Great for a flightOct 04, 2000
By Jozef Let's face it - Heroes of Might and Magic is not the perfect game for a GameBoy. However, the creators managed to get the most of it. The graphics are clear, the music decent, and you have the choice of several dosen maps of different size and level. As in the PC version, you build up your cities and hire armies. However, unlike the PC game you are rather limited here (no marketplace and no army upgrades). As for the interface, the developer did a fabulous job to make them very intuitive.However, the game can get very tedious. The small screen of a GameBoy simply cannot show too much of a map, so you can expect a lot of scrolling around. I found out this was the perfect game to play on a flight, where it's hard to keep your concentration.

Fun, Fun, and more Fun!Jul 05, 2000
In the July issue of Nintendo Power they gave Heroes of M&M a 6.9, so I was a little worried after I ordered it. Well, they were wrong. This is the best game I have played for game boy. The graphics are not going to turn heads, but you can tell the difference between guys. The sound does it's job. The control is awesome and there are enough scenarios for a while. Just make sure you have enough batteries.

It's not so badOct 29, 2001
By Scott I've played the computer version, and it was pretty sweet. The gameboy version has a lot of the same elements, and that's great. It fills a demand lacking in the rest of the games out there. However, the controls are a bit tedious. Some games are not made for gameboy, and for good reason. This game probably shouldn't have even made it to gameboy color. The graphics are abstract and overall ... in comparison to other platforms of Heroes. But that's how it is. It's the gameboy version. If you like the computer game, you may feel the need to want to play Heroes on a road trip or in a waiting room, or perhaps on an airplane. Is it worth it? I think so, but my advice is look into Heroes 2 for gameboy. Maybe it's improved.

The Hero of road tripsOct 02, 2000
I first saw a add for this game in Nintendo Power and I nearly jumped for joy. I have been playing the Heros of Might and Magic for years and now I finally had the chance to play it at school with out swiping Dad's lap top. The graphics are a little lame and are confusing at first but the more you play the faster you know what the heck you are looking at. Even with the graphics compermised the game is still asome. I think it is a mix of heros 1 and heros 3. I think there is only one thing is bad about it... you need an extra set of batterys when you play because you are going to play for a LOOOOOOOOOONG time!

one of the best games ever made - now on GameBoyNov 26, 2002
By godsmacker This game is a turn-based fantasy strategy. It offers 4 sides (Barbarian, Sorceress, Knight, Warlock) each with 6 unit types and players can spells too. The game's music and sounds are OK for a gameboy and graphics are quite good as well. There are maps of 3 sizes, the bigger ones are quite challenging. I think HOMM is a fantastic game that will keep you entertained for months.
