If you'd care for an interesting read about the history of <i>Might and Magic</i>, Hardcore Gaming 101 published <a href="/http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/mighta ... .htm">this article</a> a while ago, taking the readers from Book I in 1986 to M&M VI twelve years later.

Hardcore Might and Magic
There are a lot of mistakes in story summaries, but that's not really important for the article focused on gameplay aspect of the series and its release history. From this standpoint the article is very nice and well composed, not to mention great screenshots. Truly nostalgic indeed.
Make you strong places to dwell and practice the evil of your arts. Build great monuments to stand through the ages and remind your followers of the task with which you have been charged. Use these halls of iniquity to perpetrate your schemes against the infestation that has taken the fields and lakes of this land from you, their rightful masters. Never forget the hatred that must finally overcome and consume mankind. Dwell in your dungeons and brood. - Sheltem the Dark

Not a bad article, but I have to snort derisively at this, about MM 6:
"There are also no arrows on the map to tell you where you need to go (as in the latest Elder Scrolls and Fallout games) either, making it difficult to find out exactly where you need to go."
Oh noes, how did anyone ever manage complete the game!? *derisive snort*
PS: hardcore? HAH! *scoff*

I didn't listen to this, but if he actually said this then all I can say is "WTF?" The only games that should have an arrow pointing the direction are racing games (in case you spin out, you need to know which way the track goes)Ethric wrote:Not a bad article, but I have to snort derisively at this, about MM 6:

In some JRPGs, they are nice to show where you entered a region from and where possible exits are.
Also, the M&M games are generally quite free-form, with lots of quests simultaneously going on. Arrows would be useless here.

Such patents are often recognized only within USA Territory. So, outside world is free of them. Or can be, luckily.

(was it in audio? I only read it) No, I'm not making this up, that's a copy/paste quote. Thus the scoffing.Qurqirish Dragon wrote:I didn't listen to this, but if he actually said this then all I can say is "WTF?"
They try to patent anything these days. The trouble is when the various local laws\courts let them...GreatEmerald wrote:I recall reading somewhere that arrows pointing to the goal are patented. Not that it stops people from using, them, though.
Patent infringement!
