One of the biggest fantasy series in gaming history.
Might and Magic is one of the defining series of role-playing games that shaped the way we game today along with the Ultima series, The Bard's Tale or Wizardry series. Today, we're offering 16 fantastic Might and Magic games in our catalog for little more than $25 in Might and Magic Madness.
The first game in the series was released 16 years ago! Let's read how the game was reviewed in [url=http://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue87/Might_and_Magic.php" target="_blank]Compute![/url] magazine in August 1987:
"Might and Magic is an outstanding adventure game. This new release has the potential to take its place alongside The Bard's Tale and Wizard's Crown among the best in the genre. Might and Magic, all 500K of it (done entirely in machine language), contains just about every conceivable fantasy element crammed onto two double-sided disks. Over 4,000 individual locations, each graphically represented, comprise the 55 areas that make up the fantasy world of Varn. On Varn, towns, dungeons, castles, caves, wilderness, and even astral planes have their own themes, difficulty ratings, and special events. It is up to you to traverse this vast and varied fantasy world in order to gain wealth, experience, and the secret of the Inner Sanctum."
If you’ve never played any Might and Magic games, we’d suggest you pick up the 6 pack start with Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven. After you’re done, get Might and Magic 7: For Blood and Honor, Might and Magic 8: Day of the Destroyer, and Might and Magic 9 to complete the Mightily Magical experience.
Heroes of Might and Magic is probably the most recognizable, acclaimed, and legendary of the whole Might and Magic series. The perfect mix of strategy (many opponents, many castles, many heroes), RPG (gathering experience and leveling), resource management (gathering resources, managing armies) is considered a worldwide standard. It says a lot about the impact of a game series on the industry if other games are reviewed as HoMM-like. It doesn’t matter whether it's Heroes of Might and Magic, Heroes of Might and Magic II: Gold Edition, Heroes of Might and Magic III: Complete, Heroes Chronicles: All Chapters, or Heroes of Might and Magic IV: Complete--each of them is a game so simple to understand and yet so insanely addictive that it will make you want to play “just one more turn” over and over again. If you’ve never played as the Hero, we recommend starting with Heroes of Might and Magic III: Complete Edition--the title considered to be iconic to the series, the magnum opus of 3DO. And if you've ever played any of the M&M games, now it's time to complete your collection, today 75% off in Might and Magic Madness!
