Heroes of Might and Magic III gone Gold

Heroes of Might and Magic III lands in February 1999 as PC hardware makers keep pushing faster chips, cards, drivers, and gaming peripherals.

Heroes of Might and Magic III has gone gold, which means development has cleared the big finish line and manufacturing is next.

The names attached here include Developed, New World Computing, Heroes III, Well, and Stunning. The hook is LAN and strategy. The hard numbers include The 3, 3.5, and 100%.

The hardware race is getting mean now. Every new board, driver, chip, and oddball peripheral is trying to be the thing that makes your rig feel less old by next week.
