Might and Magic: Gates to Another World is a role-playing game released for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, developed by New World Computing.

It is part of the Might and Magic series. The series also appears on other systems with Crusaders of Might and Magic (PS1) and Warriors of Might and Magic (PS1). New World Computing also made The Faery Tale Adventure and King's Bounty: The Conqueror's Quest for the Genesis.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for an epic journey (20+ hours of adventure)
  • you've played the Genesis hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want instant action rather than menus, story and grinding
  • you are looking for something to play with friends
  • you only have a few minutes at a time

What playing Might and Magic: Gates to Another World is like

Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.

Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
