Was just coming to answer that Syd, and you had already figured it out. Happy wolf hunting, and be sure and look for the ghost ( kind of hard to find).

Syd, the werewolf lair is that wonderful rare dungeon where enemies will respawn if you keep running back and forth, so when you get near the big room (you'll know when you get there), set a Lloyd's Beacon there and use that to get back to town to heal up or sell stuff. That way you shouldn't trigger or run into respawned wolfies.

Installing Might and Magic VI on XP Home was a challenge! But it is now operational. Let the games begin.

welcome on board Pib...I agree, but done now and having a blast.

Ingie

Hi Pib - so glad to see you

Well the werewolf lair is history - sorta - I finished off the leader and got the pearl - took it back to the ghost. I still have a couple more werewolves to kill but I'm not sure I'm going to bother unless there's some really, really, really good stuff in there.

And in the real world - I got all my Christmas shopping done (hadn't even started until today), grocery shopping is done, got the tree and it's up minus the ornaments because my kittens have decided it's fun to take a flying leap, land on the tree and see how many shiny hangy thingies they can knock off - they think it's a lot more fun than I do

Sounds like fun and work combined..good then I can skip the dapper werewolves..

we have one cat, that like to climb the tree...to sleep..full speed ahead, blast the ornaments and tinsel and lights...nothing quite so strange as waking up to an empty tree with a cat snoozing...

Have fun Syd, you deserve it after your full day

Wow, I actually have the save games from the first install. Would you believe 1999? It was much easier to install then and finding the patch was a no brainer as well.

Now to try M&M VII... Saved games dated 2000-2001.

(Long term fan of the M&M series. Even had a certificate from winning M&M 1...way back in the beginning of time.

Wow Pib,

I am impressed!! I know Nickie is right there with you also.
I've been trading for these gems for a while now, at Nickie's suggeston, praying that one day I would be able to play them..thought I'd have to find an older computer..
So, are you joining us with VI or moving right into VII??

Ingie

Ingie I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the Wolf Lair is a quest - matter of fact there's three or four involved with that joint if I'm not mistaken. The entire town turns into werewolves during a full moon if you don't destroy the altar. Anyone know what happens if you land in Blackshire during a full moon and happen to kill one of the townspeople before you're aware what is going on? When they become human again do they attack you on sight?

Oh and Lord Beacon's spell - it's a lifesaver - and worth the gold I forked out to get it

Hi Syd,

Drat..tell you what, when I get to that section, I'll give it a try and let you know what happens to the folks that aren't in their dapper werewolf attire..

Ingie

Syd, I had no idea the townspeople turned into werewolves if you dont do the quest, I love that idea!
How did you find that out?

I've been trying to find someone I can get expert in precept ion to..does anyone know where this dude or dudette could be?? SG says New Soap..but I can't seem to locate the rascal..

Ingie

Ingie - go into the inn at New Sorprial and talk to Tara what's her face.

I might just be trying to get into both. First move is to check for UHS for the games to make catching up a bit easier.

I've been BAAGing M&M for some time. I have an original box of World of Xeen (from memory that's Clouds of Xeen, Darkside of Xeen and the special Swords of Xeen) bought from a shop back in the days when it was new. I also bought from ebay a M&M archives (games 1 to 5 - maybe) just in case I ever feel inspired to return to the beginning.

Anyone get the feeling that I've been enjoying M&M for some time now?

Thanks Syd..forget about the "little working folks"


Pib,
Sounds like my collection at this point. I think I have so many different ones that include others, and then just in case those wouldn't work...got the individuals..glad I did now..
Thanks to my prodding friend..

Ingie
