Saving throw successful.

At the behest of the mighty wizards, you have made a thousand-hour journey through the Forgotten Realms. As you reminisce upon your experiences, the critical hits, and the skill checks, little do you know that your quest is far from over. At dawn, you choose a new path through the DRM-free realm of GOG.com, and seek more adventure in the realms of Krynn, Dark Sun, and Ravenloft.

The missing pieces of cRPG history are coming back together! Our Dungeons & Dragons inventory just got bigger with three new packs containing seven long lost RPG digital premieres.

<span class="bold">--Dungeons &amp; Dragons: Ravenloft Series</span> - featuring Strahd's Possession, Stone Prophet - is one of the largest and most popular D&D settings ever. A gothic-noir universe ruled by the dark powers that be.

<span class="bold">--Dungeons &amp; Dragons: Krynn Series</span> - featuring Champions of Krynn, Death Knights of Krynn, The Dark Queen of Krynn - a trilogy of famous Dragonlance stories, based on the incredibly successful Forgotten Realms video-game formula.

<span class="bold">--Dungeons &amp; Dragons: Dark Sun Series</span> - featuring Shattered Lands, Wake of the Ravager - a pair of titles set in the post-apocalyptic take on D&D - a world where magic is banished and water is as scarce as hope.


Traverse, and become lost once more in, the incredible digital worlds of Dungeons & Dragons - once again resurrected from video game limbo and delivered straight to your modern computer. Hassle free, DRM-free, on GOG.com!

equivalential: WELL YOU GOT THEM ALL.
Not quite:

[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthright:_The_Gorgon's_Alliance]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthright:_The_Gorgon's_Alliance[/url]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_%26_Magic (this one is Interplay not SSI though)

Also, not D&D but used the Gold Box engine/gameplay:
[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Rogers:_Countdown_to_Doomsday]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Rogers:_Countdown_to_Doomsday[/url]
[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Rogers:_Matrix_Cubed]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Rogers:_Matrix_Cubed[/url]

Then of course there was a bunch of pretty bad D&D games I don't know if anyone cares about, like Dragon Strike (dragon flying simulation), Shadow Sorcerer, Dragon Dice and of course the infamous Descent to Undermountain.

Oh and finally the "Silver Box" games which were meant to be "arcade action" equivalents to the Gold Box (*shiver*)... yeah don't play these.

There were also two console-exclusive D&D games made by Westwood, but I haven't played them so I can't vouch for their quality (or lack thereof):

EDIT: Oh and this too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_Empires
Never heard of it so can't comment.

Elmofongo: So do we got all the D&D SSI Gold Box games or are we still missing any?

There's still the Buck Rogers games, Countdown to Doomsday and [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Rogers:_Matrix_Cubed]Matrix Cubed[/url] as well as [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelljammer:_Pirates_of_Realmspace]Spelljammer: Pirates of Realmspace[/url].

Oh and there was also Neverwinter Nights from 1991, but that was MMORPG and long since defunct, so it won't be coming for obvious reasons. ;-p

Petrell:
I guess, for completeness, you'd really want the Ubi Soft Pool of Radiance re-boot that was notorious for formatting HDs on uninstall, it's much more Infinity Engine era than Gold Box era but, still, it has 'Pool of Radiance' in the title...

Elmofongo: @Petrell

Or GOG can make servers for Neverwinte Nights 1991 and run them on GOG Galaxy.

SirPrimalform: Ah yes, they can add Galaxy integration with that source code that they definitely have!
I'm sensing cynical sarcasm in that statement.

Mind elaborating?

darthspudius: I don't know if I'd have the patience to play these again.

Vitek: There is only way to find out. ;-)
You buy it for me and we can find out. :P

JMich: Be aware that the Dark Sun games have a lot of bugs. See attached.
That was funny... (to clarify for those afraid to click links, these bugs are insects supposed to be in the game, not code flaws).

Great job GoG! You keep surprising me this year!
Posted October 27, 2015
Like Simon Pegg might say: "Sneaky Monkey"... Wow...I've wanted to play (officially, legally) the Krynn series for years, and kept holding out hope you (GOG) might be able to pick them up. But, in the back of my mind I really didn't think it would ever happen. Shows what I know. Well done, and Thanks.
Crafted my adult gaming memories... !

Can't be done. I recently bought Falcon Collection, Pajama Sam Vol 2 and Rites of War.

Wallet must recover a bit.

I'm still holding out hope for The Gorgon's Alliance. Even better would be a remake! I'll get right on that.
Posted October 27, 2015
Excellent releases once again.

Unfortunately I have been a bit too spendy lately and have also barely gotten started with all the Forgotten Realms ones, so I'll probably have to give these a pass for now. I'll be sure to grab them at a later date, of course.
