/vr/ - Retro Games

There are two "eras" of M&M, each has a separate starting point.
For the old games, get 3, then World of Xeen (4&5)
For the new games, get 6, then 7 (which you'll love since it's the one most tied into HOMM3)
Ignore the rest, except 2 if you still need more.

World of Xeen because it's accessible and fun.

Is this the spirit of the same Corak as in MM5?

Heresy, I tell you.

what was the name of this NES game where you die by seeing a woman dressed in white that turn out to be a skeleton that rip you apart ? i completely forgot

>>437325
Uninvited

>>437383
thank you man

Thanks for the recommendations.

Just curious as to what the draw was for you guys back in the day. Did /vr/ see M&M as the pinnacle of WRPGs?

>M&M as the pinnacle of WRPGs
No, that would be Wizardry or Realms of Arkania. M&M is more like entry level versions of these games. Still rendered good by having a fuckhuge world to explore and lots of content.

>Realms of Arkania
I never played it past the character generation screen. There is a point at which a stat system can be too complex.

Oh, of course, and TONS of enemies. If you like fighting against impossible numbers of foes, then this is the series just for you. I recall there was a battle in M&M2 where you faced like 200 enemies at once, with a 6 man party of course. And there's of course this part (and several others) of M&M6.

>>437639
Then just play at novice mode with the pregenerated party silly casual

Are they just xp fodder or is it actually challenging?

I can't seem to get which games are strategy and which are party RPG games.
I played HOMM 3 armageddon's blade first, and when I got another game which was a RPG I was confused as fuck.

>>437656
IIRC it's supposed to be one of the hardest battles in an already difficult as fuck game (bar the endgame side-boss dragon, which is supposed to be impossible unless you absurdly powerlevel and utilize every single option at your disposal) and will rape an unprepared party in seconds.

What's the matter?
Scared?
No, not you Wiz 4 I know you ain't scared of nothing.

>>437726
Oh god what

I don't remember the game asking me that question when making the paladin

Also, I agree that game is damn good. Very easy to get into, as well.

>>437646
I remember when you get to the second zone where it's full of mages there are literally something like 50 and at high level it was funny as hell to just fly and meteor shower everything that moved into oblivion.
Funny thing about that image is that there are a fuckton of dwarves behind you too.

I've only played 6 and 7 but they were pure gold. The characters, the music, the enemies, the story... love those damn games
