Game Requirement

To use Amber Launcher, you must own an original copy of Might & Magic 7: For Blood and Honor (1999).
The best way to get a working copy is through GOG.com.

Amber Launcher comes preconfigured with the Might & Magic 7: Amber Island mod (latest stable version).
You don't need to download the mod separately - the launcher will automatically install and configure it for you during setup.
