Guidance for Heroes 1

This may sound pretty sad, but a freind of mine had HOMM 1 and I asked if I could borrow it. I've always been a casual RPG person, but have been wanting to get more involved. I figured it would be easier if I went with something a little simpler to get started. The problem I encountered is getting started. The game is installed, I just have know idea how to go about playing. I tooled around with it for a bit last night & just scrambled myself. Is there any site where I can print out some kind of getting started guide? Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Not too sad actually.  I still have that one, and play it from time to time, when I want to get back to basics.  It's an old game, so don't worry so much about the older graphics.  The gameplay is all there.  Although some things are not there, as compared to other games, such as secondary skills and other featurs that were added to each new game in the series.

If you're looking for more info, might I suggest you visit [url=http://hommworld.grantpalin.com/Homm/index.html]my site[/url].

I know a site where you can download old games including HOMM1. The downloading is legal because the games there are so old they aren't protected anymore (there some games that are listed but not available for download because of protection).

Is it OK for me to just post it's address?

My internet is very slow now and I don't have the energy to wait until the game is downloaded to check it out right now...
Sorry... I may try it later...
Or if you have a specific problem maybe I can remember a solution...

I lost my Heroes 1 Mac disk, after I learned that it needed to be in Classic Environment in order to run. I'm trying to find a way to burn it on a disk, but I can't seem to pull it off.

The link I posted above is a windows version and it should work well on XP. If it doesn't, than you can try downloading the regular version from the same site along with DosBox, the links and instructions are all on that site.

Rightclick your Heroes.exe, properties. There u will find some features which u can enable/disable. There is also a menu about DoS window, refering to size, full screen and so on...just check it out...
