I’m not usually into role playing games, but having enjoyed Bard’s Tale III on my C64 many years before, I gave this one a shot and loved it – just like its sequels (Clouds of Xeen and Darkside of Xeen, together making up a whole new game called World of Xeen). I remember getting “Isles of Terra” free with a computer magazine in the nineties. The Might and Magic 6-pack is such an example, available for only $9.99 (a total bargain, considering it’s 7 games).
Many games run on Windows, Mac and even Linux – but some are only available for single platforms, mostly Windows. Games that used to run well on DOS and other long forgotten platforms are getting a new lease on life by being packaged up to run on today’s technology. I’ve recently discovered GOG.com, the service that provides “good old games” from yesteryear to retro connoisseurs like myself.
