We love Good Old Games. We care for them, we give them home, and we do our best to make them last forever. In fact, the classic titles were the main reason to start our platform all those years ago (hence the use of our initial acronym). And our love and passion for them still remains as strong as ever.

That’s why we are incredibly happy to say that 4 great classic games and Silver Box Classics (containing 4 more), all straight from SNEG, are now available on GOG – find them all (alongside their other D&D classics) HERE! And because we are celebrating our Spring Sale, each of today’s releases are on -15% discounts for the duration of Spring Sale (until April 3rd, 10 PM UTC).

Let’s take a look at what amazing adventures we’ll be able to (re)discover!

Spelljammer: Pirates of Realmspace
An adventure RPG with strategy elements that provides swashbuckling excitement and the magic of D&D adventures, but in wildspace! In this gem you’ll captain your own Spelljammer ship, recruit officers and crew to man your magical ship, and soar into the ether and explore the planets of Realmspace.



DeathKeep
A D&D dungeon delving the way you like it - fast, furious and fun! An evil Necromancer has escaped from his icy prison and is wreaking havoc upon the surrounding lands. Journey to this frozen wasteland and destroy the forces of evil - if you dare.



DragonStrike
The first-ever dragon combat simulator! In this title the deadly skies above the Dragonlance game world of Krynn explode before your very eyes. The first-person viewpoint propels you into a fully animated, 3D world of action and excitement. So to the skies brave knight - and victory!



Fantasy Empires
A D&D adventure and the first title to feature a computer Dungeon Master who mediates all elements of the game play. Create alliances, defeat enemy kingdoms and forge an empire in this exciting world. Under the computer Dungeon Master, you’ll interact with fantastic races, command dozens of troop types, send your heroes on quests and construct a variety of buildings and fortifications.



Silver Box Classics
A collection that’ll bring back some great memories. It gathers adaptations of the events in the first four Dragonlance role-playing modules, at the beginning of the War of the Lance – these were the first games that brought the world of D&D to PC gaming:

Heroes of the Lance – D&D epic where we discover the world of Krynn. Control the Companions of the Lance (they aren’t Heroes until they succeed!) in their quest to recover the Disks of Mishakal. Only this can defeat the Queen of Darkness and restore the balance between Good and Evil.

Dragons of Flame – Takhisis, Queen of Darkness, and her Draconian hordes have overrun much of the homeland Krynn, even the elven armies of Qualinost, valiant in their resistance to this evil power, struggle on the edge of defeat. It is only the returning Companions of the Lance that can halt this wave of tyranny before Krynn is consumed by evil.

War of the Lance – That's the first D&D computer wargame. Prepare for fierce battles and all-out war when the forces of Whitestone clash against the evil Highlord Dragonarmies. The prize: absolute rule over all Ansalon on the Dragonlance game world of Krynn.

Shadow Sorcerer – A tie-in with the Dragonlance series of novels. The player controls a party of four adventurers that have just rescued 800 slaves and must shepherd them through the wilderness before the evil Dragon army catches up with them. There are three levels to the game: - strategic, tactical, and political. All three take place in real-time with the evil dragons constantly on the adventurers' heels slowly picking off the escapees.



In addition, by purchasing the new releases, along with Forgotten Realms: The Archives - Collection One, Two and Three, Dungeons & Dragons: Krynn Series, Ravenloft Series and Dark Sun Series, Al-Qadim: The Genie’s Curse, and D&D Stronghold: Kingdom Simulator, you'll receive a special completion offer with a -54% discount!

Time to feel the ultimate wave of nostalgia and relive amazing gaming experiences. Check out the D&D SNEG titles and be sure to make full use of all the Spring Sale goodness (like THIS curated collection of classics). Sale ends on April 3rd, 10 PM UTC.
No manuals or goodies for the Silver Box Classics? Hope they get added at some point.

GOG.com:
The Fantasy Empires and DeathKeep store pages are each missing the requisite mentions of DOSBox (and Fantasy Empires apparently had no other version than the DOS one).

Also, "nostalgy" (used in one of the bullet points on the Spelljammer: Pirates of Reamspace page) isn't really used. (I had to look it up to even find out it was an actual [obscure, archaic] word, as I'd never seen it before in my 43 years as a native English speaker.) The sense that seems to be intended would be better conveyed by "nostalgic" or "nostalgia-inducing" (or an unrelated word, like "classic").

EDIT: Also mentioned separately downthread, but I just noticed that none of these titles has its release date listed on the store page, either. Not that most of these seem to have their exact original release dates known, but year would be nice, at the very least.

Are Hasbro or WotC actually getting any from the sales of these ancient artifacts they probably forgot existed, I wonder?
With their recent revisionist (self-)censoring spree one would think that they do not and under no circumstances want to be associated with their self-proclaimed "controversial" and "problematic" legacy franchises like Dark Sun or Spelljammer.

Seeing that single-tile lighting action going in the Deathkeep trailer got a laugh out of me. How quaint.
I'm so starved for RPGs in FPP that I'll take DeathKeep and might even get Descent to Undermountain if it was available...
Very cool. :) Congrats to GOG and the SNEG folks. (Since these are same-day releases on Steam, I hope the gaming press even bothered to mention these came to GOG too. :p)

Why is Spelljammer $10 alone, but then Silver Box Classics bundle is $10 for 4 games? Is Spelljammer just much more highly desired than the others, and/or has aged better? (The most-voted entries for Sj and Fantasy Empires are around 800 votes, though Sj has a higher total across all its wishes) I recognize licensing isn't cheap and WotC wanted their cut of course. (I'm not interested in these games so the pricing doesn't bother me personally, I'm just curious.)

(btw do we know what "SNEG" means? I assume an acronym? "Super Nice Elderly Games?)

SNEG's Not Exactly GOG?

I accidentally left out Spelljammer when I went to buy all of the games. When I bought Spelljammer, it was only $4.59.
How about releasing games that work? I bought DeathKeep and it does not work on my computer.

Honestly GOG the quality of your Good Old Games has gone downhill and I will no longer sift the internet and tinker to get it running.
