Ahh.. the goldbox games. I remember reading a review of Pool of Radiance in Commodore User and thinking THAT’S THE GAME FOR ME!
It was. Oh man, how it was! But it wasn’t easy getting the game since I was (am) living in Sweden. At least once a week since reading the review I went to the local games store and asked for it. It took months and months before i could lay my hands on a copy for my old trusty c64.
After playing Pool on my 64 and then Champions of Krynn (and all the rest) on my Amiga i was left wanting for more.. and have been ever since. Sure, there’ve been a few other gems in the years since, MOM in particular, but nothing’s ever come close to the feeling of playing the latest Gold Box game.
I salute you for doing this and from the bottom of my heart: THANK YOU for bringing back hope to this CRPG-junkie. 🙂
