"G​​old Box classics were always heavily relying on manuals, clue books, rule books and journals. Playing these games without them is close to impossible. Unfortunately, not all scans of the originals were in a quality we believe they should be. We kept on improving those, by going through each document one by one and re-scanning some of them (in case we have access to them), re-creating some of them from scratch to ensure they are easy to read, adding table of contents, etc. Hope you'll enjoy it.

Please let us know if such changes are what helps you to get a better experience.

On top of it we've improved a few technical aspects:

  • added cloud saves
  • updated ASE version
  • fixed the option to make "Reset progress" while in the game
  • showing exact error message in case game is not launching
  • made UI improvements
  • improved Gold Box launcher stability"

Nice. I have these already on GoG but it is nice to see they are getting some love on Steam too.

Don't forget https://store.steampowered.com/app/1904610/Dungeons__Dragons_Krynn_Series/

And it's probably just the games in this bundle:

Al-Qadim is not in there.

Added, thanks.

And yeah probably, but it would have been a small thing to do extra for 1 more game.

Despite also being published by SSI, Al-Quadim was developed by a different developer and on a different engine than the shared engine the "Gold Box" games utilized. Al-Quadim- along with other non-Gold Box D&D games of the time period- has thereby seemingly always been handled seperately (for promotions and updates) from Gold Box games for that reason.

Wow i loved those games when i was a kid i still remember them very good, some of them i played on amiga 500+ and some in pc dos (that is how old they are). For me Darksun games are really predecessors to later Baldurs Gate and similiar games.
