Limit Break Dancing (He/They)
Earlier this month, Steam dropped a pretty sweet deal on the old-school "Gold Box Classics" D&D computer games. Remember those? For $32 you can pick up a bundle of everything...20 games in total, from the most popular AD&D campaign settings: Forgotten Realms, Ravenloft, Dark Sun, and Dragonlance.
Of course I bought them; it works out to less than $2 per game...and I don't have to keep swapping a stack of CDs to play them! These are not "enhanced versions" by any stretch: the graphics are outdated, the game mechanics are outdated, you get the idea. But that's to be expected: these games were published when the computer game industry was just getting started, and when CD-ROM was the latest breakthrough in technology. I expect everything to be very 90s-tastic.
I'm curious how many of us remember these old games, so I put together a poll with every game that you can get in this bundle. Vote for the ones you played, however briefly, back in the day.
