No need to pirate the game. It can be legally bought without any DRM (nor the “game not found” issue) over at GOG: https://www.gog.com/game/heroes_of_might_and_magic_5_bundle https://www.gog.com/game/heroes_of_might_and_magic_5_bundle Actually, general consensus is that HOMM3 is the best of the Heroes of Might and Magic games: https://www.gog.com/game/heroes_of_might_and_magic_3_complete_edition https://www.gog.com/game/heroes_of_might_and_magic_3_complet... Even though HOMM3 is from the 20th century, there are still fan made expansions updating the game here in the 2020s, e.g. https://h3hota.com/ https://h3hota.com/

For disc versions or botched official releases gamecopyworld still seems to be there. Back when games still came on discs, i downloaded the crack even before trying to install a freshly bought game. Ofc, this is mostly a moot point now with GoG. If GoG manages to convince the publisher to let them sell the game without DRM. Edit @stavros: You and anyone suffering from nostalgia should check GoG regularly :) I probably have most of my childhood games on there now.

There's even active HoMM3 PvP streamer community with several thousands live audience on Youtube and Twitch. There are also addons, and community, for Heroes 4 and 5, but two magnitudes smaller.

  Wait what? Wow Heroes 3 is a childhood game of mine. I remember spending hours in the map editor just drawing maps and placing enemies and resources all around. Glad to see it still alive and kicking! Who to watch?

    My favorite player by far: https://www.twitch.tv/theknownworld https://www.twitch.tv/theknownworld - mostly weekly streams https://www.youtube.com/user/TheKnownWorld https://www.youtube.com/user/TheKnownWorld - some informational videos (strategies and such) as well as challenges against computers. Great explanations on the why/how and you get to watch at your own pace. I enjoy these more than the streams. Unfortunately he has run out of challenge ideas I think hehe

HOMM 2 and HOMM3 were probably the most underrated games of the 90s These games stood their own even in the age of Warcraft 2. I nmhave yet to see a friend that, after being shown how to play the game, would not be totally hooked on HOMM2-3. To this day, the only (old) game several friends will randomly want to boot are the HOMM series.
