Classic AD&D CRPG Titles Available Again on GOG.com!
It has taken what seems like forever, but a bunch of the classic AD&D computer role playing games I loved as a teen and young adult are being made available again on GOG.com! But enough with my commentary, here are the offerings!
FORGOTTEN REALMS – THE ARCHIVES – COLLECTION ONE
This collection includes the following games for $9.99:
- EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
- EYE OF THE BEHOLDER II: THE LEGEND OF DARKMOON
- EYE OF THE BEHOLDER III: ASSAULT ON MYTH DRANNOR
FORGOTTEN REALMS: THE ARCHIVES – COLLECTION TWO
This collection includes the following games for $9.99:
- POOL OF RADIANCE
- CURSE OF THE AZURE BONDS
- HILLSFAR
- SECRET OF THE SILVER BLADES
- POOLS OF DARKNESS
- GATEWAY TO THE SAVAGE FRONTIER

- FORGOTTEN REALMS UNLIMITED ADVENTURES
FORGOTTEN REALMS: THE ARCHIVES – COLLECTION THREE
This collection includes the following games for $5.99:

One can only assume that the Krynn and Ravenloft games are not far behind.
EDIT: Don’t worry that Pool of Radiance is using the wrong box cover. It is the Gold Box game version.
Nice! More commentary please! =)
Have you got any questions? I thought these titles were ubiquitous, but maybe I’m wrong.
You are not wrong. Besides, GoG’s site describes them in rapturous glory.
Eye of the Beholder is simply one of teh best dungeon crawls. EVER. It models AD&D, has good puzzles and the second one is even better. (If you play Temple of the Dark Moon, DON’T use the fireballs in the glass spheres as weapons, even though they will let you. You’ll thank me later.)
My favorite in the EotB series was definitely the first, even though they got bigger with each new title. I remember being awestruck at the realism of the first person perspective and real-time combat on the very first level. We got stuck on the Maze/Spider level for ages it seemed.
Surely these wont run on win7????
Surely they will! They run in a DOSBox window.
From the GOG.com product page:
WOOHOO…That is awesome.
Tonight iam going old school 🙂
How are they gonna get past the spinnging wheel
They have coded a mini-app that lets you click on the two symbols and shows the words along each of the three dashed, or dotted lines. However, it appears they are not needed. The protection may have be removed within the programs themselves.
i’d LOVE to see these games updated to todays standards
