I first played the third installment in the summer of '99; before that, I had been playing the second game for about a year and a half. My parents went to their country house, and I threw a party. One of my friends brought "The Restoration of Erathia," but we didn't play it then – alcohol, rock and roll, and pretty girls took precedence. In the middle of the night, I got up to get a drink of water and remembered the third game. 1. I chose the Castle faction – I really liked the archangel on the cover. The hero was Loins. I don't remember the map, but I played several games in a row. The difficulty level was "Knight." 2. I won. 3. What surprised me most was when I heard a woman laughing. I looked away from the computer – the sun was shining outside, and I was sitting naked on a stool in front of the computer, while my classmate, wrapped in a sheet, was laughing hysterically. Nine years have passed, and I still can't stop playing Heroes. I play all the installments, except for the fourth.
