I used to play this endlessly for years. Then I upgraded my pc and the old discs wouldn't run on Win7. I gave up playing and eventually got rid of the game (DUMB DUMB DUMB!) After some time of trying many other games I just couldn't stand it anymore, I had to get heroes 2 back. I was going to go the emulator route but there are many issues with that choice. Then I found GOG. Cheap price, brilliantly easy to install and I am once again enjoying my all time fav game. I can't tell you how much I enjoy this. I'm ecstatic to be playing this again. Highly recommend gog.com as this download version of heroes2 is tweaked to play on Win7 and Win8. Awesome!
