A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

For me it's Chrono Trigger. I always want to play it. I want to show it to my children. I hope it will be regarded as a masterpiece for generations to come.

There's a game called Heroes Hour on steam that is like the pixel version of an expanded HoMM3, the over world and town building and unit recruiting is all almost the same, but the fights are real-time auto-battler that you can pause to cast spells or give directions to units. Really scratches the itch left by HoMM3

Oh I'm gonna check this out. I actually liked some of the newer homm games too but it was frustrating to play them because of all the bugs. The core gameplay of all of them is just so much fun for me though

If you’re going to buy HOMM3, get it from GOG. The steam version only has the base game, the GOG version has all the expansions. I’d also recommend downloading the HD Mod - it’s still being updated with new features. And there’s Horn of the Abyss - a fan-made expansion complete with new town types and some things that were started but never made it into the official expansions.
