We're casting True Resurrection on Eye of the Beholder and twelve more D&D GoldBox classics.

You are sitting in a tavern. The mighty Wizards of the Coast bestow upon you their greatest treasures: Forgotten Realms: The Archives - long lost relics of an RPG renaissance that changed the face of gaming forever. Today, one of the forgotten grails of gaming history is within your grasp, should you travel to a magical, DRM-free realm known as GOG.com

Eye of the Beholder, Pool of Radiance, Menzoberranzan - the list of groundbreaking RPG classics goes on. We set out on the quest for Forgotten Realms: The Archives a long time ago, and though it was a perilous journey - after years of searching, huge help from our friends at Hasbro and Wizards of The Coast, as well as months of technical work - we get to be freaking excited to sit here and say:
Forgotten Realms: The Archives are available now, DRM-free on GOG.com





The Archives are a set of thirteen D&D GoldBox classics packaged across three collections:
--<span class="bold">Forgotten Realms: The Archives - Collection One</span> features Eye of the Beholder I, II, and III. It's the three and only, the gold-standard in classic RPG dungeon crawling.

--<span class="bold">Forgotten Realms: The Archives - Collection Two</span> features more gameplay hours and secrets than we could ever count - with Pool of Radiance, Hillsfar, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Gateway to the Savage Frontier, Pools of Darkness, Secret of the Silver Blades, Treasures of the Savage Frontier, and D&D: Unlimited Adventures.

--<span class="bold">Forgotten Realms: The Archives - Collection Three</span> features near-infinite replay value and and an important chunk of RPG history with Dungeon Hack and Menzoberranzan.





We are now home to precisely 20 years of digital D&D RPG history - from Pool of Radiance (1988) to Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir (2008). You can also complete your personal collection with all the remaining D&D titles on sale at up to 80% off in our early D&amp;D Weekend Promo! Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights - they're all here, so head straight to the promo page, or read more about it.

Hum !

Feels bad for the wallet, but good to the soul :)

Tried buying all the packs twice now, but no luck (I click "place order", it loads a bit, and then nothing)... oh well. Guess I wasn't supposed to spend the entire next year playing D&D-games...
Posted August 20, 2015
Wow, EPIC releases right there.

I have got Hillsfar, Curse of the Azure Bonds and Bards Tale on numerous and various systems from the 80's and 90's.

Definitely going to get at least the first 2 of these bundles and the 3rd at a later date as never played Dungeon Hack or heard of the other game.

This is what GOG is all about.......Simply Astounding :)

amrit9037: Thank you gog.
Can someone tell me why Forgotten Realm Digital Archives 1 is dated 1991 but digital archives 2 is dated 1988? Did I miss something?
1991 was the release date of the first Eye of the Beholder game :) 1988 was the release date for Pool of Radiance :)

nemesismartyn: Hey Guys!
Nice to see these old games here. Honestly i never played one of this, my childhood RPG gaming experience started with Might and Magic 6. Which of these 3 Bundles would you recommend? Maybe someone familiar with these can sum up the 3 bundles with like 1-2 sentences :)

Best Regards!
Biased (very), but Eye of the Beholder are awesome extraordinary great memories, and I would urge anyone to play it urgently. It's a game from a genre that I don't like a lot, yet it had completely seduced and obsessed me. Great gameplay, great interface, great graphics, a really smooth feel of everything. I never really grasped why some people preferred Dungeon Master (did they really?).

JMich: Ravenloft (and Dark Sun) isn't Forgotten Realms though. Different planes and all.

Venita: Now, now, there's no need to be hasty. :)

JMich: Does the same hold true for Dark Sun?
Yes, but they are on same engine as Menzoberranzan.
Also don't take my comment too seriously, of course i will buy this games someday, just a hint for gog *wink* *wink*
Posted August 20, 2015
Eye of the Beholder at least. That belongs here. So do the other games. Just not sure if I'd ever replay them.
Posted August 20, 2015
Major release! I've never played them but they look quite good, especially for their age!

A bit of a side question: I'm completely uninformed with Dungeons and Dragons, but the Forgotten Realms is the same Plane that Baldur's Gate and most of the other Infinity Engine DnD games are set in, right? Are there any other games set in the same Plane as Planescape: Torment, or others that are completely different than the "This Really Isn't Ye Olde England, We Swear!...Just Don't Look Too Closely Please" Planes?
Posted August 20, 2015
Damn you GOG, just when my wallet is nearly empty... I'll take Menzoberranzan today and get the other 2 packs later... I'm wondering where I'll find the time to finish even one of those rpg's :o)
