Might & Magic III

Unless you are collecting, it's not worth getting the Turbob one

Just grab the DOS one. 

You'll thank yourself later when you enjoy the better interface

phiffttt!!!!  What say you!!!???

I honestly cant believe anyone would pay the asking price for Might and Magic III on Duo, but to each their own. Some people just few it as a investment that will rise in value, or because they want a complete set of North American releases. But as a game itself, riding on its own gameplay merits, you're not going to get $100+ of fun out of it. There is a lot better titles on the system you can nab for a lot cheaper. In no way is its high asking price due to it being some A++ title. Its more like a C+ to B- one on Duo. It would be like if TV Sports Basketball only had maybe 300 copies made and came out near the systems end of life here. No one would want to play it, but people would pay $200 for it regardless cuz its omfg rarez. Rare garbage is still garbage, and rare average games are still just average.

Even back when M&MIII was already "at" these prices, I bought and sold a few copies pretty cheap. I just kept getting rid of it eventually as I found each time that I wasn't ready to invest the required time to learn to play the game, when it's easier for me to jump into so many Japanese RPGs that I have yet to play through. In the end I just bought the Turbo version disc-only and keep it in the other slot of my Japanese version. So it has infinitely superior packaging now, while still every bit as playable.

The game was designed for a mouse and programmed originally for awesome high color bitmap jive.   It looks alright on the PCE, but the DOS one is going to deliver the best experience, and you won't pay no 150$ for it.

Heck, you can get those archive ones for < 100$ even, and get more games.

Or you could just download the abandonware dos version. I'm not advocating doing this though, just saying.

  Guess I am one of the guys that just really enjoy this game.  I have to admit though, it has a lot to do with sentimental value.  It's one of those games, along with Beyond Shadowgate that I bought from TZD back in like 1995 or 1996.

Hmm, looks like the Turbo version is closest to the PC, other than the color palette. However, I kind of like the way the colors look. The Sega CD one scares me. Those clouds look horrid! What the Hell?

Its 64 colors of sexiness, isn't it great? Seriously though, why are we resurrecting a 7 year topic?

[Bernie]

Cuz we want to.

How many hours does it take to complete this game, given a decent amount of suckage on the part of the player?

Hours? We measure in lifetimes.

It will take 8-10 lifetimes to complete M&M III on Turbo.

[Bernie]

To play it and do all side quests, ect.. you are looking at well over 50-60 hours or more.  Then again im the guy that plays the game till the game hates me.  I've got well over 200 hours in Final Fantasy X. 

[ProfessorProfessorson]

Lol, yeah I can be the same way depending on the game. I've clocked in maybe 180 hrs in on COD:World at War. Prior to that I put in about the same between RTCW and Wolfenstein ET.  All the little online matches add up. And theres all those old games like SF2 , Primal Rage, Mk3, or Need for Speed 1, where over the years I have put so many hrs in I'd never be able to keep count.

The Amiga one is closer, lol.


The Turbo one looks and sounds very good, but the game really operates best on fancy ass computers
