Might and Magic: World of Xeen is a singleplayer first-person RPG game in the Might and Magic series.
This game is formed by combining Might and Magic: Clouds of Xeen and Might and Magic: Darkside of Xeen (see instructions). Later CD-ROM versions have full speech for all dialogue.
General information
- Can be played on ScummVM.[1]
- GOG.com Community Discussions for game series
- GOG.com Support Page
- Celestial Heavens' subforum
- Supported by Where Are We? — an automapping and game data reference utility.

---|---|---|---|---|
Retail | CD-ROM versions have full speech. Use DOSBox. | |||
GOG.com | Includes both speech and text versions. Bundled with games 1-6. Pre-packaged with DOSBox.[3] |
- The floppy version needs the manual to answer copy protection questions (see
keys_3_5.pdf
for GOG.com).
Essential improvements
Combine Clouds of Xeen and Darkside of Xeen
- Might and Magic: Clouds of Xeen and Might and Magic: Darkside of Xeen can be combined to form World of Xeen.
- Later compilations have the games already combined (the title screen will say World of Xeen).
Combine the two games[4] |

Notes
|
Start World of Xeen in Darkside
- World of Xeen normally uses the Might and Magic: Clouds of Xeen starting location.
- This does not work for the full speech version.
Run without XEEN.CC[5] |

|
Fix for flickering/disappearing mouse cursor
- If the game is running under DOSBox, the mouse cursor may flicker or even disappear in the top portion of the game screen.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to
<path-to-game>/cloud_saves/
even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in thecloud_saves
folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
