Shot97 | Might And Magic III Isles Of Terra - Amiga - Gaming Memories And Review @Shot97 | Uploaded October 2015 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Released in 1991 on DOS, Might and Magic III was ported to several machines and consoles. It received a very faithful yet under-looked port for the Amiga, which I'm looking at here. The early Might and Magic games I consider criminally underrepresented in today's world, despite being huge sellers and winning many awards in their time. Even fans of the series seem to stay clear of these fantastic early games.
News Flash: If they were not great before, there is no way they could have gotten up to number 6, which the modern love seems to come from. Might and Magic III, like all of the early games, is fantastic and worth your time. Here are my thoughts and memories from it.

Title card was made using DPaint and PPaint on my Amiga 500. This review took several months to put together, the most effort I've yet put into a video. If the past is any indication that means this will receive the least feedback... :D But lots of time and love went into this one. :)
