Heroes of the Lance is quite possibly the worst D&D game ever made. Even Decent to Undermountain is a better experience to me.

Luckily, there are several great and not great but far better ways to experience the story. Here is how I'd rank them best to worst:

Read Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight

Play the old D&D module DL1: Dragons of Despair with friends

Play DL1: Dragons of Despair in Neverwinter Nights. This requires owning Neverwinter Nights (not the MMO Neverwinter) and downloading the free module from neverwintervault.org

Watch the movie, Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight

Play the NES version of the game (just don't, it's even a little worse than PC).

If you want to play a video game version, the adaptation of DL1 to Neverwinter Nights is a good choice. It isn't the best adventure in NWN by any means, but despite its flaws, I'm enjoying it far more than the awful Heroes of the Lance. It is a bit tedious and cheesy, but at least it's playable. The novel is by far the best choice, however.
