Hi Pokey - yep I made the jump and finally got through the tunnels. I think I killed everything in there - I am now in the Land of the Giants.

Another world saved. I just completed the game at Level 63 - in 4 years, 7 months, 19 days with a score of 5,185 and 251,044 gold.

Now back to my Jedi in KOTOR II

Congrats on finishing the game syd

Thank yee kindly Smiley, thank yee kindly -

I loaded in MM8 and 9 - trying not to start 8 until I finish KOTOR II however.

You're welcome

I'll wait with MM8 as well, until you've finished KOTOR II

You got it Smiley - as soon as I rescue the world in what ever century my Jedi is in, I'll let you know and we can trip the light fantastic in MM8. Of course, I can guarantee that you'll rescue the world before I do

Lol, considering that it's been ages since I played MM8, perhaps you'll rescue the world before me

I just started M&M 7 after finishing M&M 6. Actually, I played Six twice and it's a LONG game.

I'm having trouble in the Harmondale Castle. There are two dead-end corridors that I'm sure must open, but I can't seem to find out how.

Any suggestions?

Atheen, check out this map. There are two dead end corridors shown.

Thank you!

Can you tell me how to do that? I just upgraded to XP Home from ME and although I loaded M&M 6 without problems, I can't seem to get M&M 7 to run.

Of course, my PC is about 5 years old and maybe your solution wouldn't work for me?

I'd really like to play this game. I installed it on an old laptop that runs on Win 98 with only 64 MB RAM and it worked well. Then the laptop hard drive broke. It seems like if M&M 7 ran on THAT computer, it should run on XP?????

Right click on an open area of the destop and select properties. Then click on settings>advanced>troubleshoot. This didn't work for me. I used the software mode available in the game menu.

There's a few things on this page for running the M+M games on XP. There's a reference to Mok's patch (link on that page) which is the only way I got 6 to run, and it looks like it works for 7 as well, if I'm reading this right.

Here's what I had to do to get it run on XP (klick on "full size" if it doesn't show correctly)

Thank you all so much! I started the game over now and it's working great on my PC. Too bad I didn't save games on a floppy or something from the laptop, but it's a fun game and I'm happy to see it working so well. I THINK what fixed it was the patch. This game had stumped all the ' computer experts' in my family.

Gameboomers are the best!

My game is going pretty well, I think. Starting over was a good thing.

I cannot figure out what the red apples are for. Anyone know? They're all over the place and are called magical, but what the heck do they do? Keep the Shamans away?

Thanks for any info...........

Hi Atheen You use the apples to add a point to the character statistics. Comes in handy often when you need so many points to qualify for becoming an expert etc. in some ability.

Thank you! I thought I'd checked on all that, but was checking experience points. I'm glad I didn't just let them all picnic on the apples between slaughters and shopping.

NO! no. My head isn't here today! Sorry Atheen, the horseshoes are for the points. The apples are just for health - so you can picnic away!

Actually, the apples add to the food that the party needs, but you're correct in a way since it also affects (sp?) the health when you run out of food

Well. Whatever. I was hoping for something to keep my dwarfish sorceror from fainting.

This is a fun game, tho. So far I like it better than M&M 6.

How's it going for your party Atheen?

As this thread has reached the page limit, I will now close it. Please continue your discussion on the new "Might & Magic 6, 7, and/or 8?" thread that I created for you.
