The Blog's Purpose

I was a big fan of the Gold Box AD&D games back in the day, I owned all of them, and had completed almost every one, many of them several times. After checking that Dosbox runs them perfectly (much better than running with DOS, which requires fiddling with the computer speed), I decided to begin a playthrough.

Unlike my earlier efforts, the plan now is to complete every series with the same party. (Of course, different series will use slightly different parties.) Previously I played most of these games on a C-64, which didn't get the last game of any series, so I had to play the last games with a party created in that game instead of transferring.

This blog I'm intending to use to chronicle the whole thing. I'll post progress reports, reviews of the games, advice I've found or am finding helpful, and in general anything that comes to mind regarding these games. Comments are welcome.
