/vr/ - Retro Games

Heroes of Might and Magic 2.
Also the fan game for Sonic 2 HD is pretty close to re-living that feeling.

It doesn't get any comfier than this :)

Bonus Day9 playing Heroes II:

It's not a very hard RTS, so it's a good starting point in the genre.
Besides, if you aren't spoiled by modern RTS controls with unit grouping and multi-selection, it's easier to get into Dune II's spartan UI.

Oh, and Dune by Cryo is worth a try too.

My favorite are already picked, so I'll add a runner-up.

A reminder that H2's artstyle is objectively superior.

Didn't see one in the catalog so I made one. I just copied and pasted most this from the archive to have an informative first post so sorry if some info is wrong or something:

HOMM2:
FHeroes2 (basically a recreation of the heroes 2 engine which allows higher resolution and other options, found it the other day, seems pretty neat)

Got a good map you made (or you managed to get an actually awesome random map)? Share it.

The lack of HoMM discussion on /vr/ is surprising to me. I know console gaming is king around here, but the series are an all-time grand, and even the big and mighty HoMM III narrowly falls within the scope of the board. And yet...
