You got >the badly made port ;-) The PC port supported 16-colour EGA graphics, and made it technically better than the Apple II's 6-colour version. Somewhere in between would be the C64 port with 8 colours but it had better sound. Mind you I don't think the graphics were improved much in the PC or C64 ports. Might and Magic II looks noticibly much nicer in the PC port. I think a better comparison for Might and Magic X would be Might and Magic III, IV and V. SoundBlaster support and 256-colour graphics, what more could you want? >On a vaguely related note, I can still sing the song from the original >Bard's Tale. I still know the words and tune. How weird is that? Pretty weird. Ross Ridge -- l/ // Ross Ridge -- The Great HTMU [oo][oo] rri...@csclub.uwaterloo.ca -()-/()/ http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~rridge/ db //
