Thank you for the kind nomination! I have yet to play a goldbox game and now, I can hit one up very soon!

Thank you BenKii for the nomination, mrkgnao for the game, Moonshineshadow for the administration and IAmSantastar for the beginnings!

Also, as a thank you to the community, get my novel The Darkest Wand for free for a few days. DRM-free. (this is the same version that was on Groupees)


I somehow missed all of that. Thank you!

One caveat: Ravenloft is not a gold box game.

The gold box games are:
The Pool of Radiance Forgotten Realms series (developed internally at SSI):
>>> Pool of Radiance (1988)
>>> Curse of the Azure Bonds (1989)
>>> Secret of the Silver Blades (1990)
>>> Pools of Darkness (1991)
>>> Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures (1993)

The Savage Frontier Forgotten Realms series (developed by Stormfront Studios):
>>> Gateway to the Savage Frontier (1991)
>>> Treasures of the Savage Frontier (1992)
[These seven are part of the "Forgotten Realms: The Archives - Collection Two"]

The Dragonlance series (developed internally at SSI):
>>> Champions of Krynn (1990)
>>> Death Knights of Krynn (1991)
>>> The Dark Queen of Krynn (1992)
[These three are the "Dungeons & Dragons: Krynn Series"]

The Buck Rogers series:
>>> Countdown to Doomsday (1990)
>>> Matrix Cubed (1992)
[These two are not yet on GOG]

That's it. Nothing else is a gold box, to the best of my (and Wikipedia's) knowledge.

Of the four series, I'd say the Krynn series is probably the best.
As a single title, "Curse of the Azure Bonds" is probably my favourite.

Lol - ok, I've fiiiiinally stopped slacking and fulfilled my civic duty.

Thanks to Yezemin for the key, and Sinistar/Trent/Moonshine for organizing such a great community event!

Well, I almost played a Goldbox game. :) They all look very similar. I just looked on Amazon and it is indeed in a non-gold-box.

On that note, I visited a Goodwill store and someone had donated all of his 5 1/4" floppies for some computer system I didn't immediately recognize of all of his Goldbox games. I was tempted to get them just for the manuals and box art, but I decided my wife loving me was more important.

Anyhoots, thanks!

Had a very nice surprise this evening in my PM box. Thank you very much for the nomination BenKii. Also thank you moonshineshadow for the giveaway and MasodikTiasma for donating the game. You guys really made my Christmas this year. :D :D :D

In the spirit of BenKii's message I'd like to nominate a few people who I've won a few games from. Did a little searching through my chat history and found 3 people in the past that I can nominate. hummer010 wants Descent: Freespace Battle Pack, Impaler26 wants Police Quest: SWAT 1+2, and PaterAlf wants Star Trek Starfleet Academy. Merry Christmas everyone and to all a goodnight.

I'd like to suggest that damien get Sam & Max Hit the Road!

Thank you mrkgnao for providing the code I just found in my inbox! I really appreciate it. :) I'd also like to thank moonshineshadow for organizing this huge GA and all the other contributors!

My pleasure. I have fond memories of the Krynn series.

Nice to see that generosity is still ongoing. List is refreshed with new codes every day. Good job moonshineshadow and others.
Thanks!

Thank you so very much for this unexpected and very pleasant surprise! I'm not sure what I did to get your good graces shone down upon me, but that was very kind of you. I had never heard of this game before it came here, but I am very excited to see what it is all about. Thank you as well to moonshineshadow for hosting this giveaway and to gnostic for donating this game.

Real life has been rather unforgiving in recent months, thus my absence from the forums, so this was a very nice gesture that I appreciate much more than these few sentences here can convey. Thank you, again, BenKii. Thank you.

You're welcome. :)

I was going through the Gog General Discussion Archives and saw a few posts you made a year ago. You seemed like a deserving member so I nominated you for one of the games on your wishlist.

THANK YOU mrkgnao for donating the Dark Sun games to the THE Community Giveaway! Thanks moonshineshadow for deciding to pass them to me!!! They are now in my possession and I am extremely ecstatic! SO! EXCITED!!!! CAN'T!!! CONTAIN!!!!!!
