M & M they are all here!

I started out playing M&M VI 10 years ago (Wow- it has really been that long??) and have been addicted ever since.

This product has 6(VI) through 9(IX) versions with CD's and maps, but no manuals. I figured that may be the case when I ordered them as I got them new from a marketplace seller at a very good price. At least my brother will be glad there will be no more borrowing of his games/CD's!
I gather that the manuals are on the CD's, and there are always webrings and sites other players have that are helpful if I get stuck or need to know something.

Even though the first 3 of these games (VI through VIII) gave me addicting hours of game play (and YEARS of addicting replay ; ) I gave 4 stars because I am wondering what in the world they did to IX or 9??
It seems like it was thrown together to just get something out there.

As with all other games they had to try some new thing or interface that to me, messed things up. I am not very far into the game but got so frustrated when I got to the (M-wherever) islands that I turned it off. I will try again as a devoted M & M player, but so far it is horrible. It sort of reminds me of Myst where you wander around by yourself with no one else around.
The ally characters you meet (in IX) are just standing there-not moving or animated (except for the dumb enemies that attack)--that I have seen so far. I don't like the new character inventory either. Maybe it will hold more items than the old. Maybe I just need to take some time to get used to the "new"?
We shall see.

For sure though I will be going back to my saved VIII game that I am almost finished with as it is much more exciting.
If they make any more M & M's they need to go back to what WAS doing well before IX!

This is a great product if you are familiar with the might and magic series at all. You can spend hours playing and not get board. Lots of quests and skills to perfect. I have not played might and magic 7 through 9 yet, but Might and Magic 6 has been pretty good, however you do need to find and download a patch for this game or you are likely to not get any music working with it.

i remember how great these games were, so i bought the millenium edition, not worrying about the XP problem, since several people posted solutions right here. Too bad none of them are working for me so far. I can get the Install screen to come up, but clicking on 'Install' simply closes the window and nothing happens. Not even a freakin error message.
THANKS 3DO!

Sole_fish... you are the one misinforming people, the game won't run on my Win XP Media Center Edition SP2 and I have searched many websites for ways to get around the problem. My laptop is NEW and has no problems so don't assume because it works on your computer that it works on all computers... that's just flawed logic. I want to add that this game has no active support so keep that in mind when purchasing it. I'm going to search fan sites for some info on how to patch/update the game so it will run on my system. Good luck if you do decide to make the purchase.

The 3do mystery

You know, I was about to purchase this compilation tonight, just for the simple fact that I can't get the games that I have ALREADY BOUGHT to work on my winXP setup. Then I decided not to.. Because I already own ALL 4 of these games, and 3do has dissappeared off the face of the planet.. Why should I give MORE of my money to a company that won't even support the games it already has.. How do I know that a year from now windows won't upgrade to WIN 2006 and the games won't work again.. I've had it with 3do, that is no way to run a company.. You can't just disappear, yet still produce new games.. Grrrr..

defrective product

Misleading representation. I was unable to install a single one of the 4 games in this package on my ne Hewlett-Packard Model 793 xp computer. Amazon doesn't take software back. 3Do can't accept return because I bought game from Amazon.com. Best buy's techs never heard of game and sent me back to 3 DO. I bought my pc specifically to play M&M games I don't care for the more enhanced graphic rpg's with their funny looking little dummies for inventory. I feel cheated. I enjoyed M & M 6 and 7 on my win 98 machine and was looking forward to playing on new xp. Shame on Microsoft, Amazon ,Hp and 3Do.

The solution to make it work.. ( i need some help on the side)
