Spelljammer[edit]

Spelljammer wasn't exactly a Goldbox game... -- Nils Jeppe 20:16, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

True, but the turn-based crew member combat engine was essentially the same as the Gold Box combat engine, so I felt the game warranted a mention in this article. --Muchness 20:46, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

New category?[edit]

Gold Box Games - What do you think? -G3, 21:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Silver Edition[edit]

Should mention be made in this article of the Forgotten Realms Archives edition of these games released in mid-late 1990s? Especially the Silver Edition which I believe had the complete gold box series in its collection.

Also while looking around I found this [Gamespy page] which has a very useful list of SSI titles (gold box and otherwise). Would it be worth mentioning that SSI is now owned by UbiSoft?

Missing games[edit]

There are a few (actually quite a few, now that I checked that link below) missing gold box games, Gateway to the Savage Frontier, and Treasures of the Savage frontier, to name two (that I thought were the only two) but also the Krynn gold box games. The snare (talk) 06:39, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Really? I thought everything was mentioned, at least in the template. 129.33.19.254 (talk) 15:30, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Categories[edit]

Am wondering if these games should be added to Category:Video games with oblique graphics or not. They use first-person graphics sometimes, too. SharkD Talk 18:12, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pool of Radiance for the Atari ST[edit]

Take a look at this old SSI catalog: https://archive.org/details/ssi-game-catalog-1989-1990/page/13/mode/2up

This contradicts the statement in the article that Curse of Azure Bond was the only title ported to the platform for the Atari. K00la1dx (talk) 21:01, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
