Arcomage is a popular minigame implemented in the Magic and Might series, games 7 & 8. They should consider adding the arcomage stand alone game to thier library.

Yes - You can always try this.

I would load a savegame just to play Arco when i was bored and waiting for the compiler to finish, probably spent more time on it than on the plot.

To be fair, the plot is actually better in Acromage than the M&M games, so nothing unusual about that.

Hubris might be of interest to you, too, while you're waiting for a GOG release of Arcomage. I'm not familiar with the original, but I enjoyed this little freeware clone made with AGS. :)

I saved a game in front of each arcomage location in M&M 8 to keep that game going. I saw they sold it as a stand-alone ages ago (I think it was only $10 or so at a store near me). I checked on Amazon: $90.

I have long lost those saves, but if anyone had a collection of saves in M&M 7 or 8 (or both) in front of the arcomage locations, I'm sure it'd be greatly appreciated.
