Might and Magic – a role-playing game released in 1986 by New World Computing. It is the first publication in the Might and Magic series.
In the game, we command a six-person team of heroes that wanders around a large land, performing various tasks and fighting monsters. The character development system, as in other parts of the series, is similar to the system in the “paper” RPG – Dungeons and Dragons.
