10 Essential Dungeons And Dragons Video Games For Hardcore Fans

Beginning with Pool of Radiance and carrying on for another three sequels within its own franchise produced by SSI, as well as spawning three subsequent series, one of which holds another game on this list, the Gold Box games are some of the most influential in D&D. The games were typical text adventures most of the time which switched to an interface with icons when combat began, which characters could move around and cast their spells and make their attacks.

The majority of these games consisted of long dungeon crawls with next to no roleplay, making fans have mixed opinions. The games have also being criticised for having drawn-out combat which becomes repetitive, though for any D&D fans out there who prefer combat-heavy games, and I definitely know a good handful, these games are a fantastic way to pass the time. And time will certainly pass, as there are hours of fun to be had with the Gold Box Games.
