Task Force would eventually secure a more direct contract with Paramount Pictures, the owners of Star Trek, but their game would always live on precarious legal ground, entirely at the sufferance of a corporate overlord which seemed only intermittently to realize that it existed.

Two plucky freshly minted Texas Tech graduates named Stephen Cole and Allen Eldridge had founded Task Force in 1978, whereupon they had managed to acquire a license for one of the biggest science-fiction properties in the world by employing a circuitous - not to say dubious - stratagem: they had sub-licensed the intellectual property from Franz Joseph, the author of a tome called the Star Trek Star Fleet Technical Manual. The publisher of Star Fleet Battles was an Amarillo, Texas-based outfit known as Task Force Games. Indeed, the self-described Star Fleet Battles вЂњfanaticвЂќ found time amidst the run up to the release of the original Might and Magic to win the gameвЂ™s biggest tournament in 1986, thus securing for himself the status of best player in the world as of that instant in time. His love for it persisted even after he decided to become a computer-game entrepreneur. One of the young Jon Van CaneghemвЂ™s favorite tabletop games was Star Fleet Battles, a вЂњsimulationвЂќ of outer-space combat in the Star Trek universe.

More specifically, it was the belated fruit of what had once seemed a quixotic attempt on his part to bridge the analog-versus-digital split in gaming - a venture which dated back to more than seven years before the first game in the Heroes series arrived in late 1995. Heroes of Might and Magic was as heavily influenced by the delightfully tactile boards, cards, counters, and dice which had marked his adolescence as it was by anything he had seen or done on a computer since. As we learned in the last article, its principal creator Jon Van Caneghem was a tabletop gamer long before he became a computer gamer, much less a computer-game designer and programmer. When we dig a bit deeper, we find that the origins of HeroesвЂs retro tabletop sensibility are as explicable as its popularity is inexplicable. And yet it sold millions upon millions of copies. All of this gave the series the feel of - dare I say it? - a board game, at a time when such things were deeply out of fashion with digital gamers looking for the latest and greatest in immersive whiz-bang pyrotechnics. The Heroes of Might and Magic series of fantasy strategy games was an anomaly during its period of peak popularity at the turn of the millennium: it remained defiantly turn-based in an industry that had gone almost entirely real-time, and it likewise continued to rely on lovingly hand-drawn pixel art in lieu of trendy 3D graphics.
