First, the good news for our programmers is that BlitzMax has been released which is excellent news for the MMT engine! Thanks to Ilya for noting it.

I`m a fan of the M&M series and I for one am looking forward to this game 🙂

I could just never fully embrace this series. I played the original on my C64 and remember it being too hard (I was but a youngster then). Played 2 on my Sega Genesis of all things. I liked those, but the series seemed to take a turn for comedy around #4 and world of Xeen, which I didn't care for. While I played 6 & 7, I thought they felt too much like an FPS with the real time combat. Plus, the dungeons were out of control huge in #6.

I recently fired up World of Xeen through DOSBox and because I have become too spoiled with fancy graphics I couldn't play for long.

With all that said, I think it's great the programmers are involving old MM development personnel and trying to make this faithful to the series.
