Big news from GOG today: they have added three SSI Forgotten Realms Archive box sets to their catalogue:

Eye of the Beholder, Pool of Radiance, Menzoberranzan – the list of groundbreaking RPG classics goes on. We set out on the quest for Forgotten Realms: The Archives a long time ago, and though it was a perilous journey – after years of searching, huge help from our friends at Hasbro and Wizards of The Coast, as well as months of technical work – we get to be freaking excited to sit here and say:

Forgotten Realms: The Archives are available now, DRM-free on GOG.com

And here’s what’s in each archive set:

The Archives are a set of thirteen D&D GoldBox classics packaged across three collections:

—Forgotten Realms: The Archives – Collection One features Eye of the Beholder I, II, and III. It’s the three and only, the gold-standard in classic RPG dungeon crawling.

—Forgotten Realms: The Archives – Collection Two features more gameplay hours and secrets than we could ever count – with Pool of Radiance, Hillsfar, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Gateway to the Savage Frontier, Pools of Darkness, Secret of the Silver Blades, Treasures of the Savage Frontier, and D&D: Unlimited Adventures.

—Forgotten Realms: The Archives – Collection Three features near-infinite replay value and and an important chunk of RPG history with Dungeon Hack and Menzoberranzan.

The first two archive sets retail for $9.99 USD each, and the third goes for $5.99 USD. That comes to $25.97 for the complete set of thirteen games, which isn’t a bad price at all for such a collection of classics. (That said, I’ve got the feeling that these packages will sell like hotcakes during the next DRM-free seasonal sale!)
