Anyone from around here snagged this one yet? It pretty much looks the same as the last one, which may or may not be a good thing. I know I'll eventually get it anyway but I wouldn't mind hearing your take on it. It's not a question of money so much as it it finding time to play these days. thanks, Eric

I attempted to play it, and was promptly told that my computer did not have a large enough video card memory. Go to their web site and look up the specs. If your computer can handle it -- try the demo and then decide. I've been playing HOMM V for years, and still am -- so I was a bit disappointed that I could not run HOMM VI without some major upgrades. -- R.
