4.0 out of 5 stars Incredible RPG foundation games, October 11, 2007

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Collectors Edition (CD-ROM)

Im a 32 year old CRPG gamer. I've played em all, and MMORPG's too, everything from World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings Online, All the Infinity Engine (Baldurs Gate/Icewind series), Temple of Elem Evil, to NWN 1 and 2.

These games were the foundation for everything that came after them, and they're still incredibly fun to play. One of the only RPGs to use the original 1st edition rules set from Dungeons and Dragons.

But I think you can get all of these for like 4 bucks off of a shareware site, just search for it in your search engine. I believe I got them for 4 dollars for unlimited shareware downloads.

You can also get the toolset for the Goldbox games, and create your own adventures using the original engine. Thats pretty neat!

This review is from: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Collectors Edition (CD-ROM)

This is the absolute best package if you are looking for nostalgic RPG gaming. SSI set the standard for RPG video games. If you have played one or any of them in the past and enjoyed them, you will enjoy playing them again. If you want to know what the first games were like that began RPG games this is a must buy and play. Be cautioned that you must be familiar or be prepared to familiarize yourself with a "DOS emulator" if you do not have a very old PC (486 or older required). I used DOSBox and received all the technical support and help needed from a community dedicated to vintage gaming.

Find this, Buy this, Play this. You will not be disappointed.
CAUTION: If you are younger and do not remember this game when it came out you may be disappointed because of the obvious lack of graphic quality. This is a vintage game and graphics/sound is limited. The draw to the game is history, nostalgia, and the story of the game series.

Have fun! And good luck getting you hands on it and getting it to play.
