Might And Magic IV: Clouds Of Xeen - DOS - Gaming Memories And Review
21Originally released in 1992 for MS-DOS, Might and Magic IV bucked the trend of the day by keeping the combat turn based, and keeping the engine in a beautiful 2D style. It would soon become revolutionary when the fifth game of the franchise came out, combining together to form two and a half games, and this was before Sonic the Hedgehog would do it. My review for the fourth game in the historical Might and Magic role playing franchise.
