    Same boat here my friend.

    1000+ hours, lots of intricate builds. Post Ashlands has been miserable.

    With all that, still the best $20 I’ve ever spent in 43 years of gaming.

        Or I could just play some sweet Master of Magic (DOS version)… a game so beloved it’s still getting actively modded some 30 years later!

        I have such a ridiculous backlog to play. Such guilt.

          I remember that game with the purple box. When I was 13 I worked in a computer store and remember thinking the box was pretty cool.

          I played it finally around 2010 but kind of bounced off since I had no idea what I was doing lol. I can see why it still has a following like HOMM

            It defined a genre. And had some pretty advanced concepts for the time (the first game I played with right-click help pop-ups).

            It’s still being worked on, mostly via Caster of Magic. The ‘reboot’ is OK, but a bit too slavish in copying the UI issues.
