Might & Magic: Gates to Another World

[Melf]

When most people think of RPGs, they don't think of the Genesis. That's unfortunate, as the console boasts a great library of quality titles (almost as many as it has shmups!). When you're done with the Phantasy Stars and Shining titles, there's another game awaiting your attention. Nowhere near as pretty or manageable as those games but boasting a quest almost three times the size, Might & Magic: Gates to Another World is the one Genesis RPG that will make you humble. Trust us, any game with a 169-page instruction manual is one that doesn't pull its punches. Interested? Then grab your sword, read our full review, and see if you're man enough for this monster.

WOW!

I had NO CLUE that this was on Genesis! Thats quite a hefty instruction manual I must say. But this is a great game, and if I ever get the time, I would love to dive into it.

I rented this and I didn't have time to figure out its intricacies. This is one of those games that you need to force yourself to play and understand. I think that once you get it that it may be somewhat involving. Graphics suck ass, though. And they are tosh! Stop playing this game for a few days and you won't remember how to play when you come back.

Wow that looks like a very nice game, looking at some games like twinkle tale get decent reviews makes you wonder because when I tried it on the emulator when considering purchasing it I thought it was awful... but this seems like a very nice and very different rpg, thanks for bringing it to my attention melf!

I'm the first to agree that the graphics were bad and the menus were clunky, but I remember one amazing week when I was new to Genesis. The world captivated me completely, and I couldn't believe how much there was to see and do.

I would suggest that M&M was the supreme title of its kind back in the day, and it still holds a certain appeal to certain people.

That does look like an interesting one. I might have to add it to my collection at some point, assuming it is available in Europe.

It is. And it is not even rare (if you can live without the instructions).

If by its kind you western computer RPGs. Else, that's blasphemy.

As for me, I tried and tried, but man, I hate those games. Altough I'd still take this any day over Faery Tales Adventure. Jesus.
