HOMAM3 was my favorite game during grad school times (sharing top spot with Civilizations 1-3) 30 years ago.
Those computers and disks were long gone, but 3 years ago I found it on GOG, looked up some online maps, found HotA expansion and we are now playing that a couple of hours a week with my wife after work.
If someone told me that a few years ago I would laugh. The game does have a staying appeal.
- bombcar 2y agoHot seat co-op comp stomp is some of the best conversational computer gaming around. It’s turn based so there’s no real world time urgency, only one person is actually “doing” anything at a time, so the others can lounge around and talk, and the game is just exceptionally polished (and even balanced with a few tiny house rules like no infinite ball of skeletons). The addons that stay true to the spirit make it even better. FAIR WARNING: the online versus play that still is quite active is an entirely different game; you must watch enough to learn what a “break” is and how the online etiquette goes. It’s very interesting because it’s the exact opposite of the favorite strategy of turtling until unstoppable.
