It doesn't work for me. I launch it using DOSBox, select the Sorceress, enter the name, difficulty level, and then it asks me to enter something, a word, I enter it, press Enter, and I get a black screen. This happens both in DOS and Windows.

There should be a *com file in the game folder, so you need to run that!:) And then in the field where you need to enter a password, just press ENTER! And that's it, enjoy!:)

GUYS, can you believe it, I found a Russian version of the game, I can share it if anyone wants...:)
But it definitely requires DosBox:( But you can download it, and if not, I'll share it:) :) :)

I need it! I've had DosBox since I was a kid (I really wanted to play Monkey Island, by the way, has anyone heard of this old but great game?).
P.S. Guys, do you know if there's a Load button (on the game screen, not in the menu) or at least an Exit to main menu button?

Strangely enough, the game runs for me under XP SP1 without an emulator. But I'll provide instructions for the emulator.

Brief instructions for using the emulator.

1. Run dosbox.exe
2. In the window with the Z:\> prompt, enter commands.
3. First, copy the game to a separate directory, say c:\game.
4. Now you need to "make" this directory a separate drive. To do this, enter the command:

Mount "drive letter for the emulated drive" "real directory"
In our case:
mount x c:\game

A message will appear:
X mounted as local directory c:\game[br][/br]
5. Now you need to switch to this drive X (we are in DOS).

Enter the command to change the directory:
x:

The prompt will change to:
x:\>

6. All that remains is to run the game's executable file:
kb.exe

Changing the program speed:
ctrl + f11 - slow down the emulation
ctrl + f12 - speed up

It can be done much easier if someone has Far (a useful file manager). In the first window, open the DosBox folder, in the second, the Kingsbounty folder, then click on dosbox.exe Ctrl+Enter, click on KB.com Ctrl+F, Tab, Enter

to NIK312: I played Monkey Island, but it's in English, do you have a Russian version (sorry for the off-topic).

Downloaded the Russian version. It runs at work without an emulator. Windows XP SP3. I'll see how it works at home.

The game didn't run without DosBox at home. With it, it launched in a small window. I had to create a batch file to play in full screen. IMHO, it's a masterpiece for 1990. Downloaded Heroes 1. I'll be experimenting.

In DosBox, you need to press Alt+Enter, and it will be in full screen!!;) Heroes 1 works for me without DosBox and even with sound:) ...

I don't play it anymore; I think I got 52396 points, but I don't know how to get more.

Indeed, a great game... 3DO did a good job... They probably didn't know it would be such a success :)

I can't help but correct such a glaring mistake: King's Bounty was not created by 3DO, but by New World Computing!!! (3DO, starting in 1995 (I think... I'm not sure), became the publisher of New World Computing's games, but only the publisher, not the developer!).
But in general, yes, the game is old, but it is truly great!
Without it, there wouldn't be the beloved Heroes series... :)
