    Default Dungeons and Dragons Games

    Hello everyone.
    I have been without internet for a while even on my phone. So as I do in such times. I went for my dnd books and rolled a new character. And found some good quest materials. Soooo. I have a few video games that follow dnd.
    Eye of the beholder snes
    Hero of the lance nes
    Dragonshard pc
    And my favorite...
    Temple of elemental evil for pc
    Its my favorite because it runs dnd 3.5 rules. Which is what I DMed for.

    I really want to expand my dnd video game collection and also get back my lonh lost order of the griffon tg16 game.

    Does anyone have any dnd games they remember? If so please list em. Even if you hated them.

    I have a soft spot in my heart for the original Pools of Radiance. It was ported to the NES and a few classic computer systems.

    Beyond that, the arcade fighters always make for a good time.

    I do hope you've played the Baldur's Gate games. And the Icewind Dale games. And Planescape Torment. Oh, and you've got the Neverwinter Nights games too, which are good, but not as good as the others I listed. And please don't mix the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance games up with the original BG series! Very different games!

    For consoles:

    AD&D: Treasures of Tarmin (intellivision)
    AD&D: Cloudy Mountain (intellivision)
    Hillsfar (NES)
    Dragonstrike (NES) - its a shooter not an RPG though
    AD&D: Warriors of the Eternal Sun ( Genesis) - kind of a D&D Ultima clone, set in Hollow World, I really like it.
    Eye of the Beholder (Sega Cd) - better than the SNES port
    Eye of the Beholder (GBA)
    Slayer (3DO)
    DeathKeep (3DO)
    Iron & Blood (PSOne) - shitty 3D fighter
    Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (PS2) - gauntlet clone
    Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 (ps2) - also a gauntlet clone
    D&D Heroes (Xbox) - yet another gauntlet clone
    Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone (Xbox & Ps2)
    Dungeons & Dragons Tactics (PSP)

    What a coincidence, GOG has their entire D&D catalog for sale this weekend. For less than $25.

    You did make a good point though, until this thread I didn't know it existed.

    For shame. Classic D&D stuff. Very cool for it's time despite many of the things said of it.

    Of all D&D games, my favorite is actually the Sega Genesis game Warriors of the Eternal Sun. From the moment I heard that title screen tune I was drawn in.

    Eternal Sun is actually based on the "Basic" rules of D&D, whereas most games at the time were based on Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. This is actually one reason this one's a favorite--the Basic rules are the ones I'm most familiar with, as they're the easiest to learn ("Advanced" always had pointless complications, which just got worse with the later editions. I don't see how anyone was able to play 3e, 3.5, or 4e).

    The gameplay itself is like the Gold Box games in the overworld segment, but then becomes a sorta-Eye of the Beholder in the dungeons, but in both cases the gameplay is simplified and sped up. The best part is that, despite superficially having a linear narrative, you can actually sequence-break like a boss, and there are tons of hidden dungeons that are completely optional. Better yet, in the best tradition of classic RPGs, you really FEEL how powerful you get as you level up. It's such a rush to see enemies who used to be dangers, suddenly become no problem. And the game actually allows some strategy and clever play, because almost all the spells work... I remember one time I kept getting killed by a Red Dragon, but then I cast a paralysis spell on him... problem solved!

    So yeah, if you ever get a chance, give Warriors of the Eternal Sun a go.

    Pool of Radiance on the NES was ok, but lost too much in the translation from the PC. The same for Bard's Tale.

    I haven't played that game in about 20 years now. I remember not having a favorable opinion at the time. I think I'll check it out again sometime soon.

    I didn't have a PC back then, and took on every game possible. I still like it a lot. I can remember that initial port town theme still after all these years.

    EDIT: Found it here. Actually, some of the other tracks were quite a ride down the nostalgia train tracks.

    Yeah, pretty much whenever an RPG originated on the PC, it's better on the PC.

    The only exceptions that immediately come to mind are Ultima: Exodus, Might and Magic 1, and (arguably) the first three Wizardry games.

    This. BG2 is the pinnacle of RPGs generally and the best D&D game around. Planescape is a very very close second.

    I love that you can talk your way around Planescape, and some part of me says I should like that more because of that, but I have a soft spot for Minsc and Boo.

    Hahaha! I honestly don't know which one of them I like better; Baldur's Gate 2 or Planescape Torment. But they're both on my non existant Top 5 list of best games I've ever played.

    I got a BG2 collection from a thrift store looked cool but never booted it up. I will install today. Thanks for the games lists everyone. This should keep me busy for a bit....DnD wise that is.
