Pocket Heroes Version 1.01 Released!
"Pocket Heroes is a fantasy turn-based strategy (TBS) with elements of a role-playing game (RPG). The universe continues the one from the Heroes of Might and Magic series. The game is quite complex and can be divided in two parts: the development part and the fighting part. The first one involves raising a castle n order to recruit creatures. For doing this you need resources and gold that you gather from terrain or mines. In order to advance in the game and reveal the territory, you�ll have to fight against monsters and other players. You can do this by giving armies to your heroes and going into enemies� land. A skilled tactician will have to know the timing for development and fighting, as this is crucial for winning."
I remember spending a lot of time playing HOMM in my *ahem* younger days. Now here's a chance to relive those memories via iO UPG's Windows Mobile-port, which appears to be a fairly faithful rendition. Pocket Heroes can be purchased through PayPal for $19.95 on the Pocket Heroes website, with a demo available.

One thing I forgot to mention: Square screens are not supported at this time, so you can only play this game if your device is standard QVGA or VGA.

No special hacks! It rotates the screen into what would be landscape on a 320x240 screen and reduces the size a little, but it seems to work fine. If you look at the supported devices on the website, it specifically says it supports the 750!
Enjoy!

Love this game
Now I've been playing the 0.41 version for ages. I downloaded the 1.01 version as soon as I could, but it doesn't seem to work on my Ipaq 3850 even though it is on the approved list. Anybody have any luck getting it running on a 3850?
Thanks,
