The Ultimate Might and Magic Archives Released

Interplay Entertainment announced today the release of The Ultimate Might and Magic Archives to software specialty retailers nationwide on CD-ROM for Windows 95/98-based computers, just in time for holiday shopping.

The Ultimate Might and Magic Archives Released is the story on November 18, 1998, and it is one of those late-1998 PC gaming updates that says exactly where the scene is right now. Interplay Entertainment announced today the release of The Ultimate Might and Magic Archives to software specialty retailers nationwide on CD-ROM for Windows 95/98-based computers, just in time for holiday shopping. The Ultimate Might and Magic Archives collection includes the first five volumes of the award winning role-playing game series plus the added bonus of Swords of Xeen, a title that had limited availability until now.

All of the original manuals and clue books have been added onto the CD-ROM, and reproductions of the original paper maps will be included as well. In addition, The Ultimate Might and Magic Archives also offers gamers the ability to install both Clouds of Xeen and Darkside of Xeen, creating the expansion adventure, World of Xeen, which allows journey back and forth between environments, multiple crossover quests and a unique ending. Physical releases still matter, especially when the box gives collectors something better than another plain jewel case.
