The Might and Magic series is a classic, no doubt. But for all out there who can't stand the bareness/rawness of MM1 (like me), I have two suggestions: 1. You can play the game with the helper program "Where are we?" (https://www.eskimo.com/~edv/lockscroll/WhereAreWe/) It aids you with an automap feature and extra windows for every information chart. 2. Get and play the NES version of the game. It has superior graphics, sounds and music besides the TurboGrafX CD version (but this one is only in japanese). It has an automap too.
