Yeah, Mother's Day is for spending quality time with your mother, but at the end of the day, why not spend some time with another MoM: Master of Magic!  I can't think of a better way to honor this terrific classic game, than to play it on the day of it's namesake.  It's currently available on Good Old Games for $6!

As my friend put it in his blog, MoM is a mix of "Civilization style gameplay, but with tactical combat (similar to Heroes of Might and Magic)." (

So Sunday, May 9th, I'll definitely be playing MoM at some point.
