Might and Magic® 6-pack Limited Edition

MM2 was the 2nd computer game I played once I got my commodore 64. Bards Tale 2 beat it by a week. Thanks to GOG I have all the MM games including Heros and the best part they are patched and no CD required. I could write a book on the pros of these games. The replay ability on it is endless and its fun to see what happens when you use different groups for each class and race bring something to the mix. If you want a great RPG experience and lots of fun then you found the right Game pack for you!

All in the title you know if you know

Just one of these games has the play time and entertainment value of six modern games. And you get six of them!

Hmmm... this dungeon looks pretty simple. I've already cleaned 20-ish rooms. There can't be too much more of it. Ah, here's a door. Let's step through it. Now I'm suddenly facing 350 enemies. Literally. Well... here we go! Welcome to the world of Might and Magic VI! A bit more seriously: Fully open world, with fantastic, diverse locations, amazing (melancholic and beautiful) music, plenty of true WTF moments, and of course unbalanced but endlessly FUN gameplay! New Sorpigal is my second home! 11 points out of 10.

This includes 7 games; Might and Magic 1-6, and Swords of Xeen. Might and Magic 1 and 2 are a lot harder to get into, being late 80's cRPGs leaning heavily on the Wizardry style. They're stuffed full of stuff to find, especially compared to it's forbears, and 2 even adds an automap. But they still rely heavily on grind to progress, and with a lot larger world and more to do, that grind adds up tremendously. Starting with 3, it transitions into more a hybrid of Dungeon Master and Wizardry. Grind is all but eliminated. Early combats (especially those Moose Rats!) are more difficult, but the challenge blends to a comfortable level quickly; neither too hard, nor too easy. Also starting with 3, automap and notes make things a lot easier to progress. The Graphics, sound, and UI hold up well today, being clean and intuitive. 6 saw the series transition to a full 3D world. Character creation was heavily simplified in one aspect, but made more engaging by the new skill system as well. Graphics, being early 3D, don't hold up as well as the last couple of 2D titles, but are still clear and not bad. This does work in WINE, but not Windows. GoG has decided to stop selling functioning games, unfortunately, but you can install a much better OS and WINE without issue.
