I'm waiting so much for a new magic carpet!

I always find it funny whenever a developer said that a computer/console lacks the power to morph terrain, this game did it over 20 years ago - without even a 3D graphcs card!

I don't want a new Theme park, i want the first one with it's bugs fixed! Maybe some new attractions while we're at it, but that's about it, really

But what I really want is a new western Wizardry, a true sucessor to Wizardry 8. After all it had a multiple ending from where to continue the story (ok, you're cosmic lords now, but still)! And a new Might & Magic set in the pre-Ubisoft Science Fantasy setting

I'm just surprised someone else actually remembers Magic Carpet.  Tis a shame what happened to Bullfrog Productions and their IPs after being acquired by EA.

I enjoy Heroes of Might & Magic a lot but only played 2 and 5 on PC and Clash of Heroes on the DS.

I played Magic carpet togehter with a friend, ne on the keyboard and the other one with the joystick, since we didn't manage to ht the right keys on the keyboard in the heat of battle when we played single, so we teamed up.

Yeah, and not just Bullfrog. Origin Systems (Wing Commander, Ultima), Westwood (Command & Conquer, Lands of Lore), Maxis (Sim series) all got put trough the grinder after their aquisition. No wonder Molyneux and Garriot left their companies in disgust after earing what EA planned for them. Just wish Molyneux would have continued making great games instead of just imagining and promising them, Godus anyone?

I played through Might & Magic 1-8, Heroes of Might & Magic 1-5 and Might & Magic X. Ubisoft turned the complex Science Fanasy game series into a pretty standard and bland high fantasy setting.

Other game series I'm missing very much these days: Panzer general and Battle Isle. But Turn-based Wargames are pretty much dead for about 20 years now.
