Replay – Might And Magic III: Isles Of Terra

Nobody really knew what was in store for them when Adam dragged us all down into the Replay recording room. The glittery nostalgic gleam in his eyes cued us in that we were going to play some game he adored as a kid, but none of us had ever played Might and Magic III. After trusting Adam as our guide and plunging into the moose rat-infested pits of Fountain Head, we emerge with a new, err... appreciation of the classic PC RPG.

Join Jeff Cork, Adam Biessener, your host Jason Oestreicher, and myself as we return to the mystical land of Terra in 1991's Might and Magic III. Stick around for the second segment in which we play a game that confuses the hell out of us. Surprise!

Awesome episode =)

I never played this one, but it reminds me a lot of Eye of the Beholder from the D&D series of games.

this episode was, unusually entertaining

Is this Mr. Biessener's first Replay? I think it is. Welcome to the hot and sweaty Replay room, sir!

Might and Magic III looks archaic and pretty incomprehensible. I'm sure it was good for its day, but it hasn't aged well.

I vaguely remember playing Tobal No. 1 and not being too impressed. I did wonder what happened to the sequel, and, well, now I know.

Edit: Apparently, Mr. Biessener was in some other Replays. Oh well, I'm still leaving that first bit in to prove to the world what an idiot I am.

Loved this replay. Actually laughed out loud over the black skull in the wall.

I love games like this. Which reminds me...Legend of Grimrock comes out tomorrow!

A Replay on a Tuesday? AWESOME!!! =)

Might and Magic looks like something I would've really enjoyed when I was younger if I would've had the patience to figure it out.

The second game reminded me of Tekken.

Good stuff GI.

tobal just looked sweet i wish it was here :(
by VinsanityV22 Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 07:44 PM

Come for the Might and....actually, screw that noize. TOBAL!!!!!

Seriously, screw all first person dungeon crawlers. So unfun. But it's always fun to watch these guys play through games.
by matt21 Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 08:34 PM

It was cool to see that game. I've never seen one of the old ones.

What's up with the random Replays popping up mid-week? Not complaining, just asking. :)
by Kurry Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 09:14 PM

Oh yes...OH YES!
by Sonintega Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 09:31 PM

So, when's the Super Replay kicking off? There was an awful lot of fanfare for it, after all.
by Alphonsus Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 09:42 PM

So this is where Elder Scrolls was inspired from...Nice!
by osirishawk Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 09:51 PM

great replay guys, i love the might and magic series, and whooo! for akira toriyama!
by Colton Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 09:52 PM

It might have been fun back in the day.... but now it's a snoozefest.

But it's midweek and you won't hear me complaining!!! Thanks for a new episode!
by Syz 9000 Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 10:35 PM

Adam is hilarious, more PCreplays!

I loved the character portraits, and having to train to level up. That's some old school D&D rules too.
by StraySkyNight Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at 11:28 PM

Dungeon Master was the only dungeon crawler I ever completed but I played a few of them back in the day. I've kind of been wanting to play one again so I might end up playing Legend of Grimrock later.
