If you'd care for an interesting read about the history of Might and Magic, Hardcore Gaming 101 published this article a while ago, taking the readers from Book I in 1986 to M&M VI twelve years later.

Even if you don't want an interesting read, you could have a look at the article, which is full of excellent pictures. I'm sure some of those will bring tears to your eyes and feelings of nostalgia to your heart ... if you ever played any of those games, that is. If you didn't, that stuff probably won't mean dick to you.
