|
 |
First thing I've been tempted to buy from gog just to have it. I probably spent as many hours on these as I did on the gold box AD&D games. For me, $7 is a steal for this. Well, assuming it even runs on a modern system.

Played the hell out of these over the summer (I'm 23 and had never played any of these when they were around). I pretty much just played 6, couldnt stomach the earlier ones. 6 was very fun, very combat oriented, and could be very difficult at times... but addictive as hell.

They work, but can need some additional tuning to function properly on post-XP systems, read guides and such online about how to set them up.
(Don't use 3D acceleration and the like, was a while since I played them so don't fully remember, earlier ones pre-MM6 will likely use DosBox.)

They all worked flawlessly on my Win7 x64 machine (3 core AMD)

Ah good to know, I had to replace the exe of the later M&M titles with adjusted ones to fix bugs on newer OS systems and 3D acceleration had to be disabled for them, although that might have been only for the seventh and eight games which aren't included in this compilation.
(They're not bad but were considered dated and crude when they were released, M&M 9 had a similar fate but was also heavily rushed.)

Yeah, by 1998 (release date of MM6) 3d gaming had taken the industry over for the most part

and yet Phantasmagoria 1 and Gorky17 does not work correctly
see my topic on the bitching section about how they sell old abadonware anew to make a quick buck with scene cracks |

The thing is that sometimes as Hfric mentions they use community fixes and solutions much like Dosbox (Now with their permission.) and the like to make the games compatible as the source code and extensive knowledge and time it would take to re-make the game to be more compatible often isn't possible. (I don't think it's ever been done, Arx Fatalis uses the semi unofficial 1.19f patch which is the closest to the above as far as I'm aware.)

gog games work and are compatibile? Bullshit. When game required dos back in 1995, they release it with dosbox installer and shortcut so that You need 3ghz for smooth framerates on old games

3+4+5 was the pinnacle of the series imo. I never could get into the latter games.
