CD Projekt's GOG.com game download site continues to add new classic PC game titles to its DRM-free library. Today the site announced a new agreement with Ubisoft that will bring a new batch of older games from that publisher to GoG.com. One of them is Heroes of Might and Magic II: Gold Edition, the 1996 released fantasy turn based strategy game that was originally released by the now defunct 3DO.

Another game added to the library today is The Settlers II: Gold Edition, the second game in the (sort of) historical strategy game developed originally by Blue Byte Software. Both new GoG.com titles are on sale for $9.99 each.

Welcome to Boot Disk, and enjoy the retro ride!

The Might and Magic series has always been a popular one with the PC role-playing game fans. However, while the main series is certainly good, it is the Heroes sub-series that everyone remembers with such fondness. Randomized maps, economics mixed with fantasy warfare, and some excellent strategic options helped boost it over the Might and Magic series as a whole. While Heroes of Might and Magic V has been out for a while now, it's certainly not considered the best in the series. No, that honor is reserved for the one and only Heroes of Might and Magic II. So let's take a look at just why it is the best in a great series.
