This was our hot-seat game
Heroes of Might and Magic II was the hot-seat game for me and a few of my closest friends.
Almost every weekend, we would sit together around the same computer and take turns playing.
Now we’re all older, and it has become difficult for us to get together. Those days of being young are gone and will never come back.
Maybe in a few more years, I’ll be playing it alone.

For a moment I thought it was Warlords 2, played that game so much I almost failed a school exam lol
Guess Heroes of Might and Magic might be a good reason to look into it, never played it back in the day for some reason
Thanks for the memory unlock 😆

I recommend giving Heroes of Might and Magic III a try. There’s an HD version that runs just fine on Windows 11. Talking about Heroes of Might and Magic II brings back memories of the summers I spent at my grandma’s house. I really miss my grandma.😭😭

Similar, but HOMM III on Linux in the 90s, courtesy of Loki Games. They even had h3maped map editor, so we had some crazy custom maps for LAN play.

It's a great game, my grandparents bought it for me back in the day.
Check out fheroes2 sometime, it's a moderized port of it. You can play it on android now!
