Could someone please tell me games that are like the Might and Magic series. They also need to be able to run on Vista or have some way to work. I don't mean RPGs like Oblivion or Heroes of Might and Magic. If there isn't really anything like it. Give me the closest thing you can, that seems similar to the format of the image please. I like the team format. Thanks

You can probably get Wizardry 8 to run in Vista. You'll have people in this thread telling you to get Etrian Odyssey for the DS. Ignore them.

How about The Bard's Tale? The game is old so the graphics and sound are kind of bad, but if you play on the Amiga it might not be too painful.

I guess I'll have to be a bit more specific. Unfortunately I don't have an Amiga and Bard's tale probably wouldn't be easy to find. I can play games on PC (vista), Wii, SNES, NES, Genesis, and DS or possibly some emulator.

Bard's Tale is abandonware and I imagine will run in DosBox.

For almost all of these games you will have to run DOSBox. Learn it, use it, live it. Most of them didn't even work in XP. Ancients 1: Deathwatch Ancients 2: Approaching Evil Bard's Tale Bard's Tale 2: The Destiny Knight Bard's Tale 3: Thief of Fate Amulets & Armor Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos Eye of the Beholder Eye of the Beholder 2 Dungeon Hack Ok, so I haven't played most of these. Ancients 1 & 2 are much like Might and Magic and are fun if you like this sort of game. Dungeon Hack is fantastic, very well put together, lots of equipment types. It tries to be more action-y, though, don't know if you'll like that. But it is great. This is the best first person RPG in the world, though: Shining in the Darkness It oozes style and is very straightforward and fun. You can get it for Genesis or on the Wii Virtual Console (easiest and cheapest way). Well worth it.

That dwarf alone makes me want to try it.

That dwarf alone makes me want to try it. Yeah, it's put together well and really blew me away at the time. Actual cartoon art, during the time of tiny Sonic sprites and such.

Wizardry 8 is very expensive on the used market, just an FYI. But when I first tried it, that's what made me think back 10 years ago to the old Might and Magic games. I loved those things until I discovered Fallout, Baldur's Gate, and Diablo.

Might and Magic was my first ever RPG. I used to love making characters drunk. I think I still have the Completion Certificate! Man I wish my 360 printed one of those out when I got 1000/1000 points.

I just checked the uk Amazon and they have it at 4£ used and 7£ new. I wouldn't have recommended it if I thought it was impossible to find/pay for.

Sporky you are very wrong. The best first person team RPG is a game in the Might and Magic series. Might and Magic IV and V: World of Xeen.

Hope the OP lives out of the US then, where it's $40-60 at the usual places like Half and Amazon. Thirty is about my limit for an oldgame.

Wizardry 8 is an awesome game, get it. (Wizardry 7 was pretty fun to till I got to the part with the fucking invisible wall maze)

I thought about playing Wizardry 7, but I heard it was extremely long and it's the end of a trilogy, so I'll put that on the really far back burner.

Is Pool of Radiance abandonware? Is there a patched version of the remake worth playing? edit: Is there a PoR module for NWN or NWN2? That's one of the best RPG's ever.

Sporky you are very wrong. The best first person team RPG is a game in the Might and Magic series. Might and Magic IV and V: World of Xeen. whenever I get a new game in a series I always install the previous games just in case there is an easter egg that looks for the old games and unlocks something new. I do this because of Xeen.

Is Pool of Radiance abandonware? Is there a patched version of the remake worth playing? edit: Is there a PoR module for NWN or NWN2? That's one of the best RPG's ever. It's up to you to decide. I went ahead and added it to the backlog because I haven't played a corridor RPG like that in 15 years, and probably never finished one. I plan to just do a tour with a walkthrough and GIF maps, no map-making nonsense or anything. Gave that up a long time ago after Kings Quest V.

Might ang Magic - gates to another world (genesis) Phantasy Star 2 (genesis) Betrayal at Krondor (dosbox/pc) Betrayal in Antara (dosbox/pc)

My god did I ever love the hell out of games like this. A love like no other, I held them tight and whispered to them and asked them to marry me ... And they said yes. Every game UncleSporky listed that I've played rocked. The ones I have not played? I now want to play them after seeing those screenshots!

Pool of Radiance was awesome, and at the time was probably the biggest damn game I had ever seen. The only thing that stood in the way of absolute greatness was that the battles took so damn long. At first the tactical style battles were AWESOME, but after a while they became a chore. Never did finish that game.

Might and Magic was my first ever RPG. I used to love making characters drunk. I think I still have the Completion Certificate! Man I wish my 360 printed one of those out when I got 1000/1000 points. I wish I still had mine. This was one of the first RPGs I ever actually finished on my C64.

I guess I'll have to be a bit more specific. Unfortunately I don't have an Amiga and Bard's tale probably wouldn't be easy to find. I can play games on PC (vista), Wii, SNES, NES, Genesis, and DS or possibly some emulator. I'd highly recommend not tossing around the "E" word in these forums...

You can get it for Genesis or on the Wii Virtual Console (easiest and cheapest way). Well worth it. Coming off games like the Phantasy Star series and being a big fan of overworld exploration, I realy didn't think I'd like a "mere" dungeon crawl ... but I'll be damned if I didn't really, really like this game. Fun dungeon to explore, lots of style, just enough depth to feel like it had meat yet just light enough to make it easy to play. Great stuff.
