Might & Magic series

You're probably right in that the games were overshadowed by bigger names like Ultima, but I don't think it was ever too far behind. I love the series, and I've probably played each game at least four times. In fact, I just installed MM6-8 recently and went on a marathon. Great, great stuff. Still, in the end, I got mostly hooked on Arcomage in my later runs.

I planned on going through and beating the earlier ones again, but I'm not sure if I can handle how old school they are now (yeah, I've softened). I can play MM3 on with no problem, probably. Actually can't find a "copy" of MM3 anywhere that isn't in French, which saddens me.

Mm, did anyone ever end up beating the Mega Dragon in MM2? I heard it was possible.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I actually don't remember much about Might and Magic 2 now, but I remember the Cuisinart enemies, which did incredible damage but gave a couple million experience when you killed them. I found some area where they're encoutered and used that to train a lot. There's probably a better area to actually train in that doesn't involved getting hacked to pieces, but hey, I was a kid.

And I hear the MegaDragon has something ludicrous like 64000 HP. He probably could be killed, but I doubt it's worthwhile.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, there's a scroll of Flight somewhere in the first town, so you can reach that teleport. Then you basically run like crazy to the shrine for +20 to all stats (something like that) and possibly to the NWC center. I never actually went there, so I don't know what's inside.

The corpse looting thing was never fixed throughout 6-8, either, and it's pretty sweet if you can kill the dragon in MM7 on the first island. Hooray, early artifacts.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The dungeons for most of the Crystal quests in MM6 were really annoying (as was Gharik's forge. Augh). Mostly involved me pussing out and making Lloyd's Beacons every couple steps. The one with the eyes is pretty damn bad because they kill your buffs.

That sounds like a pretty crazy bug. I had the Mac version as a kid, and sometimes if you were rolling a character and decided to switch stats (like, exchanging strength and personality), you'd get 255 eventually. It might've been a trick my brothers put on me, but my 255 strength knight didn't complain.

I don't remember, what kind of offense did the Mega Dragon have? Because even using mass distortion, that would take 6 turns. I'm guessing that he just eradicates you from what you guys have been saying.

I replayed MM3 recently. I got an Obsidian weapon early, and I've been wiping the floor with most things as a result. Good times.

I was speaking idiomatically.
