In 3 games, local play only, I dropped through the green three to five times. When that's 99% of what your game is it's kinda unforgiveable for it to happen that often.
These are six of the best examples of American born RPGs there ever was AND all for one low price together. Each one capable of absorbing months worth of your time as you search for the answer to the quest (which, admittedly, was darn easy to lose sight of) or just plain upgrading your party with new gear or hirelings. Might and Magic and Might and Magic 2 are what introduced me to role-playing games. Final Fantasy 2 and 3 may have solidified my love for them, but it was Might and Magic 2 that got me on the path of the role-playing game. In my opinion these are far superior to the old AD&D gold box offerings which more often than not left you frustrated and Ultima which if you lost the booklet you were SOL. The core gameplay of M&M is form a party and set out on your quest. Movement is accomplished going N-S-E-W on a grid. A minmap lets you know where you are, but maps are limited so you'll wind up making your own with graph paper. Combat consists of taking turns with the creatures you encounter based on speed. Either attack with your weapons or use spells, depending on the classes of your party. Leveling is somewhat slow and infrequent, but since you need to visit a trainer to accomplish the actual leveling up this is fine. Ultimately it's a fairly standard group of RPGs in regards to gameplay, but there's literally thousands of things to find and do. Sphinx riddles, dungeons galore, quests, you will never run out of things to do. Don't wait, buy this now and see why we love it.
