What exactly is this...

Speaking of Might and Magic (7) I recall being utterly dumbfounded regarding this picture that appears on the box:

Ideas regarding it? Or is it just promotional?

If you require any assistance on the software development front I'd be happy to contribute (I work as a systems programmer however I also have a decade or so of application development experience including game development) From what I've gleamed you're intending on reusing the game engine employed ...

I shelved the game shortly after playing for a few hours and that's all it took for me to be aware of most of the references made in this thread. [ Cons ] My first gripe with the game is the graphics; they lack detail and were quite painful to look at in comparison to previous entries in the series....

[ Might & Magic VII ] Graphics

I'm don't know about you guys, but I dislike the 'tinting' method applied when using video hw-acceleration in MM7; I prefer the software-rendered look where monster features appear more distinct when coloured to differentiate between monster sub-types. Unfortunately though, without hw-acceleration t...

The file isn't missing, it's in the same directory as the executable; as mentioned, if I replace it (mss32) with a different version the game can find it, but complains about other things.

I heard something about a 1.2b patch that fixes the problem, yet to find it though.

[ MM6 ] Technical Problem

After installing MM6 (v1.2) I'm receiving an error when attempting to run the game, along the lines of: "Pager initialization error 2 - the system cannot find the specified file (mss32.dll)" Obviously the file can be found, due to when using a different version of it, there's other complai...

Looking to download the M&M series?

Figured I'd share this, complete download (hell, it even includes the box art) for MM1-9;

Link removed

M&M is one of the only games I've ever purchased (multiple times), unfortunately I always manage to lose the disks :l

Back in 1999, when I was 10/11, Might & Magic VII box caught my eye while I was out with my parents late night shopping -- my progress and activity with the game was very erratic as I'd keep getting stuck (it was atleast 6 months before I even got off Emerald Isle) and would get frustrated and l...

[ MM7 ] Erathian Sewer Key

I'm not sure why it came to mind, but I remember it was always one thing that bugged me over the last decade of playing MM7; does this key actually have a purpose? (Found in the Strange Temple by killing some peasent with -alot- of hp IIRC)

[ Heroes III ] Multiplayer Allied Battles

Hi,

Is it possible to view your allies battles when playing HoMM3 multiplayer? Gets a bit boring when long battles take place

Found the patch, installed on both systems and -still- diden't work -- I was sure it would, as "TCP/IP issues" were mentioned twice within the patch version history.

Anyone else had this problem?

Hmm, unfortunately IPX isn't an option for WAN -- and I doubt a 1996 game would enable protocol tunneling. What confuses me is that there is absolutely no communication issue, so I feel there must be an actual problem with the game itself; are there any patches for the game? (I have version 1.0) &qu...
