Might and Magic fans in the house?

[MarioRPG]

We did hotseat because we only had one computer.

As for online play: Yeah you have to wait around, but turns are timed (1min maybe?) and you can still access your castle and build something (I believe, it's been a long time since I've played online).

Also, fuck you guys, I booted up HOMM3 last night.

You can implement a timer or just sit around and wait.

We're lazy so we would just hook up two mice and sit next to each. sometimes a 3rd will LAN a laptop.

That's what I thought.

What's your favorite regular Might & magic game? 7 seems to be the most polished and complete but 6 and 8 are OK as well.

Not many people like 9 but I didn't mind it too much. I cut them a little slack because I knew that 3DO was going down the tubes when they were developing it.

Weren't the AD&D 3D0 (as in the 3D0/Panasonic system) games like AD&D: Slayer supposed to be Might & Magic games, but then they obtained the AD&D license? I read that somewhere and I dunno if it's true, but those games rock no matter what.

No idea,

I wouldn't doubt though. It wouldn't be too difficult to change a Might & Magic to D&D or vice versa.

Truthfully I've never played any of the regular Might & magic games. I found a website that had the stories for them and just read them. I seem to think the regular might and magic game that ends with you blasting off in a rocket ship is directly followed by Heroes of Might and Magic I or III. Leaning toward III. Then the following Might and Magic game loops the plot back together. It seemed interesting between the different series how they're connected....I just never had the time or will to play them.

I was unaware the rocket in III connected to the Heroes series, I always assumed it was just to lead into M&M4 (which I've never played because it wasn't on SNES).

You should defintely check out M&M 6 or 7. You can either download them off the web or find the discs used somewhere. Bewarned though, the graphics engine is from the stone age so if you ever play it don't allow the ugliness to turn you away.
