    For those who haven't heard, a bunch of SSI veterans have teamed up again to form TSI, and have a new Turn Based RPG in the works, called Seven Dragon Saga.

    They're probably going to launch a Kickstarter campaign soon. Meanwhile you can view some nice concept art and dev posts on their site. Worth keeping an eye on!

    I played and enjoyed SSI's Dark Sun: Shattered Lands, which was one of the inspirations for that game I link in my sig ;)

    Wow- does this bring back the memories of those glorious Gold Box days! I must have run a dozen different parties thru the Pool of Radiance before buying the hint book and finding out that I'd missed rescuing the princess from Kobald Caverns- which meant that I had to immediately create a new party and go rescue her...:)

    I can safely say that Pool of Radiance (goldbox) is the reason I'm here today. Sokal Keep, Valhingen Graveyard ... good times. They managed to squeeze a lot of fun into those little blotches on the screen. ;)

    SSI was it! I too started my gaming on those very same games.

    I still don't miss having to draw my own map though. ;)

    Oh, and here's a link to their site TSI. I didn't see one in SA's post.

    SSI totally rocked. I still play Steel Panthers. I remember getting my party wiped by a bunch of bunnies in the woods in one of their monochrome games. :p

    I never played the Gold Box games, but Wizard's Crown was so great, I actually dug up an Apple IIgs on eBay so I could play it again.

    Forgive me if this is slightly off topic but I got a reminder from GOG.com that Wasteland 2 will release on the 19th of this month- talk about reviving a classic! (the guys that made it worked on the original Wasteland). I think my PC gaming is about to go into overdrive...:thumbsup:

    Yeah, I've been playing the early release version, (backed it on Kickstarter) and it's pretty true to the original, but with better graphics.

    I wish Wizard's Crown could get a modern day make over- I never finished it and I'd really like to...
