Subject: Might and Magic Tribute

There is a Might and Magic ultimate pack that was released a few years
ago.. it contained M&M 1-5, which obviously includes the World of Xeen
(4-5 mix) ... it also contains an extra called "Swords of Xeen". No
clue on what that really is. I've tried playing them but haven't
really gotten into them just yet. BUT I mention it because someone
asked about the hint books. The CD does include .pdf files of all the
manuals and hint books for MM1-5. If you buy it, the package also
comes with paper fold-up maps for all the games.

It really was a nicely developed "shovelware" .... they actually did
pay attention to compatibility issues by including MOSLO and setting
up .pif files so that you wouldn't need to tinker with batch files
yourself, and the .pdf files are the highest quality.

I can't see it on ebay, in part because I don't remember the exact
name of the package... and I doubt you can buy any more since 3DO went
bankrupt, but if anyone would like more info, post to the list.. I do
have a copy at home (not for sale!) but since 3DO is gone and to the
best of my knowledge this is now "orphanware" I would not feel too
badly about assisting anyone in getting a copy. If anyone knows of a
legitimate copyright holder tho then I must rescind that offer (please
post to the list).

Also does anyone know what Swords of Xeen is? I kind of got the
impression it was a new game developed in the MM4/5 engine, but like I
said.. have not really gotten into it, definately not the expert.
