Part 1: Let's Play Might and Magic!

Let's Play Might and Magic!
That's right, folks, I'm going to be LPing every one of the first fiveMight and Magic games. Why yes, I do have too much time on myhands. I've gotthreepreviousLPs to my name, so you can trust me to finish thisone.
Might and Magic I: Secret of the Inner Sanctum is a classic computerRPG, originally released in 1986 for the Apple II by New WorldComputing and later ported to about ten different platforms. Nearly thewhole game is the work of one man, Jon Van Caneghem, working out of hisapartment in his spare time. Nowadays, he apparently spends most of histime making various MMORPGs.
We're going to be LPing the Mac version, because I'm not playing a CRPGthat doesn't have mouse support. It has black and white graphics, buttrust me when I say that most of the graphics aren't really improved bythe addition of colour.
Think of M&M as the somewhat gentler big brother of games likeBard's Tale and Wizardry. Rather than being set in a single city ordungeon, the quest of Might and Magic spans the entire land of Varn,with 55 different areas to explore, comprising towns, dungeons andoutdoor sections. When I say 'somewhat gentler', though, that's verymuch a relative term: the party's still gonna die a lot, but at leastthis game lets us return to our last save point.
Our adventure begins in the pleasant little backwater town of Sorpigal.For an adventure, of course, we shall need adventurers!
The party can have up to six members. If we wanted, we could use thepre-generated default characters, but where's the fun in that? I'llneed volunteers from the audience to help create our party!
Here's the character generation screen. I think all the statistics arepretty self-explanatory, except for Personality, which affects Clerics'and Paladins' spell points. Select your class, and if you want me toprioritise certain stats over others, be sure to mention it. Here's arundown on the six character classes:
Knight: You know what these are. They wear shining armour andhit things. Knights can use all weapons and armour, except for a fewrare magical items designed exclusively for other classes. They alsogain more hit points than any other class, but can't cast spells.Knights must have at least 12 Might.
Paladin: Paladins wear even shinier armour than Knights, andafter enough holy crusading they can eventually please their god enoughto gain low-level Cleric spells. They don't gain as many hit points asa Knight, but can still use nearly all weapons and armour. Paladinsmust have at least 12 Might, Personality and Endurance.
Archer: Hitting things is all very well, but what do you do whenyou need to hit something that's not within convenient stabbingdistance? Well, you can either use a missile weapon or a spell, andArchers excel with both. They gain as many hit points as a Paladin, canuse nearly all weapons, can cast low-level Sorcerer spells, and are theonly class allowed to use missile weapons in melee combat. Theirdefensive abilities aren't so impressive, though: they can't wear anyarmour heavier than chain mail or use any shields. Archers must have atleast 12 Intellect and Accuracy.
Cleric:

Might And Magic 1 Walkthrough

Holy men and women who sweet-talk deities into lettingthem perform miracles. They don't gain as many hit points as the meleeclasses, and they're restricted to using blunt weapons, but they canwear any armour up to chain mail and use all shields. Most importantly,they can cast spells to heal and protect the party. An adventuringparty without at least one Cleric shouldn't expect to survive verylong. Clerics must have at least 12 Personality.
Sorcerer: Sorcerers gain the fewest HP of any class and apitiful selection of equipment: they can only use clubs, daggers,staffs and padded armour. They make up for this with their spell list,containing a variety of powerful offensive, utility, and evenprotective spells. Sorcerers must have at least 12 Intellect, and theyalso benefit more than most classes from having high Speed.
Robber: Masters of going places they're not supposed to be andtaking things they're not supposed to have. Robbers have as many HP asclerics, but have a slightly weaker selection of armour. They can useone-handed weapons and crossbows, but they don't fight as well as aKnight, Archer or Paladin, and they can't use any spells. Their mostimportant skill is the ability to pick locks and disarm traps, whichare deadly enough that it would be foolhardy to adventure without aRobber. Any character can be a Robber, but I think that high Luckimproves their chance to successfully pick locks and disarm traps.
Once you've decided what class your new hero is to be, you need toselect a race, alignment and sex.
Any race can belong to any class. Some are better at some classes thanothers, but the stat penalties aren't big enough to cripple anyclass/race combination. Humans have balanced stats and resistance tofear and sleep spells. Elves resist fear and have high Intellect andAccuracy, but low Might and Endurance. Dwarves resist poison and havehigh Endurance and Luck, but low Intellect and Speed. Gnomes resistmagic and have high Luck, but low Speed and Accuracy. Half-orcs resistsleep and have high Might and Endurance, but low Intellect, Personalityand Luck.
Alignment affects a character's ability to equip certain magic items,and also has a minor impact on certain quests and events: overall, it'snot very important. A character's alignment can change throughout thegame, based mostly on how they react to monster encounters. There's anadvantage to everyone in the party having the same alignment, but it'snot a big deal.
Sex is important in only one place in the game, as far as I know, butin that place it's very important. Females have an advantageover males, but don't worry: if we don't start out with enough females,we can fix that later.
Finally, your hero will need a name, which can be up to 15 charactersin length.
I think I've yammered on for long enough today. It's time to sign up,brave adventurers!

