Thanks, Wyvern.

Actually, I don't have a machine that will play MMIII. But I have the Ultimate MM Archives, which includes some software (SloMo, or something like that) which lets you play. It slows my system down to around 9% of its capacity (or so it tells me...)

And I did play MM1. Secret of the Inner Sanctum was my first CPRG, and I spent hours mapping it out (in color, no less!) and tracking everything on every single square. I still remember my heart racing at "Dragon Town Meeting. Disrupt? (y/n)", and the joy when I got a friend's wife to watch the correct Star Trek episode to give me the answer to Og's riddle. *sniff*

Played it on an Apple ][e back then, in green and white. The graphics were outstanding... *smirk*.

Tried playing it again a year or so ago (when I got the Archives). It was every bit as challenging as I remembered, and I can't find where I put my notes. That's the problem with storing a few sheets of paper for 15+ years...

Although I've got to say that MMIII has been too easy... there's a fountain +20 levels near the opening town, with a hit point and spell point pool close by. If I time it right, my 10th level wizard is walking around with 400+ hitpoints

.

And thanks for the kind thoughts on my posts. I try to help, without being too obnoxious. Most times, I hope I hit it right.
