Remember the classic old Dungeons & Dragons RPGs that we would play on our Amigas, Atari STs and DOS PCs, like Curse of the Azure Bonds, Champions of Krynn and the beloved Eye of the Beholder games? Well they’re now available on Steam in a number of different collections, and for the real D&D aficionado there’s an epic bundle featuring them all.
The Gold Box Series were originally launched in 1988 and over time their popularity spread among fans of D&D and newcomers alike. Whether it was the worlds of Dragonlance, the brutal realm of Dark Sun or the vampire filled chaos of Ravenloft, there was something that encouraged all to grab their sword and spellbooks and begin the adventure.
