Forgotten Realms: The Archives on GOG
 

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

--Forgotten Realms: The Archives - Collection Two 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.

--Forgotten Realms: The Archives - Collection Three features near-infinite replay value and and an important chunk of RPG history with Dungeon Hack and Menzoberranzan.

Awesome! Fantastic post, thanks for the heads-up wolfsrain!

I still have my original Wizworks Forgotten Realms cd wallet from the days of yore.
But seeing GOG with digital versions now is very welcome and convenient indeed. :)

It also serves as a neat reminder that I never did complete Eye of the Beholder III back in the day…I think I'll buy that collection first. :)

Aw, yeah! I've been waiting for these. I was never that crazy about the Eye of the Beholder series, but the second collection looks really good. That's a hell of a lot of great games for £10.

That third collection's just weird. Two lackluster games? Dungeon Hack's ok for the odd jaunt, but Menzoberranzan? I guess they're really counting on the drow/Underdark fetishists flocking to that one.

It looks like the original Neverwinter Nights and Hillsfar are absent from the Forgotten Realms titles released on GOG, maybe they will come later, hopefully along with Dark Sun, Raveloft, and the Dragonlance series such as the Krynn games.

Edit: I am blind, Hillsfar is included just not NWN

They might come later. If they finally managed to get the publishing rights for those, we might seen the whole SSI D&D catalogue on GOG.

Also it looks that there is Linux support for some of the titles included in this first wave.

I have the silver box for all of these. Not sure why they split it into 3 parts on gog. Based on my buggy experience with gog dosbox ports, I'd read other people's experiences first on the gog forums before buying.

Wow, nice!!! So in time we really might see all the classic SSI's at some point on GoG, that is just beyond excellent. AFK to go throw money at GoG simply for being awesome and whatnot!

Hillsfar's in the second collection with the rest of the Pools series. Or at least it's listed as bring a part of it. How much of the original NWN would work now, since it was an online game?

I really hope they release the Dark Sun games. The first one was amazing and should be better remembered than it is today. I never could get the second one to work well enough to get very far.

Dunno when I'll ever get to play them, but bought em all. Thank you GoG, I now owe you a baby or two.

This is just like boxed release of Forgotten Realms: The Archives plus Unlimited Adventures (not a game actually) minus Blood&Magic.

I somehow missed Hillsfar being included. NWN was one I never played, I didn't know it was an online only game, so it probably would not be playable.

Here is the original Forgotten Realms: The Archives retail release in a huge oversized box. :cool:

I've still got that packed away in storage somewhere. :)

Nice. Same version as mine, except they're in a smaller cd wallet. :)

I actually got the two Dark Sun's +Menzo/Strahd's Possession/Stone Prophet/Al-Qadim in the masterpiece SSI collection. That was another classic big box.

GOG - Forgotten Realms: The Archives
 

The Forgotten Realms comes to GOG in three nifty packages, featuring thirteen classic AD&D games, including a bunch from the SSI's Gold Box series.

Spotted by wolfsrain. Thanks!

More information.

Great news!
Will definitely buy and replay Eye of the Beholder once I got some time.

fewer and fewer reasons for abandonware sites to exist… sad actually ;)

I'm missing my beloved Krynn series…

I want Buck Rogers! ;)

I had that one, too. Was that the box that had all the cd's just slipped into slits in the cardboard at an angle, or am I mixing it up with another one?
