Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures (FRUA) + Pool of Radiance remake
Hey guys. This might be old news to some of you, but I recently discovered that there's an active community around the last of the Gold Box games, Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures (FRUA), which is actually an adventure builder.

Turns out, a ton of community content has been produced for it:

The most interesting module in my view is a remake of the first Gold Box game, Pool of Radiance. I've been meaning to try it due to its great reputation, but I keep bouncing off its monochrome walls. The remake without looking super-sexy does look a bit more bearable:

For those of you who are interested, here's the quickstart guide to install FRUA and UAShell (the latter enables playing "hacked" designs which extend FRUA's base functionality):

Then you can get the Pool of Radiance remake from here:

Then you can add on top the pretty fantastic helper and cheat tool Goldbox Companion from here:
