As prophesied in the Book of Ages, you began your life simply, as a shepherd of sheep in the Fairfield Lowlands, near the idyllic village of Duskwood Forest. Even at the age of six, those around you felt your special countenance and observed your potential as you saved an entire flock from ravaging wolves. Then, one night during your twelfth year, you had an argument with your father who sent you back to the fields to tend the sheep. There, you watched helplessly from a distance as the demented Legion of the Fallen, the army of undead led by the evil Necros, swept down on your village, leaving complete death and destruction in its wake.
Desperately, you attempted to race back and help but your efforts were much too late. Once there, you were attacked viciously by a villager turned undead and forced to impale him with a burning pole to survive -- but not before he scarred your face terribly with a slicing sword cut, another piece of the prophecy fulfilled. For the next ten years you wandered the land, banding with gypsies, thieves and mercenaries from whom you learned many skills -- swordsmanship, deception, stealth and survival. Your reputation as The Scarred One grew and your exploits eventually became known to Necros himself.
During a fateful attack in the dead of night by a roving band of Ogres, you were helped by a blind hermit, Nomandi the Stoic, who soon after became your mentor in all things magical and arcane. After a peaceful period of time spent learning even more skills under Nomandi, the time finally came to strike off on your own. In a final twist of unkind fate, as you took your leave both you and your mentor were attacked by a ravaging band of the Legion. Mortally wounded, Nomandi begged your assistance to help him die normally, via a sleeping potion, rather than die of his wounds, thus becoming one of the undead.
You complied and now alone against the world, you, Drake, The Scarred One, set off to rid the world of the heinous Necros and his undead minions, the Legion of the Fallen.
In Crusaders of Might and Magic, you'll visit nine distinct environments throughout the land of Ardon, each rendered in fully navigable 3D. You'll meet allies including three factions of Crusader Knights, led by the warrior priestess Celestia and several factions of Dwarves led by a sworn companion in arms, Prince Dain Stoneheart. Obstacles to overcome include both enemy and neutral clans such as Dashers, Elementals, Ogres and the Glacial Titans -- each with distinct and self-serving agendas.
Playing from a third-person perspective in either software mode or with Direct3D support, you'll encounter merchants and guilds, learn and utilize ten spells, each with three distinctive levels of effectiveness, weapons, shields, armor, potions and items to help you during your quest. Character attributes include such areas as strength, speed, intelligence, endurance, health, mana points, multiple armor classes, damage absorption, resistances and experience level.
Customizable keyboard controls plus limited mouse interaction combine to serve as the interface for the game. Crusaders of Might and Magic blends action with role-playing in the ever-expanding world of Might and Magic titles.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
