    Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI) PC Floppy Disk Image Collection

    One of my DOSBox Staging comrades brought this nice collection to my attention just now. It's a work in progress, but I very much appreciate the effort of the guys to archive all floppy SSI games in all released formats for preservation purposes. They even have flux-level dumps for some, which...

  3. AD&D Pools of Darkness: What do you find appealing about it?

    I've been playing through the original Advanced Dungeons & Dragons gold box games. I started with Pool of Radiance, transferred my party to Curse of the Azure Bonds, then to Secret of the Silver Blades and finally to Pools of Darkness. Even with how dated the games are, I have enjoyed the...

    Classic SSI RPG rereleases by Forthright Entertainment

    I am basing this off of looking at the gaming company I am working with for release of a novella I will be publishing soon. They have the rights to Phantasie, Questron, and Wizard's Crown/Eternal Dagger. Why would they go through the trouble to get the rights? My best guess is that the company...

    Gold Box The Dragonlance/Krynn series thread

    I'm making this thread because I believe talking about all 12 Gold Box games in a single megathread is disgusting, so this place would be about the Krynn series in particular. If you decide to move this post to that ghetto anyway, at least be consistent and also merge all discussions about...

    What is the most UNDERrated RPG on the codex?

    Following Rusty thread about the most overrated RPG on CODEX https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/what-is-the-most-overrated-crpg-on-the-codex.141083/ I wanna ask which one is the most UNDERrated RPG on the codex? My opinion? I already said in other thread. Dark Sun : Wake of the Ravager is the...

    Dark Sun : Wake of the Ravager is underrated.

    Most people here praise the first game, but the second game is often ignored. And is not only because I prefer mid/higher level. I liked much more the story, encounter design, psionics, spells, graphics, quests and ambiance. You have some memorable NPC's on the Wake of the Ravager like Matthias...

    Dark Sun Shattered Lands. Party setup

    So, I'm going to start Dark Sun SL and after reading the manual I'll go with a party set like this: Jaguar- (Mul Thief/fighter) psi meta This Mul's portrait looks like a tanned Nosferatu. But his stat bonuses are neat for a dexterous melee fighter. The another option was to go full gladi on...

    Thirty Year Anniversary: Pool of Radiance

    In June of 1988, was released one of the most important and influential computer role-playing games in the history of the hobby, SSI's Pool of Radiance. While Wizardry had given us unparalleled maze-like dungeon design, and Might & Magic delivered breathtaking overworld exploration, it was Pool...

    Gold Box SSI's Gold Box Series Thread

    I went back and started playing "Gateway to the Savange Frontier" by SSI over the weekend. Of all the gold box games, i think this one and its sequel are the ones I have not played. As I was playing I was thinking of what the games strengths and weaknesses are. Some weakness; I think one...
