Lafazar: Another problem: When you try to leave the first city, there is a copy protection check. You have to enter a password from the manual. Unfortunately the manual provided by GOG is not compatible with this copy protection check.
The correct passwords can be found here:

Viking: I had the same problem but then found a Keys pdf file in the install directory under the Start - Programs installation path. This links to a keys_3_5.pdf file that gets installed in both the mm3 and mm4+5 directory.

Oops, I didn't notice that. Thanks.

Yay, it's released without having to fix the link! :D

FlameWhip: Just compare MM6 and Dark Messiah *SHUDDER* just because Dark Messiah has MUCH better graphics does not mean it is as good (anywhere near as good).

Thiev: Those are two different types of games and as such, shouldn't be compared (IMHO). Messiah is actually quite good but by no means RPG.

Yeah, Dark Messiah is fun but definately not a RPG. However, if you like to kick people off cliffs or into spikes or into fires or other traps, there is no finer game. ;)

Gotta love Dark Messiah's combat options. Although I did wonder why racks of spikes were considered such a fashion accessory by city folk.

Krankor: So are we all going to start from the 1st game and work through?
I hate to think how long all this will take to complete :)

I've completed 3-7, so I'm planning to hit 1 and 2 in order, and then Swords of Xeen - or maybe Swords of Xeen and then 1-2.
3-5 were lengthy games, but 6 and 7 are crazy long. I think those two took me 60+ hours each to finish, and I'm sure I didn't take my time as much as some folks would.

Blimey! We also need to fit in some UT2004 time too bud!

Finally! I've been going nuts waiting for this to come out.

Drying fish and meat on maybe?

Sielle: I have a feeling a LOT of the games sold on GOG are for nostalgia reasons. We played them long ago when they were first released, and want to go back and play them again. And it's so cheap it's worth it for 5 hours or so of game play before they're shelved again for a few years.

It's not my case - I had never played most of the games I bought on GOG. There are a few I bought again from GOG, either because I wanted to support GOG, or because I wanted a version without CD checks or compatibility problems with modern OSs.
The only game I might have bought for "nostalgia reasons" would be Duke 3D. ;-)

Battlechess here.

Possible, I suppose. If so then there were a lot of fishmongers and butchers without any stock. At least until I generously provided some strange meat, that is.

Same here. The only game I've bought here that I already owned was Earthworm Jim. But I owned the SNES version. So that doesn't really count. Most are games that interested me when they were released but for whatever reason I didn't buy them at the time.

How cool was it when the GOG installer finishes and you see the M&M Book 1 icon appear on your desktop followed by 2, 3 etc.
I know I'm sad, but that was a sweet moment in my day.

Lots of childhood memories...definitely worth the money (which isn't that much anyway).
Thank you guys at GOG

I must have clocked over 20 hours on Die by the Sword, experimenting with various weapons and characters. On Hostile Waters, I think I clocked about 10 hours. The amount of value in the games literally pay for them.
