PoR or ToEE

Planescape Torment or Baldur's Gate right?

ToEE is a great supermodule and as I understand it is a great computer game but it's from 2003. Too bad it wasn't more popular or maybe they would have done a Greyhawk Ruins or Undermountain too

Works on win98, so is considered retro. See neverwinter nights.

Don't respond to tripfags, especially that attention queen.

Ignoring trips only works when they're NOT perfectly content samefagging and responding to themselves.

Shadow over Mystara. I had tons of fun with DS:SL and some of the other gold box games but SoM is the only D&D game I have no issues with on the gameplay front whatsoever.

Pool of Radiance, the first of the Goldbox FR series. I played it when it came out, so I have a nostalgic fondness for it. The whole series was good.

>dnd doesn't count.
Assuming you're talking about the PLATO software, why not? Because it wasn't technically a licensed product?

ToEE, Baldur's gate 1 (unmodded original version only) I really like the Mysteries of Westgate Neverwinter Night 2 expansion/campaign, it's a shame only 5 people played it.

There is an excellent indie D&D game called Knights of the Chalice which uses 3.5 edition OGL rules and had the best enemy AI I've ever encountered in an RPG.

i seriously can't get into the first goldbox games, they have truly aged

Persevere. They are great fun once you get used to the interface.

Baldur's Gate (and 2)
Shattered Lands

I honestly think King of Dragons is better than the "official" licensed D&D arcade games. It is just more fun to play.
