Might and Magic 8 hits GOG
The PC classic Might and Magic 8: Day of the Destroyer is now available on Good Old Games for $5.99.
The PC classic Might and Magic 8: Day of the Destroyer is the newest addition to digital distributor Good Old Games. The first-person RPG borrows heavily from the engine used in Might and Magic 6, with a few tweaks. You can change your party throughout the game, and it brings back the card-based mini-game Acromage from Might and Magic 7: For Blood and Honor.
Both Might and Magic 8 and its predecessor are available for $5.99 each. Since the series is a continuing story, you might want to consider picking up Blood and Honor before taking on the sequel.

I bought the collection about a year ago with plans to work my way up through the whole series. I was having a blast with Might and Magic I (which is tough as nails in parts) but lost steam. I might just focus on 6 for a while instead. I don't know if I'll ever get through all those games. They take forever.

This reminds me of a trick I discovered on Wizardry for the Apple IIe. There was a certain point in the character creation process where you had to pull the disk out of the drive as it was about to write the character. You had to do it just at the right time.. but if you did it right you character was created with 9,999,999 experience and you could then level them up as much as you want. I've always been kind of against cheating so I only did this with two characters.. and I only leveled up a LITTLE bit more than I should have. Just enough so the game was still fun (and the game was already so stupid difficult that I didn't feel bad)
