Topic: Might and Magic 3-5 (PC)

[Maxim]

That sort of renaming's easy to do in Irfanview, else there's more advanced renamers out there that can do things like CamelCasing,

[Paco]

have a Question:

Should i bundle it toghether as "Might and Magic 4+5 - World of Xeen" or should they be seperate as "Might and Magic 4 - Clouds of Xeen" and "Might and Magic 5 - Darkside of Xeen" ?

MM4 is more or less complete. Only a few Dungeon left for which Keys are hidden in MM5.

If the games were ever available separately, then they should be separate.

I only put episodes together if they're originally shareware (you know, like those Apogee games - gosh, no one does shareware anymore thanks to, you know, downloads), because the first "episode" is essentially a demo for the rest of the game, which is usually referred to as a whole.  In those cases I see episodes as separate "stages" or "worlds" and not as separate "games".

roger that. 

done mapping. now i start Phase 2. That mean adding info, stamping, throwing in PNGGaunlet, etc...

I would say about 120 Maps for MM4 and 160 Maps for MM5.

*faint and died*


i need a Break before i move on to FF2 (NES)

I got Might And Magic: Clouds Of Xeen up this weekend, but unfortunately Darkside Of Xeen is going to have to wait until the next update.

How come Clouds of Xeen is placed before Isles of Terra? Surely it comes after Isles of Terra being the fourth game and Isles of Terra, the third.

I think its because of the Names. C is before I after all.


@Jon np. its abit much to do it on a single WE.

[JonLeung]

If it's a concern, I can move it after Isles Of Terra.

Rule of thumb I go by is the in-game title trumps the box title if they're different.  There is no "IV" in the in-game title.  But I can see that there's little point in having it appear before so I'll move it to after Isles Of Terra at the next update if I remember.
