Amazon.com Product Description
The Ultimate Might and Magic Archives brings together the first five games of the award-winning Might and Magic series--from Secret of the Inner Sanctum to Darkside of Xeen (also includes Swords of Xeen and World of Xeen). This is a definite must-have for RPG veterans and novices alike. Might and Magic: Secret of the Inner Sanctum. Find the secret of the Inner Sanctum. Cross oceans, climb mountains, search castles and dungeons, all in 3-D color perspective. Use 94 different spells and over 250 magic items to deal with over 200 monsters of various descriptions and personality profiles. Might and Magic 2: Gates to Another World. Embark on a glorious journey, then save the world of CRON and yourself. Hundreds of quests matched to your personal proficiency will test your ingenuity, and over 250 animated monsters will contest your might in an advanced combat system; 96 spells, more than 250 weapons and items, two new character classes, hirelings, and 15 secondary skills will aid your cause. Might and Magic 3: Isles of Terra. Terra awaits you. Prepare to be charmed by its magic and tested by its mighty power. Lead a party of adventurers to rendezvous with the legendary wizard, Corak. From dark moldy dungeons, through corridors of hewn stone and timber, and onward to the lofty frozen peaks of Terra, you will uncover the mysteries that surround the exotic islands in the Great Sea. Bizarre and intriguing creatures will challenge you along the way and in the many towns and castles that dot your path. Might and Magic 4: Clouds of Xeen. Explore the Land of Xeen--a world that has fallen under the iron grip of a diabolical overlord. Create a party of adventurers and journey to the four corners of your imagination as you strive to complete your mission. Take on fantastic quests, fearsome monsters, and challenges beyond compare. When you are ready, journey to the cloud world and face the ultimate foe: Lord Xeen himself. Might and Magic 5: Darkside of Xeen. The Tyrant Alamar appeared shortly after the Night of the Falling Stars and deposed Queen Kalindra, ruler of the humans. Alamar's army has besieged the Dragon Pharaoh's pyramid, and rebel monsters are ravaging the countryside and destroying the travel pyramids. Humans and their ilk have been confined to the slums of Castleview. And now fate has elected you and your friends to carry a message of vital importance to one of the few people who can still make a difference. Might and Magic: Swords of Xeen. Nothing is known about Havec, the world on the other side of a newly discovered magical pyramid, except that the evil Lord Xeen, who nearly destroyed two worlds, regularly traveled through the pyramid for unknown purposes. Travel from the small city of Greyhaven in the world of Xeen to Havec in this game that reprises the popular game system of World of Xeen in a new and challenging adventure. Install both Clouds of Xeen and Darkside of Xeen on your hard drive to create the World of Xeen. Journey back and forth and solve the multiple crossover quests to experience a special third end game.

Be prepared to fight to the last man because the road to glory is paved with the bones of those who came before you... and no one will cry when you are gone.
Excellent Compilation
The Ultimate Might and Magic Archives is an excellent choice for both Might and Magic fans and RPG fans alike. This product is particularly excellent because it includes the earliest Might and Magic games, which are otherwise very hard to find. Plus for it's price and all the hours of entertainment you can get out of it, it's just overall worth your time.
GREAT VINTAGE RPG. PLEASE SEE MY CUSTOMER IMAGE & NOTES.
This is still and excellent series. Any one looking for a good storyline over graphics should make a point to add this to their RPG collection. Unfortunately, it's getting harder and harder to find under this "exact" title. However, there is hope and usually a CHEAPER PRICE to look forward to. When they released Might and Magic 6, they also offered a limited edition. It is called MIGHT AND MAGIC VI: THE MANDATE OF HEAVEN ( Special or Limited Edition ). It not only offers the newest full version of Might and Magic 6, but it ALSO INCLUDES the FULL VERSIONS
of M & M 1 - 5 ( or Might and Magic I, II, III, IV, V ). And, since it is not as RARE, it can usually be purchased at a much lower cost. [...]
WHY BUY THE ARCHIVES WHEN YOU CAN GET THE SAME GAMES CHEAPER!
This Archives is a great game collection. But it only includes the first five games. I prefer Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven Special Edition. It offers the first five games as a bonus, AND includes the full version of six too. The kicker is, it's usally found MUCH CHEAPER elsewhere on AMAZON.COM

The Vault of Darkness features an exciting collection of five great games to die for! Titles include American McGee's Alice, Clive Barker's Undying, Dracula Resurrection, Dracula: The Last Sanctuary, and Dungeon Keeper 2.
American McGee's Alice
Into a Dark Dream You Drop--Return as Alice to a wickedly deformed Wonderland. Confront the cruel Queen of Hearts and the revolting toadies who enforce her evil will. They’re all mad! A fierce and nasty fight for sanity and control turns into a lethal struggle for survival. Off with their heads... before they get yours.
Clive Barker's Undying
Their Family Secrets Will Scar You for Life--As children, Jeremiah Covenant and his four siblings had read aloud a dark ritual, little knowing their childish game would unleash an unimaginable horror.

