That caught my eye as well but it doesn't come in a DVD box, it seems. More like those huge cardboard boxes that PC games used to come in.

Does anyone know if I can purchase Heroes of Might and Magic II and Heroes of Might and Magic III via digital distribution? Steam does not have it, I checked. It would certainly be very convenient for me.

I have only played Heroes of Might and Magic I, Heroes of Might and Magic II and Heroes of Might and Magic III. People say that Heroes of Might and Magic III is the best one in the series and that its successors fail. Going by GameRankings, Heroes of Might and Magic IV did great, but its expansion packs all scored rather poorly, getting 15 to 20 percent less than the original game. That kind of puts me off.

Do you know where to get the first 3 via digital distribution, though? :D

I agree that HoMM 3 is the best one in the Series and later version are not as good as that, but still they are pretty good.

I recommend takign HoMM 3 and 4 is simply because 3 is just an superior extension of 2 amd offers almost the  same core gameplay but in a bigger and better manner. So, instead of 2 you should takego for 4 imo since it has quite a few differences from 2& 3 and will offer a slightly different experience. Be warned though not every one like the changes made.

Also, don't worry about the score for 4, if you like the Vanilla version of 4, you will like the expansions equally

And yeah, sadly i don't know anywhere ytou can Heroes 1,2,3 as DD

Thanks for your help. I suppose I will settle on that version then. Logically, it is the best version because it offers the best price/value relationship. I am just a bit superficial, much to my dismay.

Thanks everyone!
