GaminGHD looks back at Might & Magic IV and finds it silly, strange and utterly unique.

I really wish someone would remake the older M&M games, especially III-V.

I actually just went over to GoG to grab this since I somehow don't own a copy and they have the M&M games 1-6 in a package for $2.50... so for the price of a coffee, I get to check out Xeen again. Cool.

I think M&M X got approved because the success of Legend of Grimrock, but didn't do as well as they had hoped with the number of sales. I enjoyed it, and wish they would make another, but I am not holding my breath for one.
I also hope the new Bard's Tale is a success.
I have been keeping my eye on this one that releases tomorrow, The Deep Paths: Labyrinth Of Andokost, though I don't know how it will compare yet.

I replay the M&M games every year or two, and I doubt I'll ever stop replaying them. They are just that good.

I remember being blown away by Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World. Only had a Megadrive/Genesis console and a game that was so massive was amazing. I still remember it had an option called Initialise Game, which would wipe all progress, saves characters etc. Every now and then someone would do that by mistake lol.
My favourite though was Might and Magic 7 For Blood and Honour, I thoroughly enjoyed restoring Harmondale, it was just so much fun.
I didn't care for Might and Magic X Legacy, I was very much looking forward to it enjoying any screenshot that I saw. Though when it finally came out I just couldn't stand it.
Thinking of games as old as M&M2 makes me think of Rings of Power, another game that seemed ridiculously big to me at the time. I still remember the intro music, the sound of flying around and devastating spells. Great stuff.

I remember it for my Apple //c and I was shocked at the level of detail they managed to cram in. And by detail I mean little things, like syncing the horse at the beginning chomping on grass with clicks from the disk drive. And the incredible detail on the brickwork. The Gold Box games were so ugly compared to Might and Magic.
Sadly, by the time I got around to checking out World of Xeen etc., they were long past their prime and held no nostalgia factor for me.

I liked M&M X just fine, thought it was a fun game for the time - I remember it came out around the time Xulima did and both were fun titles. I probably enjoyed M&M X a little more just because of the 'feel' of the game.
I enjoyed M&M X as well, but I felt it should have been about 10%-15% shorter. That final area was a real slog.

M&M X was ok, but i hated the loot in the game.
I'd level up my party to the point when i could finally take out a powerful creature and the reward was a weapon none of my characters could even use.
