Silver Box Classics

[h1]Such a BLAST from the Past!!![/h1] So to be honest, I don't know how many will feel about how '[b]War of the Lance[/b]' aged. Personally, I was elated when I seen the 'Silver Box' games on Steam today and bought it with no hesitation. Straight nostalgia hit to the dome. I'll keep this short.... I've read all the Dragonlance novels (the first two dozen or so, I won't lie) I've played countless hours of War of the Lance back-in-the-day and even though there is no need for the "word check" with this PC version, you can just hit enter and bypass it but I am going to upload the game manual here so anyone (like me) whom wants to relive this amazing game for its time, has the reference guide to know some of the game mechanics that you will not be told while playing the game itself. Remember folks, this is back from the 80/90s where there were no in-game tutorials nor extensive help. You either had the game manual that came in the box of the physical hard copy or you had to figure it out! ...

It's good to have the good old games to be played today. Hero Of The Lance was my first AD&D PC game that I played in the late 80s via 5".4 inch floppy discs on a AT-286 machine.

Series of old-school AD&D Second Edition games. Decent for its time, and not a bad nostalgia run.

I've been playing War of the Lance since I had it on my Apple IIe when it came out in 89, and I love it. It's complex, difficult, and fun.

This is my favorite game from childhood. It is challenging and very intricate. You can try many differemt strategies to win but it eventually comes to needing lots of Dwarves, Griffons, and Units that can attack Neraka.

HUGE DragonLance fan here but for me this bundle is a swing & a miss. if you do choose to play these games read the manuals first. the game is what you expect of a retro computer game, the story is DragonLance (so its what any fan would enjoy). I prefer games more like the Krynn Series or Pool of Radiance from Gold Box, this bundle is far from those style of game play.

Old school as heck, but a lot of fun if you like Prince of Persia (the original) style gameplay and also are a big fan of the original Dragonlace books/modules.

[h3][b]Silver Box Classics: A Nostalgic Journey Through Krynn[/b][/h3] The [i]Silver Box Classics[/i] on Steam is a collection of early Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) adaptations from the late 1980s and early 1990s, centered around the iconic [i]Dragonlance[/i] campaign setting. These games bring together four titles that adapt key events from the [i]Dragonlance Chronicles[/i] novels, offering a mix of action, strategy, and hybrid gameplay. While not as celebrated as the [i]Gold Box[/i] games, they remain an interesting part of gaming history for fans of retro RPGs and D&D. This collection includes the following titles, presented via the same launcher as the [i]Gold Box[/i] games and other SSI classics on Steam: [olist] [*][b]Heroes of the Lance[/b] [*][b]Dragons of Flame[/b] [*][b]War of the Lance[/b] [*][b]Shadow Sorcerer[/b] [/olist] [hr][/hr] [h3][b]Historical Context[/b][/h3] These games were ambitious adaptations of the [i]Dragonlance[/i] saga, developed during the formative years...

Everyone should have something like this. You know to chagrin yourself with the realization that you dont remember how to play the old computer games. However its awesome! irk your brain and enjoy the pdf books. I think i like the supplemental materials and artwork best of all. I may never complete any of the games without some cheat codes or something. Any suggestions there? I didnt even know there were this many Old D&D games. Glad to have them!
