They did release them some time ago. It actually took me a while to find them on GOG website. I know they have them because I bought them a while ago. The reason they don't show up in a title search is because they are bundled together:

Oh! Sweet. I think, if memory serves me right, that would be all of them (that I can remember) then!

Yep, I remember seeing that "Eye of the Beholder" illustration some time ago. Classic. I remember playing it, years and years ago (when dinosaurs still ruled the earth...) and constantly dying. I don't think I even managed to strike back at the monsters. Maybe I was doing something wrong? *shrug*

Now that gives me an idea ... write a song called "Old School D&D" (to the tune of "Old Time Rock 'N Roll"). ;)

Just put a d20 in my hand,
Get me around a table with me band.
We'll go boldly where no-one's gone, you'll see --
playin' that Old School D&D.

Now Neverwinter Nights is easy,
And Dragon Age just makes me queasy.
Better than Pillars of Eternity,
It's jus' that Old School D&D.

... and so on ... *G*

There are a few more:

A third Forgotten Realms collection: https://www.gog.com/en/game/forgotten_r ... tion_three
Ravenloft: https://www.gog.com/en/game/dungeons_dr ... oft_series
Dark Sun: https://www.gog.com/en/game/dungeons_dr ... sun_series
Krynn: https://www.gog.com/en/game/dungeons_dr ... ynn_series

I think that's all of the DOS era games. Man, that's a lot. And GOG doesn't make it easy to find these because of the way they are titled. They also have different publishers/developers so you will miss some if you search that way.

You're right! I thought the Krynn one was in the Silver Box -

But those are other Dragonlance ones.

Ravenloft, I can give or take. Dark Sun, never been a super fan of.

(Ironically, my bi-weekly Sunday game I am in is a Ravenloft game for 5e D&D...)

Heh. I just googled the phrase gog "dungeons & dragons" (with "d&d" in double-quote marks, to make sure I got all of them) and it gave me this:

Did someone say GOG Dungeons & Dragons? ;) There's even this oldie, which I'd never heard of before (and I've seen many).

Al Qadim: The Genie's Curse: https://www.gog.com/en/game/alqadim_the_genies_curse
Temple of Elemental Evil: https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_temple_ ... ental_evil
Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone: https://www.gog.com/en/game/forgotten_r ... emon_stone
Dragonshard: https://www.gog.com/en/game/dungeons_dr ... ragonshard
Planescape: Torment: https://www.gog.com/en/game/planescape_ ... ed_edition

And others, like NWN, Icewind Dale 1 and 2, Baldur's Gate 1, 2 and 3 ... etc. Enjoy :twisted:
