I would love to do that. Not sure it would be very easy to, given the IP rights etc. But remaking Pool of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds in particular, would be a dream! (and Dark Queen of Krynn)

Good lord. I think I just wet myself, just thinking of that.

COTAB is available on Github by someone who reverese enginineered the original EXE (and it's about 95% done). The source is a mess because it's C# trying to emulate assembler operation calls from the 80s. I worked on some Gold Box game clones and recreations (some eventually turned into what became Dungeon Craft) which was really a modern recreation of Unlimited Adventures.

I've contacted some of the original authors of the Gold Box games, trying to find original code (to release as open source) or purchase/obtain the original IP myself but came to a dead end. SSI got bought out Mindscape then got absorbed by Mattel and finally Ubisoft. My trail ran cold at Ubisoft who had no idea where the original code went.

In 2013 the International Centre for the History of Computer Games (ICHEG) was donated documents, games and source code to Jon-Paul Dyson but I dont' know if that included the gold box game code or not or what's become of it.

Frankly if someone were to make it available or get a project started (or allow me to start one) I would totally be on board.

Pools of Radiance!

Gold Box series remaster please! :)

[Superczar]

+1 for remastered Gold Box Games! Pool of Radiance was my first AD&D RPG on the C64! An absolute classic!

[ironman0413]

So many remasters from my c64 days would be so welcome. I'll list a few...
1. Wizard's Crown (and its sequel, Eternal Dagger)
2. Phantasie series (1, 2, and 3)
3. Legacy of the Ancients
4. Realms of Darkness
5. Shard of Spring (and the sequel, Demon's Winter)
6. SSI Gold Box series (all of them, including Buck Rogers)
7. Dragon Wars
8. Moebius (the one from Origin Systems)
9. Autoduel (also from Origin)
10. Roadwar 2000 (and its sequel, Roadwar Europa)

Dungeon Master series by FTL - Started the first-person-view dungeon game genre and still the best with EotB a close second.

[Resolute]

I would love a remastered AND UPDATED version of all the Gold Box series.

Bring the graphics up to the level of early 2000's for example.

[VoidEngineer]

Remastered Questron/Questron 2/Legacy of the Ancients/Legend of Blacksilver or bust!

[DrMadnar1977]

If you guys got the rights to remake the drtagon lance and forgoten realms gold box games ill throw my money at you in a second.

I love Dark Queen of Krynn. Pools of Darkness was also amazing! It's rather sad that the gold box games have sorta ended up under the radar. They really were pretty great for their time :)

Yeah, I'll definitely reach out to them once we know we have some spare bandwidth. We're pretty busy till at least the start of 2019.

I'd love to see these remastered.

Just played "Pool of Radiance" the last days. Still a Masterpiece! Would really be a dream when you'd announce that you create new Versions of the Gold Box-SSI-RPG's. Any News about that?
