Play Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World on Msdos Online

Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World came out in 1988 from New World Computing, a solid MS-DOS RPG from a time when these games were built on complex systems and player patience. Your party stumbles into CRON through a glitchy gate, dodging Sheltem’s mess while managing a crew of hired swords; just don’t let their paychecks drain your gold. The pixel-y world actually makes sense now, and those little spinning cursors feel like lifesavers.

You control a party of up to six adventurers, navigating screen by screen across an overworld and delving into multi-level dungeons filled with monsters and secrets. The main goal is to stop the rogue planetary guardian Sheltem, which involves gathering clues, solving environmental puzzles, and engaging in turn-based combat where positioning and spell selection matter. You constantly manage resources like food, gold for training, and spell points, and the game’s difficulty doesn’t hold your hand, expecting you to map dungeons yourself and learn through trial and error. It feels like slowly unraveling a massive, intricate puzzle where every small victory is earned.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
