Such an approach would require so much time and effort that it would distract from the reality of the experience instead of enhancing it. Of course, most tabletop D&D gamers don't play through their battles instant by instant. Baldur's Gate can be paused to give the player an opportunity to think through each character's actions, allowing for coordinated group attacks and thoroughly believable defensive strategies.
Though diligent in its adherence to the twisting arithmetic that drives the D&D rules, Baldur's Gate allows the player to break down party combat into the smallest possible time units and it simultaneously applies the actions of all characters and monsters in a real-time stream.
Baldur's Gate (1998) and other D&D-based games fashioned on the Infinity engine use a computer-enhanced yet ultimately more accurate method of translating the Dungeons & Dragons combat system to video gaming. It is also appropriate to compare this official Dungeons & Dragons game to contemporary releases, in terms of its mechanics if not its narrative elements. Bad enough you have to stop playing to read the entry from the book, but you have to stop and search for the apparently random correct entry to boot, so that by the time you get back to the game it's like 'may as well take a break now anyway since I already have.' Really killed the immersion level of the entire series.

Really makes the basic copy protection of the game obsolete because it requires the manual to have ANY clue as to what's going on, but really, one room 'you record what he said as journal entry 3' and two steps later 'you record the conversation as journal entry 72' then in the next room 'you record the events as journal entry 54' anyway, you get the hint. The only real complaint I have with the entire gold box collection is the annoying 'journal entry' looking up in the manual thing.

This game is probably single handedly responsible for the success of the 'gold box' series which pretty much set the standard until the mid 90's when pixel based graphics became obsolete for main stream games. Later strategy RPG's such as Baldur's Gate, NWN and even dungeon siege can trace their legacy back to this gem. Astounding graphics for '88 probably helped make it really popular, but was certainly not the only thing. Had this (and eventually the other 'gold box' games) on the C-64 and wore the disks out playing so much. The game that really put strategy RPG on the main stream, the original 'gold box' game by SSI. Not everyone is a techy and that's why they post. Copy the downloaded files from step 1 into c:GamesPORįor former posters start thinking about the audience.

Download the DOS version in the link on this page.ģ. Had DosBox before but just downloaded it and it worked 100% with this (creating characters, saving characters). I gave up and proceeded with the below.ĭOS version on this site: So happy I came across this site). Sure it must have worked with some version but I gave up after 5 hoursĬommodore64 version on this site (.D64 files): This ends up prompting you to insert disk #3 (I couldn't find a way around it). Pisses me off because I owned the original game and my Mom threw out my wheel.

I have a feeling that people are trying to give instruction without realizing what platform the poster was asking about.Ĭommodore64 version on other sites (.D64 files): While this version 'works', and there are a lot of sites out there that give you the code wheel, it doesn't work. Techies are too busy trying to sound smart rather than give proper instruction. I actually played the sequel first as it was a Christmas present in 1989 and it got me hooked on RPGs as well as getting me and others to from an AD&D group in early 1990.
Yes, I played this game originally on a real Apple IIGS as a child. I do not know how the MS-DOS version came, except for the 'Forgotten Realms Silver Edition' compilation that somebody gave me years later so I could play the non-Apple versions, but that was on CD-ROM and the games were copied to the hard drive. MS-DOS managed to get 180K per side, and using a different architecture manged to use both sides simultaneously for 360K per disk. Also it was displayed on a screen with 40 columns and 24 lines of text. Think about how many more disks they would have needed to add all that text. Curse of the Azure bonds had 4 double-sided disks (eight sides). The game itself came on 5 disk sides (2.5 disks). Project 64, a precurser to for Commordore games has made an ASCII text transcription of the journal. The game came on 5.25' disks, and the Apple II 5.25' disks only held 140 KILOBYTES of data per side. To the person complaining about the journal entries, they actually had a reason for that.
