I just wanted to thank everyone for making this a great article in my opinion. I must say, when I first did this article (probably one of my first edits), there was almost no substance. I did make an edit that added substance and history. But, everyone else who edited this turned not only my work, but added their own work also and created what was a barely readable article into an article that an average person can be intrigued in. Thank you all.
P.S. Sorry if this sounded a little bit like self advertising. Fableheroesguild 04:37, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
fyi- there's a version of might & magic viii: day of the destroyer for the japanese playstation 2. the game is fundamentally the same as the pc version, but adds a tutorial dungeon and support for a peripheral called popegg, which was/is a printer that allowed players to take pictures during gameplay.
here's the list of all console & pc might and magic games if you's like to expand this one day...

Image:New World Computing (Nuclear War) .png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I fact-tagged and then removed this text from the Might & Magic section:
This claim is doubtful and needs a citation. What about Wizardry 1 and 2 on the Apple II, or Eamon Adventures? In any case the claim (and the awkward mentioning of and defense of Alternate Reality) isn't cited, so I removed it. Tempshill ( talk) 18:12, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Actually, Clouds of Xeen and Darkside of Xeen worked as indicated above. At the time New World Computing allowed you to mail in your disk based set of the game and exchange it for the CD version, because the CD version wasn't ready when the original game went to press. You were able to cross into 1 game from the other exactly as indicated above, however.
Furthermore, M&M 2 was available for the Commodore 64 & Amiga computers. Tripleh13 ( talk) 06:16, 19 April 2010 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Tripleh13 ( talk • contribs) 06:10, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Hello, there is the discussion if a offline webpage for an dead company is a information for the infobox or not, in this specific case www.nwcomputing.com. I would argue that even if this page is not reachable anymore it should be still added in the infbox, (maybe not as link, just as noninteractive text), when it existed some time ago. First, a web-representation was significant a part of the companie's profile and practically might be still a valueable information for someone doing research in the context of this company, for example doing a http://www.google.de/search?q=links%3Awww.nwcomputing.com search with google or in archives like http://liveweb.waybackmachine.org/http://www.nwcomputing.com (not in here, robots.txt is set) for which the knowledge of the webpage-url is required. cheers Shaddim ( talk) 04:35, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
hmmm, looks like this discussion needs for a concensus more participants... maybe we should forward this topic to the portal video games Portal_talk:Video_games Shaddim ( talk) 17:13, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
