Ultimate Might Magic
Archives includes 1 - 5 plus Swords of Xeen and
World of Xeen.
I'll reiterate that those "normal" compilations are the
best you can buy if you want to play the games. Where else can you get all
of that classic gaming for under $50 (including shipping) that comes on CD and
will run on a modern windows machine? If you're a fan of playing these
games, you can't do betterI wish there were more of them...props or
not.

it...Well, I think all
those are just "normal" compilations. You can get 99% of those games with some
patience, even the Ultima Collection is rather common in its "EA Classics"
variation. "Ultimate Might
Magic Archives" are a bundle including 1-5, correct? Might Magic 6
Limited Edition had Might Magic 1-6 and some extra interesting props.
Also, 3DO is now selling Might Magic Platinum Edition, which includes
MM 6-9 and Heroes of Might Magic Platinum Edition with HoMM 1-3
plus all addons. I just remembered
something: is it me or the Quest for Glory Anthology is considerably more rare
than the Quest for Glory Collection?--Pedro R.

[SWCollect] Some people push it...Interplay is by far the king of anthologies. A few of the best
anthologies I have are relatively new. And by best, I'm not talking rare
or containing special goodies. I just mean the sheer volume of work they
contain is awesome:
The Ultimate Might and Magic Archives
(1998 Interplay)
The Ultimate Wizardry Archives (2000
Interplay)
The Ultimate RPG Archives (2000
Interplay)
The Ultima Collection (1998
Origin/EA), which was also part of Ultima IX: Ascension (Dragon
Edition) A couple of older
compilations also rank as my favorites: Interplay's 10 Year Anthology: Classic Collection (CD):
Mindshadow Tass Times Bard's
Tale Wasteland
Dragon Wars Battle Chess Lord of the Rings Castles Star Trek 25th
Anniversary Out of this
World EA compilation CD: Yeager's Air CombatSpace HulkHong Kong Mahjong ProWing
Commander AcademyThe Savage EmpireSeven Cities of GoldPopulous
IIUltima VII The Black GateShadow CasterUltima Underworld
Also worth mentioning: Scott Adams'
Adventure Series Limited Gold Edition I don't have it
handy, but I also remember that Computer Gaming World's 200th issue came
with a very worthwhile compilation CD. -Original Message-From: Dan Chisarick

[SWCollect] Some people push it... Yeah, that is pretty bad. He cites in his
description "this is an extremely rare game". Anyone who has anything
that is truely desirable typically starts the bidding under $10 knowing that
hordes will jump all over it To change the
change of topic slightly, anyone got some nominations for anthologies that
really are worth having? I'd toss my personal favorite "First Ultima
Trilogy" (for the Apple no less) into the ring (and after hunting for it
forever I've seen no less than 5 on ebay after getting one). My
reason, aside from being an Ultima/Origin person, is that Ultima II is
branded "Origin" instead of "Sierra". That gives it value (to
me).
One more bit... I can't help but
be annoyed at the "collector's editions" of games over the years.
Collecting package variants, promo items, author's signatures, etc. of
classic goodies made it a fairly personal experience. Now with
"numbered limited editions" of too many major titles (Age of Mythology,
Return to Castle Wolfenstien, Neverwinter Nights, Jedi Knight II off the top
