GoG.com adds yet another game in the classic Might and Magic fantasy game franchise to its DRM-free PC game download site today. This time the site has added Might and Magic 8: Day of the Destroyer, the 2000 released single player RPG that was developed by New World Computing and released by the now defunct publisher 3DO.

The game, now owned and published by Ubisoft, features the player leading a band of warriors in order to stop an invasion from the planes of Fire, Air, Earth and Water that are threatening the game's fantasy world. The GoG.com version, which contains the game's soundtrack and other freebies, is now available to purchase and download for $5.99.

Sometimes you just need to sit down, slide a floppy into your A: drive, and enjoy gaming retro style. We know this all too well! That's why we have a list of the best and brightest from days long gone. These are some of our favorite games of all time, and we're sure that you'll love them as much as we do, if not more. Welcome to Boot Disk, and enjoy the retro ride!

While the real-time strategy genre may have started as an action game where you wade into the thick of things to deploy your units, it quickly became more about the dramatic overview and large-scale strategy, mostly in thanks to Dune 2. Instead of bumping shoulder to shoulder with your troops, you command things from the safety of an eagle's eye perspective. While there's nothing wrong with this, sometimes it is more fun to frag enemies alongside your soldiers instead of simply commanding them to attack. One of the better games in this expanding and mixed genre of first-person shooter and real-time strategy, and one of the first, is Uprising. It didn't shake any foundations when it released. This is a shame, because it really should have. Uprising is fantastic, and if you have never played it, you definitely need to give this nostalgic ride a go.
