 Might and Magic IV: Clouds of Xeen (originally released as Might and Magic: Clouds of Xeen) is the fourth installment in the Might and Magic series. It focuses on the events that occur after the adventurers of Might and Magic III set off to follow Sheltem after he escapes from Terra. Might and Magic IV uses a game engine based on that used by Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra, and the gameplay is almost identical. This game and its successor, Might and Magic V: Darkside of Xeen can be combined to make one large game, World of Xeen. Clouds of Xeen introduced several new features into the series. This included a notes section which kept track of important information such as quests, clues, passwords, and the coordinates of locations of note. It also had a difficulty setting (applying only to combat). It also had a separate inventory for quest items which kept the player from accidentally discarding or selling critical items. The game was available initially on floppy disc but was also released on CD. Might and Magic IV and V were some of the very first Western games to come out on CD. They were also the first games to come out where every character's dialogs are recorded on the CDs.

 Might and Magic V: Darkside of Xeen (originally released as Might and Magic: Darkside of Xeen) is a fantasy RPG based on the Might and Magic III: Isles of Terra game engine. It is the fifth game in the Might and Magic series, and is a direct sequel to Might and Magic IV: Clouds of Xeen, concluding the story arc started in the original Might and Magic Book One: The Secret of the Inner Sanctum. If Might and Magic IV and V are installed on the same system, they can be combined into a single game. The combined game contains all of the content from IV and V, as well some additional quests, and is known as World of Xeen. In 1994, NWC released an enhanced World of Xeen CD, which expanded the amount of digital speech in the game.

This brings back memories. World of Xeen was one of my all-time favorite RPGS. I got Clouds of Xeen around the end of my high school years / beginning of college years. I played through the game and killed Lord Xeen... waiting eagerly for the next game and wondering where those pyramids would lead!

I finally got Darkside of Xeen when it was released and was surprised at how I could just install the game, load my save where I left off in M&M4... and just walk through the pyramid into the darkside. Expanding a game like that was unheard of back then. M&M 4 and 5 were like the chocolate and peanut butter of gaming. The games on their own were great, but were even better together!

Thanks for sharing the memories
