I have been playing D&D games/campaigns for 20 years as pen and paper games, and have played games like the Diablo series and Neverwinter Nights series. I am looking for other cool D&D/Forgotten realms games to play on the computer, either solo or online.

ane help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Please feel free to respond here, or send private message. my ID is Clarissa804.

Thank you. :)

Black Isle and now Atari publish the PC games for the FR and Core D&D.

- Baldur's Gate (1998) & add on: Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast (1999)
- Planescape: Torment (1999)
- Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (2000) & add on: Throne of Bhaal
- Icewind Dale (2000) & add on Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter (2001)
- Icewind Dale II (2002)

- Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (2001) (x-box)

- FR: Demonstone

- Core D&D: The Temple of Elemental Evil

You can now buy a so-called ATARI Collection containing all games above Dark Alliance. These games use AD&D rules though.

Also, there is a MMO for D&D coming out soon. Let's hope it doesn't go the way of Asheron's Call 2, since it's being released by the company that released that.

And if I'm not mistaken, there is a RTS set in Ebberon coming out soon.

Both games are set in Ebberron.
Apparently Ebberron is now the flagship for Computer Games instead of the Realms. Which was a proven market.

gee 2 games vs a zillion? nah, WOTC is just trying to pimp ebberon a little to make sure it maintains a solid play base.

I'm guessing you haven't heard the rumors of NWN 2 and BG 3

from what I understand, NWN 2 is confirmed, at least from the site where the devs are asking for advice from fans. And surprisingly, it's not set in the North or the Sword Coast

And also I heard D&D:O was set in Greyhawk, but I must have heard wrong.

I'll believe it when they actually see the light of day. Considering they have been pushed back/delayed for quite a while now.

Pool of Radiance
Curse of the Azure Bonds
Secret of the Silver Blades

Menzoberanzan -- stand alone game?

Eye of the Beholder (not sure if this series was FR-specific)
Eye of the Beholder 2

anyway, FR has no shortage of games, it's absurd to ***** when another setting gets an occasional game as well. hell it suprises me we've not seeen a dragon lance game

Last time I saw a Dragonlance game was with the old Gold Box games. There were 2 or 3 of them.
Damn I miss those old gold box games. They were Classic. And followed the rules exactly too.

As for the Gold Box series,

Hillsfar
Pool of Radiance
Curse of the Azure Bonds
Secret of the Silver Blades
Pools of Darkness
Gateway to the Savage Frontier
Treasures of the Savage Frontier

And then came more SSI:
Eye of the Beholder
Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon
Eye of the Beholder III: Assault on Myth Dranor

Menzoberranzan

After that we come into the modern era of CRPG with Baldur's Gate, etc.

Non-FR:
Al-Qadim: The Genie's Curse

Champions of Krynn
Death Knights of Krynn
Dark Queen of Krynn

Dark Sun: Shattered Lands
Dark Sun: Wake of the Ravager

Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession
Ravenloft II: Stoneprophet

Dungeon Hack

Did I leave any off the list?

BG1 and BG2 in particular still have a lot of strong support from players and many mods are being made for it; see my sig for details.

Ps:T has probably my favourite story. :)

I found an older copy of Pool of Radiance that we must have bought a few years ago, and never played....I tried to install it on my computer with WinXP, I got a message that the soundcard is not compatible .

On the box it states for Win95, Win98, directX 6.o required.

I did a search for "Temple of Elemental Evil", and found several very bad reviews from customers.

guess I keep looking....

THank you all for your input.
