In.
Now I own all of the M&M games other than M&M 9. Which was horrible, from what I recall.

I already have the M&M 6-pack, but I could never get it running in Windows XP/beyond. Does GOG make them playable without having to jump through hoops on Win XP/Vista/7?

The 6-Pack worked fine for me in Vista. Didn't have to change any settings.

I love me a good dungeon crawler, but somehow I missed these games when they were released. So if you could only play one of them which one would it be?

Given that I have a fairly low tolerance for old-school graphics, which one has the best story/characters/atmosphere to keep me interested? |

6 is my favorite, and it comes in a pack with the first 5 games. M&M 7 and 8 are both similar to 6 and still fun, but they're not as good as 6. |

I loved World of Xeen which I think was IV & V combined into one big world, but I think it may be too dated now.

I'm playing M&M 7 on my netbook right now. Its gameplay has some improvements over 6 and it's definitely a fun game, but I still like 6 better. Maybe 6 seemed more cohesive than 7 does, or maybe I'm biased because I bought 6 on release day back in 1998 and enjoyed it immensely (and am about to rebuy it for my son--curse you, GOG). |

Yep 6 and 7 were some of the best dungeon crawlers of their time. Both those games ate up major hours on my PC
and 8 had a really sweet tavern game called Arcomage. That game alone is worth the price. Its kind of a MTG card game wannabe, it played fast and was really quite a bit of fun.

I am sorely tempted to buy some of the M&M games, even though I think I've played most of them at one time or another. M&M 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. The only thing holding me back is that I hate having to boot up in Windows on my Macbook (don't have Parallels) each time I want to play a game. I really wish GoG could make these games Macbook compatible.