vault of darkness
this is a excelant game package. i just love the games exspecialy undiying and i really love dungeon keeper 2 so much that i have wore them out playing them.dungeon keeper has hidden levals and one leval that you can only open on a full moon(im not joking).there is also levals that you can become the charecter. so i would highly recomand these games.this is the kind of game that never gets old.
Immersive, intelligent and sexy
This is probably the best single player RPG I've ever played.
First the game play: You are a witcher, a human fighter/mage that has been trained and mutated for the specific purpose of fighting monsters. An opposing mage attacks your castle in the prelude/tutorial and your main mission is to find him and kill him. To achieve this you will travel around the game world and complete a variety of tasks. Some essential to the game play, some optional, some simply opportunities for the witcher to earn money by carrying out his trade: Killing monsters.
There are major differenced with other games, even those using the same bioware engine. There are no choices as far as class, race or alignment. You are a witcher, period. As far as the alignment, as the game box states:
There is no good or evil, only choices.
Many of the choices will have consequences further on in the game that may force you to follow one course or the other. This leads to great replay value. You may try different alternatives or different quests in the next game.
There is a great web forum that is very helpful available in both Polish and English.
About the censorship issue; it's no big deal. There are two versions available, and both can be purchased through Amazon. The North American version has the (little, tasteful) nudity taken out, the European version available through the third party sellers is uncensored. The differences are so minor as to be trivial however if you have the North American version, there is an unofficial "patch" available through the forum that turns it into the uncensored one. Probably not worth the effort.
The graphics are really good, and the game itself is immersive. Plays like a movie.
In the expanded edition there is also a game editor, but I have not tried it.
Can't wait for the sequel.
GAMING AS IT SHOULD BE!
Were I a member of the gaming Industry right now, I would be shamed to be taught what gaming should look and feel like and how it should be marketed by a small Eastern European company. Who of the multi-billion gaming "giants" ever went back to improve a released game? Yet, there you have it: thanks to CDPROJECT gaming as an art-form is still alive and kicking!
This was the most awaited fantasy cRPG in the past 3 years. Not only did the original deliver, but even more work has gone into truly improving it.
THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL cRPG GAMES I HAD EVER PLAYED - AND NOW IT IS GORGEOUS!
The environments are detailed, realistic, and can be experienced from up close. Grass, flowers and tree branches moved in both FABLE and TITAN QUEST as well; these, however, seem so true I caught myself reaching for my...antihistamines! Weather affects and day-night alterations (you have to see the elongating shadows to believe them!) are just gorgeous! More importantly, these are not just eye-candy: certain NPCs and monsters appear only when the correct combination of time-of-day and weather coincide...The horizon is far and the clouds move in endless variations. It reminded me of the sky of the original UNREAL, another visually ground-breaking game at its time. PURE VISUAL MAGIC!
The character (Geralt) can master both sword-fighting and magic spells (what is known as a Warlock). To some die-hard RPG fans this may seem like heresy, nevertheless, keep in mind that multi-classing is not unheard off. The movement repertoire for both practices are impressively designed. Especially the sword-fighting, it is at par to any console action game. And the spells (both offensive and defensive ones) are not less impressive.
Free roaming? Yes and no. One can decide which parts of the map he will visit but loading is still needed to travel even annoyingly short distances. And since quests and side-quest still have to be completed, yes, eventually a subtle, yet ever present, directionality is present.
Looting and bartering? Aaah...yes, sort of. You practically never change the sword you start off with (although you do get to improve its abilities), whereas good armor is only a little easier to come by compared to PLANESCAPE. On the upside, you get to gamble, have romantic relationships (FABLE was full of great ideas after all!) and bribe for information, so trinkets have other uses as well.
Detailed character modifiers? Nothing like the AD&D rules. You gain talents (gold, silver & bronze) which you can spend to improve your fighting or magical abilities. Pretty much like the DIABLO or the TITAN QUEST abilities systems.
So, apart for the slight action-cRPG handicap, I have only two other objections. First, the...camera placement. Once more the atrocious Aurora Engine (remember NWN2...?) will keep auto-placing it where it is bound to get on your nerves - as it targets your character even if that is not the most logical option. Yes, this has indeed improved compared to the original but one cannot teach an old dog new tricks.
Second, the controls. They need getting used to as the fighting combos are still easily ruined by clicking out of sync. You do eventually get the hold of it, however it keeps glitching.
Nevertheless, its shortcomings are not enough to diminish the breath of fresh air this release brings to the scene. The Enhanced edition not only is a truly reworked game but it also comes full with detailed Manuals, beautiful Maps and all the extras that games used to come with in the good old days...
Whereas the BALDUR's GATES saga was story-heavy but (by today standards) visually wanting and the NEVERWINTER NIGHTS series was found, well, wanting in all aspects, THE WITCHER is the dream cRPG that BIOWARE was supposed to be capable of releasing all along but never did - and its current EA bedfellows surely put a stop to such aspirations now. That game, however, is finally here - and not from whom you would expect.
A tip of my hat to CDPROJECT for keeping the ART-FORM of Gaming alive. Well done indeed!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Good Stuff!
Out the gate, I really enjoyed this PC game. At its roots, it is a high voltage hack & slash with familiar (but new) inventory, potion creation and spell progression. The fighting part of the game is a cut above your average hack & slash - you must use timing, weapon and style selection to finesse your way through. The spell trees and potions are also a step above the usual. I liked the way game elements complemented each other. For instance: slaughter some big ugly, use their guts to make a potion which then gives you unique spell casting abilities. Story line is real good (uncensored - meh) and there are two unique paths to take with different quests being available through the two branches.
