Sure would like to see the old D&D Gold Box Games from SSI:

Pool of Radiance
Secret of the Silver Blades
Curse of the Azure Bonds
Pools of Darkness
Dragons of Flame
Death Knights of Krynn
Champions of Krynn
War of the Lance
Yep, I agree. I played some ages ago (mostly FRUA, creating my own adventures). A while back I posted about how might be too old to capture my interest now, but...

I started playing Pool of Radiance recently was hooked. I'd definitely buy a GOG collection of these games.
No love for Buck Rogers? I'm sad now.

Yeah, no Gold Box collection without Unlimited Adventures! Because it would give us at least double the amount of high-quality Gold Box style games to play for free, and with better graphics and GUI. And a bit fresh blood would revitalize the FRUA community, too. :)
where is AL Qadim and Ravenloft?why people always forget about those classics?

That's because they don't belong to the Gold Box series. Not that it wouldn't be cool to see them here, too.
It's not a gold box title, but my favourite SSI D&D game was Dragonstrike... Would love to see that again...

Didn't forget them.. just mentioned a few that I enjoyed.
Of the SSI D and D games, I really enjoyed Dungeon Hack. It was a lot of fun when you just wanted to go into a dungeon and kill something without an involved plotline,and IMHO it is till the best "random dungeon" game every devised. Than god I have the Silver Collection Archieves which has most of the great SSI d and d games,but they should be on GOG for a new generation.
I hope that GOG can find a way to make this happen. Since I know longer have my C64 and a OS9 Mac, I can no longer play my SSI AD&D games.

Where there any space hamsters in the computer version of Spelljammer?

Utterly pointless question, but for some strange reason I suddenly felt the need to know.

I don't recall any.

I do remember piloting a Mindspider though. That game had a lot of bugs/problems, but it was still fun puttering around Realmspace.

The Golden Era of RPG Gaming for me was during the heyday of Pool of Radiance followed by the awesome Curse of the Azure Bonds. I still remember the awesome dials in elvish and dwarven runes used for copy protection, and the best part for me were the Journals, or better said, the Journal System.

After finishing the first game Pool of Radiance having killed Tyranthraxus, I began to read the whole journal again to find out which parts I missed, thats when I realized some of the journal entries were just random lore snippets from the Forgotten Realms world :D

My geek love bar raised that day. Man, I know it's a Nostalgia trip, but after having finished (well, REfinished) a lot of pretty old games, I'm missing these. I still remember the ugly mugs you could create in Pool of Radiance (thanks goodness they removed those in the next sequels) ... Up to this day I still remember fondly walking around in Phlan for random events. Meh, even the PC game itself was the main reason I discovered the whole world was part of an IP that belonged to a tabletop RPG called AD&D back in the day. As a newbie DM, I remember basing my first tentative adventures in the Moonsea Area ... ahhh such geekness. Adding these guys would rock. I remember I had bought them all once in a special CD that contained all Gold Box titles, but sadly I lost that CD (alongside the digital text only manuals) during my constant moving. If I could have them again in digital format I would totally shell out the $$$ for them.

You should be able to run dosbox on OS9. and dosbox runs the games fine
