True, Lucky. The first 3 were considered to have very good graphics for their time. 4 and 5 didn't get much comment either way, 6 and 7 started the complaining phase, and 8 was crucified for using the same engine.

While I had a good time with the earlier entries in the series, 6 and 7 will always be what I'm thinking of first when I mention Might & Magic.
