Heroes Chronicles

	Heroes Chronicles ''Heroes Chronicles'' is a series of turn-based strategy video games developed by Jon Van Caneghem through New World Computing and published by the 3DO Company. The series was intended to introduce a new audience, such as casual gamers, to the ''Heroes of Might and Magic'' series. As part of that strategy, each installment of ''Chronicles'' was released as a low-cost episode containing a relatively short single-player campaign, and the difficulty level of each game was kept low. All ''Chronicles'' games are based on a limited version of the ''Heroes of Might and Magic III'' game engine, although the ability to play scenario maps and multiplayer games is not included in any ''Chronicles'' title. The series consists of eight installments released in five retail packages and supplemented by two downloadable packages. The first two titles, ''Warlords of the Wasteland'' and ''Conquest of the Underworld'', were released on September 27, 2000. The next two installments, ''Masters of the ...

	Episodic Video Games An episodic video game is a video game of a shorter length that is commercially released as an installment to a continuous and larger series. Episodic games differ from conventional video games in that they often contain less content but are developed on a more frequent basis.
