Heroes of Might and Magic was my jam

[–] TehBamski@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Same here brother/sister. Which Heroes of Might and Magic was your favorite?

Mine was HoMM 3.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Same. I wonder if there's a decent port.

There are lots of mods to original, that add quality of life, extra content and should work fine with win 10/11

It has been few years since tried last time, I believe it was this mainly: https://h3hota.com/en/documentation

HotA is awesome!

But the best way to play it is to use VCMI. It's an open source re-implementation of the original game for the modern hardware. It also have a built-in launcher which asks you automatically download HotA or WoG after the first start. You can also install other mods from it. So convenient.

GOG.com had it for pretty cheap last year and it worked as well on Win10 as I remember it working on Win95 (or was it XP? I forget). Point is, yes, you can get it for cheap on modern OS's and it's just as fun as it was in 2000

I remember back in elementary school going over to my friends house after school to play this game all the fuckin time. HoMM 3 was the shit homie!

I usually prefer strawberry.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

I prefer your mom.

Because she is simply a delightful person. A true joy to be around.

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Me and my three brothers all afternoon until our big sister kicks us out to ICQ chat with some flame of hers.

Core memory.

Haven't built your capitol yet?

[–] Ketram@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 6 months ago

I only recognized this as Might & magic because I've watched too many Sseth videos.

Give me the Necropolis, or give me death!
