HoMM1 (Windows version)
And that's only in the last year, when I was here.
P.S. Sorry if that sounded harsh or rude, but I just wanted to make a point that it is there, people just don't bother to look for it. I mean, the second one was posted less than a week ago...
Edit:@Wog
Yes, the windows version should work on XP, though I've never tried it.
Anyway, if it gives you troubles (too fast or no sound) you can always download the DOS version along with DOSBox.

It's an .iso image-file. I suggest using Daemon-tools to drive it, just in case someone didn't know

Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you a completely redone HOMM1
Gog.com has remade HoMM 1 to work on all very modern editions of Windows.
Now, including Windows 10 X Edition version xxxx. So, the Dos-Box configuration sets it up to fill your screen(no matter the size of the display unit) in 800 x 600 of a wonderfully rendered resolution.
Plus, it is configured to use the latest in Direct X 9.0d(August 2010). You can only imagine the beautiful rendition of the graphics on all of these pre-made maps.
Campaigns are available but, must be very easy to accomplish as there are only 4(four)factions in this very first title of the series.
It is reduced in price to a mere $4.39 after the Summer 2018 discounted sale is deducted.
Bought it, installed it and, played the easiest map there is on Normal difficulty + won it after restarting it all over about 2(two) times in order to figure how this ancient game was working. I could not believe that there were no marketplaces anywhere to be found(in town or on the adventure map itself) and, no any other kind of market outpost like dwelling. No dimensional gates in sight nor any shipyards for using a boat to make a sneak attack from behind their towns(beaches were seen surrounding those towns). But, the shipyard could be built inside the town screen. It is only fitting that a town built right next to a large body of water could be the only one allowed to have such boat launch ramp like shipyard + dock.
All these marvels of a TBS game have been dropped right after Heroes III Complete. Such a shame!
