Unless you're a hardcore gamer with a lot of imagination, skip the first two. This series really starts at the 3rd MaM and the storyline is gripping and ends at the 5th game of the series. The 6th game (I'm probably going to have to state is the best one in the series and the 7th right behind it) starts off a whole new storyline and doesn't introduce any of the future sci-fi, just all straight up Medieval Fantasy! The storyline for the 6th one starts after HoMM 2 if I'm not mitstaken (a lot of easter eggs you can find). Get this bundle if you have a few weeks to spare, because it's going to take you about that long if you spend 24/7 on it. Addicting and an immersful world(s)
