Or if you still have - original own CD.Īlthough, for both offline and online released games, its better to instal few first hotfix-patches.

Probably some p2p releases of redump-PC-set-H (Internet Archive someties have links). As for Heroes 2 1.0 - original DOS disc image.

Old warez scene releases, tweaks for Steam to download oldest manifests if Steam still have files itself and not only manifest depots.ĮA games can changed a lot. Same way - game image (stamp) - but hard ways to get it. So only disc images.įor origianally digital released games, for EA origianlly released games. Some plot changing (only minor i guess, eg Warcraft 3 Undeads heroes from exact ones to random - still they appearance is canon, last 1.27b TFT version change a lot even balance, although it have 4 differ tech-tree).įor old CD-games - they not lost. Almost every games have unique content in most earliest game versions. So, it is still there for offline build? Which one - DosBox or native Win (two differ installers from GOG)? There is still eBay, but I don't think it's worth paying more money :P I already tried sailing the high seas to find an original CD image, but the best I got was Windows version of 'Platinum Edition' (base game + expansion, don't ask me why it wasn't referred to as 'Gold' edition) which did come with its own launcher screen art (platinum coloured obviously) and orchestral jingle, but yeah - still not what I'm looking for! I also found a copy for The Succession Wars alone, but only the DOS version already pre-installed and configured for use with DOSBOX, so yeah - that bypassed any launcher screen pop-up I'd get from launching from a disc image. Back in the day, I was playing HoMM II: The Succession Wars on Windows 98, so I guess the version I am referring to is the original Windows (not DOS) edition of HoMM II: The Succession Wars (you can correct me if I'm wrong, I cannot check as I no longer have the physical copy of the game).
Regarding the original launcher screen assets (with the rotating globe buttons and that cool sound I mentioned) which would pop up after inserting the CD-ROM into the PC, I'm afraid they're lost to time. Yes, thanks QWEEDDYZ, indeed there is this music switch function in the GOG build, which is a nice feature. This is six music tracks changed with PoL addon as well as old ones. Yes, there is music tracks for both versions in GOG Galxy build This swticher refer to bat-files that copy-paste one or another files from temp folders to folder used by game. Maybe not in all three GOG builds? You can get main menu theme from base game.

Example: with Nox, the installation process from original CD-ROM actually provided exclusive lore - thankfully, someone posted a video on Youtube of the original installation of the game, thereby preserving access to the full story of the game for future generations (I literally downloaded the video and put it into my GOG Nox installation folder along with other - already provided - goodies). So barring getting my hands on a CD or CD image, I guess I will never see those globes and hear that cool sound again :PĮDIT2: I will add that for those who care about preservation, such things matter. Just like with Westwood games, original launcher screens in the 90s (and - especially with Westwood - even installation processes) were often elaborate, artful things which may contain exclusive sounds, art, and even lore (not accessible in-game).

I realise this is the most tiny of things one can remember but sweet baby I freely admit I was looking forward to that 'options' sub-menu or whatever, and wanted to hear those sounds again when hovering the mouse over the globes!Īny info on how to track that stuff down would be much appreciated!ĮDIT: damn, I think I know where that menu from my memory comes from - it's not exactly a sub-menu in-game, it is the original launcher screen! Obviously you could select a globe but I cannot remember for what purpose (was it to set the resolution? was it to check out some video trailer for an upcoming game?). And while I recognise most things now with the GOG version which includes the expansion, I know for sure that something is missing: there was an 'options' sub-menu I think, and it had like 2 planets/globes which were still images until you hovered the mouse over them, at which point they would animate/spin and a cool, ominous 'magical' sound played (and looped IIRC). I have to ask: originally, I had a CD version that only had the base game, not the expansion. So I just got back to HoMM 2 for the first time since my teenage years.
