Anyone have this game? I just recently seen this game online and was thinking about purchasing it. I enjoy Heroes of might and magic 1-3, 3 being my favorite. 4 was a mess. 5 was decent. I also really enjoy games likes Disciples. This game looks similar in style, but is it any good?

This is one of those games that's going to go wayyyy under the radar in a season filled with good PC games. The only review I could see is from gamespy who loved it.

Also, there's a demo available which I may download and give a shot.

I have it, but it came with a special edition of Heroes 1 and I think I have the Heroes of Might and Magic Compendium

I dont' know if you'll be able to find it alone, at least 28 years old... best to see if you can get it in one of the sets that have it.

I think there's a new version of it. I had the original on my parents Apple IIe. It was a blast. Masses of Orcs and Archers were pretty useful.

Yes a new version was just released a couple of weeks ago. I remember Kings Bounty back in the 80's but this is a new version.

Is this an official re-make? The original was great in it's time!

I have the original Genesis cart. Such an awesome game back in the day. Get Trolls and Druids and rule the land...until you run in to some dragons.

The OP could really help by posting links.... it's a freaking mystery.

This one flew under my radar...

King's Bounty: The Legend

It's published by Atari and it retails for 39.99 at Amazon... not a good sign.

But I'll see if I can find it cheaper.

google the name and you'll find the website, but I had major issues trying to get it to load.... stupid web filtering at work.

I played the demo and had issues where the game would freeze for a couple seconds then start up again. I don't know what's causing that issue, but it made me a little leery of buying the game full price
