMV, and it was absolutely tragic. For me, King's Bounty captured the essence of Heroes of Might and Magic that HOMMV didn't have. A Fantastic game, and there's no coincidence why I liked it so much. King's Bounty is also the original property of New World Computing/3DO, the company responsible for the original (and best) Heroes of Might and Magic!
