La saga Heroes of Might and Magic, es todo un clásico de los videojuegos.

Aunque se programaron para Windows, la comunidad de software libre se puso manos a la obra y sacaron unos motores libres que permiten ejecutar la segunda y la tercera parte de la saga.

Ahora que están rebajados en GOG es un buen momento para jugarlos

This is what the very first osgameclones.com looked like, in 2011-06-01, with a grand total of 7 games, compared to 1224 today.

https://github.com/opengaming/osgameclones/commit/b3a1c78916025c086e3ae146e9ea89c5ecbb9aef

The style and purpose haven't changed, and it's good that there are way more games now, but it's also harder to find things. Maybe better searching and filtering are needed?

Of these original 7 games, 5 are still going strong (#OpenTTD, #CorsixTH, #fheroes2, #VCMI, #OpenXCOM) which is incredible.

Fheroes 2, el motor libre que permite ejecutar nativamente el juego Heroes of Might and Magic 2, publicó hace 4 días la release 1.1.0

La nueva versión incluye importantes novedades, entre las que destacan un nuevo editor para crear mapas y mejoras en la IA.

Pomoc! Při ukončení kola mi spadne fheroes2!

Asi místo bingování jestli ten energie má někde logy radši budu dělat něco užitečného.

Třeba o tom napíšu na ty internety

A few days later and US$7.59 poorer, and perhaps more importantly, *much* poorer for time, I ended up with legit copies of "Heroes of Might and Magic II" and another game, "Master of Magic" that I used to play, plus an expansion.

Which lead me to running #ReactOS to extract the games to be able to play with #FHeroes2 and another with #DOSBox on #Debian in a virtual machine.

The games actually ran fine in DOSBox on ReactOS too, but that was weird.

Nostalgia has played an evil trick on me!
