Back in the day there was a company called Microprose and it was good.
If Microprose published your game, you were one hell of a developer.
Master of Magic was one of these games. From the HUGE install back in the day (like 25 Megs) and the HUGE 1.5 MB intro (I'm old. Sue me. I know what a 2400 BAUD is) this game had it all. I'd spend hours in the creation portions. The game is old to be sure, however, it will hold up. All the good from the awful 'Heroes of Might and Magic' series (seriously. Boooo-ring) and all the good from civilisation made this into a powerfully addicting game. When I heard GOG was releasing it I had to go change pants.
Good for GOG. Good for the developer. Good for you for reading this and buying it....even if you personally like HOMM.
