Tauto: Saw another thread that mentioned Pool of Radiance.Searched and cannot find it.Gog sure knows how to make things confusing and whoever set up this system is an idiot.

Avogadro6: Pool of Radiance should be included here: https://www.gog.com/game/forgotten_realms_the_archives_collection_two
Had a look at all 3 sets and it wasn't there.They must have it hidden in a deep,deep place or I missed it as I looked thru the more recommendations twice.It was probably buried because it has working problems and as I've never seen it on sale my guess is it's stuffed with problems and the easiest way is to hide it.On a side note,I have the map still stuck on my wall (overland map) and maybe I should try installing the discs but they are buried in a secret place and I've forgotten the safe code.

You must have missed it, it is in the Forgotten Realms Collection 2. See attached pic


So at the end of this year I finally began collecting big box PC games like I've always wanted to, and started with Pool of Radiance. It's really really neat, I have to say. Did the box come with a may of the overworld? Or did you make it, just curious? It's definitely from a different time if the game comes with a code wheel.

amok: try searching for the game "TRI"...
You mean TRI: Of Friendship and Madness? It's like the third result if you type TRI, it's not that hard to find...

Well,I had another look (twice) and it's NOT there.Maybe it's banned in Australia,(I have no idea if it is) thankyou.
Where site search fails, google delivers.

And did you click read more?

Therein lies the problem, one has to click on 'read more'. It sure looks as if GOG does not want casual customers to find these games.

This is how i search the gog forums. It also feels less bloated to look for a game this way, too, as the regular search is a CPU hog, even if i still use it so i dn't have to type the full name of a game.

It's the 3rd result if you google :)

Try the search icon at the top of the page. The very top, over on the far right. Next to the shopping cart icon. When the search is begun from there the menus will be replaced with a place to type text for the search. When I typed either "TRI" or "Tri" then the game "TRI: Of Friendship and Madness" is the third item.

Though, I don't understand the order of the list. It's a different order from any of the sorting options on the Store page for the searches done there.

Search via the nav bar. It's way more useful than searching from the "Browse" page (unless you need to use filters).

So it seems GOG has not one, but two incomprehensible search algorithms on their site.

Oh hang on, the forum search makes it three.
