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&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.

ne_zavarj: Is the character importing feature available in the Gog versions ?
As far as I checked, yes. If you have any problems or something is missing (shouldn't be!) then send me a message.

Ghildrean: A minor thing, but I noticed Pools of Darkness doesn't have a typical GOG icon (a round icon with a cover picture), instead it just have a square GOG logo.
Where do you see this?

Dalthnock: You beautiful motherfucker, give me a goddamn kiss!

No tongue, though. Well, just for a few seconds. Longer than that would be awkward.

Now, you just tell me that the rest of the games - DragonLance, Dark Sun, Buck Rogers, etc. - will get a release & I'll make sure you get a special visit consisting of at least four professional purveyors of exotic pleasures.
Make it three and a milkshake and I might consider looking at Dragonlance.

Kirben: Is there any hope of the lack of music in Pool of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds been fixed? there has been no response so far.

GOG just needs to use an earlier version of each game, to restore the original introduction music.
Tell me all about it via PM?

We're more than happy to get the MIDI music going and all that :)

Skysect: curse_of_the_azure_bonds_adventure_journal and curse_of_the_azure_bonds_clue_book have a website shortcut inside to mocagh.org :S
Yes, I know. They asked us to give a link back to their site whenever we used something of theirs :)

Ghildrean: Pools of Darkness installed through Galaxy still doesn't have the correct icon. I have uploaded a screenshot of the files in the folder.

I have noticed that file "goggame-1432643408.ico" is missing (the normal installer have it but it's totally missing in Galaxy) but I don't know why the uninstaller is a cat instead of the usual orange disk icon.
Fixed, thanks :)

HunchBluntley: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
That cat should instead be on ALL the uninstallers.
It is... within our QA :P
Although I'm thinking about switching it to my plush Cacodemon ;)
