Or maybe do like NintendoAge do with their reproductions- after a certain number of cartridges are sold (usually the first print run) the ROM image is released for free. A paid ROM image release would at least allow more people to enjoy the full game. This won’t stop piracy, nor will only releasing on cartridge though.

I hope that they will offer a paid ROM image that is complete, like the planned cartridge release. This kind of sucks since not everyone will be able to afford the cost of the cartridge, but the developers have every right to expect compensation for their original works. There are also talks about there being a different version available in ROM format for those that wish to play the game in emulators. PSCD currently plan for “Heroes” as they are calling it, to avoid possibly copyright infringement with Ubi Soft (current owners of the Heroes of Might and Magic franchise) to be released supporting English and Russian languages. Master of Monsters might have been a decent choice if they were to hack something available already- or even Gemfire to a lesser degree. This may have played into their decision to do an original game instead of a hack of something else. There really is nothing that the team at PSCD could really pull that would even remotely fit the required bill of Heroes of Might and Magic. Super Mario Bros on the NES is a popular choice for action games for instance. This is rather interesting since we mostly see ROM hacks and the like that take an already available title and simply change it to become something else. The team of Russian programmers over at PSCD are working on a wholly original release for the Sega Genesis, aka Sega Mega Drive outside the United States. Now, the Sega Genesis is being prepared to be the latest recipient of a Heroes of Might and Magic title- the first in about four years. Primarily released on Windows and DOS over the years, we have seen the Mac and Linux receive a game or two in the series. For those that don’t know Heroes of Might and Magic, it is a turn based strategy series that expands on the classic turn based role playing game series. This is great news for turn based strategy fans, and definitely fans of the computer series- which has not graced a cartridge based console, yet (I am ignoring the Game Boy Color remakes). Heroes of Might and Magic is coming to the Sega Genesis, on a cartridge even.
