Ubisoft is releasing some of their older back catalog on Good Old Games (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/heroes_o ... _and_magic)

Included in the coming soon, is the original Heroes of Might and Magic - retooled to work on modern XP, Vista, and Windows 7 systems.

There is no price listed yet, though other games released on GOG have a price range of Free to $9.99.

Interesting. But I guess they can't ask for more than $5 for such an oldie. There are a lot of gems for sale on the GOG site.

Are you sure about the retooling? I can't see anything about that on the linked web.

They need to. Why would you buy it anyway? The whole charm is to play that old game on newer operating systems...

Quote I found somewhere: "That's why we guarantee all games from GOG.com will run on your Windows Vista or XP computer! If that's still not impressing you, for $5.99 or $9.99 you're not only getting DRM-free game but you also get bonus content like soundtracks, wallpapers, artworks, guides and more. Generally, GOG.com is the best place for anyone that's looking for PC classics."

Yes, I already got the : heroes complete : version and it's fabulous... 4 DVD's, incuding all games from 1 to 5, one of them have soundtracks with all the songs, artworks, a very very nice book which contains all creatures, stories about them; this book is similar to those large ones with paintings, and the quality is extreme good; a T-shirt, and so on...worth every penny of it, even if I already got all the homm series (not the first one though).

Not need to mention that all the games are adapted for XP

How many doubloons did you have to cough up for that collection?
