Might and Magic 8 - Day of the Destroyer (PC)

I play a lot of freeware RPGs, (Role Playing Games) but for the first time since… ever? – I actually decided to buy one. For reasons known or unknown, even to myself, I went for Might & Magic 8: Day of the Destroyer. Overview Big earth-shattering event… evil unleashed… small party of warriors must save the world against incredible odds… the storyline is all pretty standard RPG fare.
