And I think that maybe not many people know about MM in the wider world, but I suspect that quite a few of the same people who love WoW are exactly the kind of people who would have loved the MM games.

Ha-hah! Even found a linky fer it (was remarkably easy ) http://www.dosbox.com/

I played MMVII way back in the day, but must confess to nae much enjoying it, so never took it that far. Granted though, I tried it well and truly after it’s hey-day, so that may have coloured things against it a little.

In any event, fantastic read.

I’m really surprised at how many people are familiar with the MM series. Usually whenever I mention it, no one knows what I’m talking about. MMII seems to be easily downloadable, I’ll have to check it out.

I remember running through corridors and having tons of fun with the game’s combat and inventory systems. When I played it, there was nothing else like it!

Oh, and don’t worry too much about the older games losing their spark. I’ve gone back to the old games and still enjoyed them. Only rarely have I found them to be disappointing. My father, brother, and I still play Super Techmo Bowl to this day! We still talk trash using the same 8 plays over and over, but it’s still fun.
