Congrats that's not a small feat, and sorry about the diagnosis. I hope you beat that quickly!
I played various M&M games, and I found that in all of them you start very weak, making the game tedious at the beginning. Then after you break through, you can get reaaally OP and nothing can stand in your face. Same happened when I finished MM3 as well. I finished it not a long time ago. IIRC I gave the orbs to the good king, then went on to the ending. It's a nice ending too. Just don't do it on a fast machine, or you won't see a thing.

For figuring out the weapons, what I did was to equip/look at stats/unequip/look at stats. You can notice the differences in damage and other stats that benefited from the weapon as well.
In MM6 this same routine still applies, but it's easier to achieve.

I have MM2 on my list now since I finished MM1 a few months ago. And I needed a break too before I do more Might & Magic. It's really an investment to play games in this series.

Thanks. Currently cancer free, but the last two years have been rough between surgeries and radiation. Yep, I took the good king ending too. I played MM3 on a 486/66 with a slow ISA VGA card and the speed was pretty good. Some of the animations were a little too fast, but not game-breaking. Disabling L1 made it a little too slow, but it would've been playable either way.

I don't think I can bring myself to play MM1 or MM2, but who knows, maybe when I've beaten every DOS RPG and those two are all that's left, I'll give it a go. 🤣

MM6 is still on my list. That's another one I played when it was new, but never finished. Looking forward to that one. Right now I'm taking a break from RPGs and playing Control.

It's my absolute favourite of the entire series! When its time comes, enjoy 🙂
