This game got me into the genre. I would never have thought of trying Neverwinter Nights, Baldurs Gate, or Icewind Dale if it wasn't for this game. I'd definitely love to play it again. Please bring it to GOG

I still own the massive dungeon book that came with the CD-ROM. It has the maps of every floor and foes you'll find along the way. One of my favorite parts of the entire dungeon crawl was the mysterious sibilant voice of a merchant, Preybelish, behind a door on one of the dungeon floors in the dwarven mine. A small slot in the door was used to speak and pass items/gold back and forth from. The room was shrouded in magical darkness so you couldn't see in. Later you have the opportunity to fight the merchant and low and behold it's a dark naga. Even with the guide, that always struck me as the best part of D&D, the plot twist that the person you may be helping is in fact a bad guy. The "deal with the devil" so to speak can sometimes be very rewarding if your willing to pay the price later. Anyways the CD-ROM no longer works on my current system. Please bring this to GOG.com. You already have Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate, Temple of Elemental Evil, Neverwinter Nights 2 and all the older games like Secret of the Silver Blades, Curse of the Azure Bonds and Pool of Radiance. This is the ultimate dungeon crawl successor to those, though Neverwinter Nights 2 is actually the successor to this game being the first ever to implement the 3.5 edition. What I am saying is, I already own all those via GoG.com. All but Pool of Radiance Ruins of Myth Drannor. Help me complete my collection.

I LOVED THIS GAME and LOVED PLAYING IT -- so atmospheric and memorable!!! i can still BARELY get it to work on Xubuntu Linux but not on Windows anymore :( PLEASE MAKE THIS GAME WORK AGAIN!!!
The 5th installment of the Pool of Radiance series. Need I say more? You have the first four with the Forgotten Realms: The Archives Volume 2. Let's add the last chapter.
It was one of my first video games of this genre and I like it very much: good story and graphics, better than some newer games. I really hope I can play it again.

I play p&p RPG since I was 12. Unfortunately in my small town I was one of the two GMs. He was better at describing events I was better at creating stories. After his death I was the only one so the only way for me to become a player and run through other's stories mysteries was to play video games (not counting convents). And Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor was one of the few I didn't play. As you revive old games maybe you would do the same for this one.

Knights of Xentar
Knights of XentarDragon Knight III is an eroge role-playing video game released on many Japanese PCs in 1991. It is part of the Dragon Knight series of games created by Japanese game developer ELF, who originally released the game for the NEC PC-9801 computer in 1991, followed by ports for the Sharp X68000 and PC Engine CD platforms. The game is a sequel of Dragon Knight and Dragon Knight II. Its gameplay system is different from that of previous installments of the Dragon Knight series, resembling this of the early Final Fantasy (even more in the PC version) series instead of first-person-view dungeon crawler, and enabling the player to explore the entire world of the game. Some of the characters were renamed in the English and German localized Knights of Xentar release, including the protagonist Takeru's name changed to Desmond.
