King's Bounty served as inspiration for several clones, remakes and adaptations.

Heroes of Might and Magic

Those games are much more popular than King's Bounty itself. Developed by New World Computing, largely by the same team. See [HOMM3_Intro] for expert from a manual detailing this relationship.

ZX Spectrum clones

Hard to find and to distinguish between each other and made by several programmers, there are multitude of clones. It seems all were made by Russian programmers.

A unofficial remake, with all the original graphics. Russian programmer single-handedly. Platform: Electronika BK.

King's Bounty 2

DOS-era, unofficial sequel, made by a Russian (or Ukrainian, not sure) programmer single-handedly. Rumored to be incomplete, lacking a last continent. Introduced unconventional game-play changes, such as an ability to adjust the adventure map, by cutting down trees and blasting away rocks.

King's Bounty Pocket PC

A very faithful clone, with all the original graphics, and probably correct gameplay mechanics. Author is hard to pinpoint, as no original website exists. Feels like Russian production again! Made for Pocket PC platform (will work on Windows Mobile 5.0+ and Microsoft Smartphone 2002+), that is largely obsolete now days.

Flash's Bounty
