I love the Might & Magic games.



I love the Wizardry games.



I've tried the Baldur's Gate clones, Morrowind, etc., and don't like those as much.



I'm looking for a party-based RPG as good as the M&M and Wizardry games.



Any recommendations? Or am I a dying breed in the age of first-person and internet-based games?

Welcome to IW! just wanna say hi!. Have you tried arcanium or planescape torment?

I actually bought wizards and warriors 2 days ago. it was being sold for 5 AUD. how cheap. I havent played it though. Hope my money is worth it.

ps: oh yeah, dont be surprised if this is moved to the micellenious games forum. this kind of post is better suited there.

I heard also btw, that there is a new warlord or might and magic game coming out soon. enjoy your time in IW.

Try Planescape: Torment if you're looking for a breath-taking story and atmosphere. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Wizards & warriors is a fine way to spend your gaming time. If you have problems getting it to run on a Win2k or XP system, stop by the Ironworks W&W forum -- we've helped a number of folks play it.

The graphics are a bit dated, being that the game is almost five years old now. So if you're looking for eye candy, you won't find it. If you're looking for a good RPG in the style of M&M and Wizardry, you'll find it. DW Bradley was also behind W&W.

I'd agree on Planescape Torment also! It took me til last year to actually purchase it and I couldn't believe I was deprived of it for so long!

Not sure how easy it is to find nowadays but a must have for any fan of RPG's especially one of BG!

Baldur's Gate, BGII, and Neverwinter Nights, especially its expansions, Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark.

Welcome to Ironworks. Go for the Baldur`s Gate series and/or Planscape: Torment.
