Actually they were bought by Mindscape in 1994, and have changed hands a number of times since then. But of course SSI doesn't really exist anymore, only the brand.

The sad thing is I got all my old commodore games and their original docs

but the commodore died a long time ago

otherwise I would still occasionally fire it up LOL

Damn that sucks. All of these gold box games that can't be bought anymore are just forgotten. And they were the best D&D games ever made as well. I even own both buck rogers games too, (technically not gold box, but still great). 2nd ED D&D is so much better than 3rd IMO, (for computers, for Pen 'n paper I see 3rd being good though).

And is it only pool of radiance, or all gold box games? The Krynn series was damn good too.

I liked Azure Bonds too..basically all of them with the pool of radiance format.

It's all the gold box games, plus every other game that SSI has published (unless they've sold the rights to someone else).

That's such a shame. I've got all originals of pretty much every SSI D&D game ever made that would have made excellent additions to the RPG secton of this site. Ah well... The real shame is newer generations missing out.

Was the cracking program called "Neverlock"?
And does anybody know of any reasonably good goldbox-clones? I'm thirsting for some Poolrad but am having a heck of a time getting it to run (Athlon/XP). sigh... ditto on Darklands... crud.
Scotty.

I don't know if Neverlock works with Pool of Radiance, but it shouldn't be hard to find one that will.

As to making the Gold Box games and Darklands run in XP...have you tried DOSBox and/or VMDSound? They're both available from this site, and should make both games run without problems. At least I had no problems running them.

Pool of Radience (got it from Underdogs) and other similar games works on Dosbox, quite perfectly too.

Pool of Radiance by Strategic Simulations, Inc. is still sold
Sorry, we can't add it to Abandonia.
