I was tired of finding my CD for HOMM2, so I've waited for months for it to show up on GOG -- I think I'll be playing HOMM forever, and I look forward to finally finishing it with the GOG copy. This is a turn-based game that is a huge jump from HOMM1 and set the standard for all the HOMM games to come, and which was perhaps never surpassed by other strategy franchises.
I absolutely love the HOMM series...but I have to say that unless you are buying this game out of historical interest in the development of this series, hold off for HOMM2. This game was a huge advance over the original King's Bounty, but it was with HOMM2 that it all came together in a game that will be playable and fun decades from now. This installment is tedious in comparison and might scare newcomers away...plus, $9.99 is really too much. I'll happily pay that for the later games in the series, but not this one.
