The Forgotten Realms Archives: Collection Three marks the conclusion of the Archives compilation and a change in development from Strategic Simulations Inc. to Dreamforge Intertainment. As SSI’s swan song to the Forgotten Realms universe, these titles celebrate the elements of the AD&D video games that you know and love—vast dungeons and beautiful locations to explore, a wide variety of monsters to slay, quests to complete, adventurers to assemble and worlds to be saved. Includes: Dungeon Hack and Menzoberranzan.

You can also pick up classics like Baldur’s Gate I & II as well as Neverwinter Nights and The Temple of Elemental Evil. You know…if you need a reason to never leave your house again. Now I just need to find time to play these instead of painting those miniatures. Need more hobby time!!
PSA: Don’t fall victim to the “one more turn” syndrome.
