The Might and Magic RPG series (M&M;) by 3DO/New World Computing is one of the three big franchises of old school computer fantasy role-playing with Ultima and Wizardry being the other two. Along with the Bard's Tale series, M&M; defined the old school computer hack 'n slash RPG over nine releases spanning from 1986 till 2002. The Might and Magic world spawned numerous spin-offs with Heroes of Might and Magic being the most successful. Scenarios one to five of the series are DOS games where six to nine are windows-based. The ninth part wasn't well received by press and gamers alike, so chances are that a tenth part will never be released. Sites devoted to the series itself or to more than one part are located in the main category, where sites focussing on one individual game are located in that game's sub category.
