Might and Magic® 6-pack Limited Edition

Mine wouldn't work ... I was so excited to play mandate of heaven when it came up with an error ;;(

I appreciate GOG's Preservation Program and was a bit intrigued by the gushing reviews so thought I'd give these a try. I'm actually a little ashamed that I couldn't appreciate them but they are truly awful. Look I wasn't expecting Neverwinter Nights or KOTOR. I really dig some old skool games - I own Ultima Underworld 1&2 (discs and GOG download) and still find a lot of playability in these 1992-4 classics. I even dig out Lords Of Midnight & Doomdark's Revenge from time to time (look them up) but these... M&M 1/2 - screeching monochromatic music (worse than early ZX Spectrum games), completely unplayable (M&M1 I couldn't even start the game cos the Start key is the '#' key and it must have moved position since 1986). M&M 3/4/5 - Better music but just one endless ditty that goes round and round driving you mad. As for playability they are still (mid-90s now!!!!!) using that awful move forward an entire block every time you take a step (just like Lords & Doomdark but they were 1982-4 speccy games). M&M6 - I've yet to try... the first five depressed me so much I had to go and play NWN2. Honestly, you lot who are giving these sad efforts 4 and 5 stars need to try Ultima Underworld 1&2 - these Looking Glass classics are older than most of this six-pack but so *so* much more playable. Peace

The only games not made for dos series are MM6-MM9. So this pack pretty much gives you only 1 playable game (MM6)
