minus-squareSharkticon@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·17 days agoWhat on Earth is with the system requirements for this game? It requires a gigabyte of space? Heroes of Might and Magic 3? How’s that possible? Judging from the pictures it is not updated or remastered or anything.

minus-squarechicken@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·17 days agoI think I remember its demo being around a 20MB download (for sure under 100) so the full version was probably way less than a whole CD
minus-squareboonhet@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·17 days agoI’m seeing an 848 MB split rar archive in at least one torrent for “complete” edition. This is an 18 year old torrent too, that’s not the remastered version which is more like 3 GB. PCGamingWiki does show 425 MB in the requirements, but that’s likely without the expansions.

minus-squareEager Eagle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·16 days agoI get that, but based on what? 1GB unpacked seems reasonable for a 1999 game that was likely distributed on CDs. Not at all surprising.
