I absolutely adore the first two games as some of gamings absolute finest, the third I don't think I ever got round to completing.

Grabbed them as soon as I received the email from GoG.
Very hesitant about actually installing them though. Not sure I want to replace the rose tinted glasses with cold hard reality

Yeah, I took a second to think about it and realised I don't really want to play them again.

I think a lot of the old isometric D&D titles have aged fairly gracefully, but first-person dungeon crawls with only 90 degree turns, like Eye of the Beholder, don't really hold up well for me anymore.

Holy smoke, Eye of the Beholder was one of my first gaming love affairs!

Like Morbad said, it's a genre that didn't age well. Legends of Grimrock was a nice genre tribute though. https://store.steampowered.com/app/207170/Legend_of_Grimrock/

While EoTB was good, Might and Magic 6,7and 8 are still playable now, my lad (in his early 20s) still insists that the 'trilogy' is second to none as re-playables

I still play the "lighter" version of M&M, "King's Bounty" series, every now and then. I find it very relaxing games, and love the art style, especially the last 2 instalments King's Bounty Warriors of the North and King's Bounty the Dark Side.
