Might and Magic® 6-pack Limited Edition

I have not seen great games often anymore. The days when games had crappy graphics also seemed to be all about concepts that you don't see often in AAA titles. Ironically, while triple-A is a money concept indie gamers are producing some of the best stuff we have not seen since the days of R6 or Ghost Recon, RTS games like what CaveDog used to make and RPGs that were more about new ways of advancing the genre than graphics. But progress made is not always progress. At least not from triple-A guys. On the other hand, we still do some pretty amazing first time concepts now and then before the publisher horks it up. Some examples: The Witcher Series, Dragon Age (First one please), System Shock 2, Bio-Shock (the first), Mass Effect (the one and only), KOTOR (or is it kotex), Dishonored, Portal Series, Half-Life, and a plug for the very original Thief. Yeah. Some of these are older and some are newer but let's face it. These kind are not coming out often and it is for that reason many of us, who still like gaming as games and not a lifestyle, career, whatever still ove the old games. These games, while shitty on graphics, at least remain something that is still fun.

Thanks for bringin MM6 here! You guys rock!

If you play any of these games, the next series is very similar, there is very small amount of new things. So like if you start with VI, the VII is practically same boring experience.

I've played most of the way through Might and Magic 6. While the world exploration and building up your characters is fun the story is pretty mundane and drip fed to you through hours and hours of fetch quests which all inevitably involve clearing out a dungeon. It gets a little tedious. For a a better open world party based RPG from the same era I recommend Betrayal at Krondor. Significantly better story and depth of play. I also put in about 15-20 hours of Might and Magic 1 and hand drew many maps. I can only recommend that title for real masochists.

For the price it is pretty hard to pass up this compilation, so many renowned rpgs from the 80s and 90s in it. And these games are not easy, the first 2 are brutal to relative rpg's casual gamers like myself. those flesheaters, i cant get past them. I am having a great time with Isles of Terra now, i will come back to the previous 2 later i think, but Isles of Terra has it all - day night cycles, food consumption, levelling up, weapons and armour need repairs, lots of orcs and goblins and crab people, a battle arena to gain experience in too. enemies may respawn but not right away, more randomly but one can feasibly clear a dungeon of enemies completely so it is not irritating in that respect like some other old rpgs, also i am thankful for the save function which i am not sure the previous 2 have. its a lot like the Ishar games but with a bit more going on under the hood and one can move around much faster. all in all a must buy for any retro rpg fans
