Patches for old Gold Box games

[KirbenParticipant]

Any chance you still have patches for any of the old Gold Box series of Games? each game went through several versions, but it seems impossible find patches for those old games now.

I have only been able to find a single patch for the Dark Queen of Krynn at Patch Scrolls.

Which platform?

[KirbenParticipant]

I’m looking for any patches for MS-DOS versions, but would be interested to hear of patches for other platforms too.

It sounds like patches might have been distributed via Compuserve and other similar services in distant past, judging by text file included with the Dark Queen of Krynn patch.

I’ll have to look through my collection, but I am not sure what I have. I assumed you meant DOS, but had to make sure.

Any chance some of the games are fully patched on Abandonware’s site?

The Gamefest CD collection, and Wizworks CD collection offer the latest versions of each game, but the latest versions actually have disadvantages in some cases. Specifically the introduction music was broken in the latest versions of Pool of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds.

I’m hoping patches will provide information on exactly what was changed between the various versions of each game, or help track down those changes. Each game offered several different versions, I’m compiling a list at http://ua.reonis.com/index.php?topic=3065.0
