Fury,

Heroes II is essentially an RPG, but is basically the funnest game I've ever played and I never get into RPGs. If you're interested, drop me a PM with your email and I'll email you a copy (since Heroes II is abandonware, it is free to distribute.)

I'm a pretty poor one to pass judgement, however, seeing as I've never used one before If you want to toss some thoughts around, however, I'm happy to entertain the idea and see if we, the fheroes2 team, can do something about it in the future!

Jdm,

I know this is a little off topic from iPhone discussions, but I have some questions about your fheroes2 project:

1. What exactly is the purpose of the fheroes2 project?
2. Since Heroes II is already Windows based, what exactly are you porting?

If we can answer these questions, maybe we can spark some more interest in an iPhone port.