Its Abandonware. Quick guide to get the emulator running(from memory, so I might be forgetting something: it has been a whilesince I set it up):
1. Get the game from http://www.macintoshgarden.org/ -this is perfectly legal, don't worry, Thuryl linked it to me before.
2. Now you need an emulator for old, old Macs. Since I'm on an IntelMac, I chose Mini vMac, though Basilisk II seemsto be nice too. Anyway, my explanation might not apply to any otheremulator than vMac.
3. Now you need a whole bunch of stuff:

• Empty, virtual Macintosh 'Disks'. I upped one for you here
  
• The vmac.rom file. Since I'm unsure about its legality (thoughit shouldn't be much of a problem, since Apple offers almost all oldsystem files directly on apple.com) I won't link to it.
  
• MacOS 6.0.8, which you can download directly from Apple here. You are looking for two filescalled 'SSW_6.0.8-1.4MB_Disk1of2.sea.bin' and, surprisingly enough,'-Disk2of2.sea.bin'
  
• Some way to use the .dsk files. I have honestly no idea how topull it off in Windows - on a Mac, you just rename the .dsk files to.img, which lets you mount them easily afterwards, copy everything youneed, unmount and rename them back to *dsk. Perhaps you can pull offsomething similar by renaming the disks to .img and mounting them withDaemon Tools?

4. Now you just copy the blank disk image several times, which lets youmake a bunch of system disks, and a disk with Might & Magic on it(just copy everything on them once you've figured out how, nothingfancy I suppose). You can also find premade system .dsk-files somewhereon the vMac homepage, though I can't seem to find them just now.
5. Just drag&drop the disks on the emulator to mount them in yourlittle System 6. You might want to run the setup from the system disksfirst (during which you'll need one more blank disk). After everythingis installed, just drop your Might & Magic virtual disk on theemulator, open it and play away!
To add to this, here's a little advice on getting Basilisk II running. It's actuallyeasier than vMac in some ways, since Basilisk II lets you create avirtual hard disk using a few hundred megabytes of disk space on yourreal hard drive, and also allows you to specify a folder as a sharedfolder between your real computer and the emulated computer (theemulated computer treats it as a network drive.) So all you have to dois install some system software on your virtual hard disk, then get acopy of Might & Magic, drag it into the shared folder and installit from there. Unfortunately, Basilisk II is a resource hog and has anoccasional tendency to crash.

The DOS version of this game is in French but the game 'Might and Magic Trilogy' contains MM III to V (plus Swords of Xeen) and can be downloaded from this site, in English.
Haven't tested the download yet but this is what is indicated in the 'Might and Magic Trilogy' download page.

Masterluck2013-08-110 point DOS version

You cannot just change the language in these old games. I am afraid you simply have to find another version. Try it on GOG

Kid Daedalus2012-10-310 point DOS version

I'm new to this emu, but this game is running in French. Can anyone tell me how to change it?
