With 3DO's Might and Magic Millennium Collection, role-playing fans get four complete versions of one of the best systems around. This special bundle pack includes The Mandate of Heaven (from Might and Magic VI), Blood and Honor (from Might and Magic VII), and two old-school DOS versions: Swords of Xeen and World of Xeen.

This package deal represents hundreds of hours of game play, in which you control the fortunes of a group of four adventurers as they complete quests, learn skills, and vanquish ever more powerful foes. Instead of enclosing four bulky manuals, 3DO includes them on the installation CDs, along with Adobe Acrobat Reader to access them. You also get quick reference guides, hints, and walk-throughs to print out with your manuals.

While Might and Magic purists will want to start the fun with Swords of Xeen and World of Xeen to achieve that special retro feeling (colorful DOS interface, pixilated images, plinky MIDI music), most gamers should dive straight into The Mandate of Heaven, then Blood and Honor. As in all good RPGs, you start out with next to nothing, and before you head off to tackle ultimate evil, you've got to equip, train, and season your warrior, archer, cleric, and sorcerer characters.

In both versions, character building is robust, with lots of choices for individualizing your group. In Mandate of Heaven, you're tackling ultimate evil in the form of the Temple of Baa, a doomsday cult from the void. In Blood and Honor, you have to investigate the appearance of strange sea monsters with legendary relics. The detail and potential of your adventures in these games (even the DOS versions!) is awesome, and you may find yourself lost in the worlds of Might and Magic well into the next millennium. --Therese Littleton

4.0 out of 5 stars You can play with windows xp, February 5, 2005

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Might and Magic: Millennium Edition (CD-ROM)

I bought this game orginally when I had a Windows 98 computer. Last year I decided to pull it out and play it again, only this time I had a Windows XP computer. At first it would install 6 and 7 but I could not play them. I figured it had something to do with compatibilty, so after playing around a bit I changed (in the program folder) all the .exe files to run in compatilbilty mode for windows 98. IT WORKS GREAT! Side note: Last week I was playing around with MM8 and discovered that you have to start this from the cd and in compatibilty mode to work properly. If you have questions you can always let me know and I can try to help a fellow gamer out. [...]

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific bargain, June 21, 2000

By 

Scott T Jones (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Might and Magic: Millennium Edition (CD-ROM)

These are four of my favorite games, which I sadly purchased at full price as each one was released. Part of the attraction of these games is the simplicity of the interface. In all four games, you control a group of characters with a single first-person view. It sounds too simple, but it really works. I have played all four games twice.

The first two games, Might and Magic IV and V, can be combined into one huge game, The World of Xeen. Not only was Might and Magic VI just as large as the World of Xeen, but it introduced their new game engine with greatly improved graphics. MM4 and MM5 were turn-based only, while MM6 and MM7 are realtime with the option to switch to turn-based at any time. These games are highly addictive. You will always want to play just a little bit longer. With all four games priced below the cost of even one of them when they were new, this is a terrific bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love This, July 9, 2000

By 

Blaine (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Might and Magic: Millennium Edition (CD-ROM)

I bought this as soon as I saw it. Its worth your money even if you own one or more of the games in this product because you'll probably spend more buying them separately.

I love Might and Magic IV and V that have fun gameply and even cooler introduction video.
