King's Bounty is widely considered to be the precursor for much of the gameplay in the Heroes of Might and Magic series (the Might and Magic series being the basis for the storyline), both of which were published by New World Computing and designed by Jon Van Caneghem.
King's Bounty is included in some HOMM anthologies, including the Heroes of Might and Magic Compendium and Heroes of Might and Magic Millenium Edition. The anthology versions also provide a native executable for Windows, though not fully supported in Windows NT-based operating systems.
A King's Bounty boardgame was also released in 1991 by Task Force Games. Like its computer game counterpart, the object of the game is to catch villains in a fantasy setting. However, other features differ, the villains' names are different and three designers, not including Van Caneghem, are credited for the creation of the game. Interestingly, the cover of both the computer game version and the boardgame version are the same, implying some connection between the two.
