Forum Overview :: Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony :: Re: Gary Gygax was one of the greatest game designers in the world

[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]Probably THE best of our time. I would have loved to have played a computer D&D game based on the 1st Edition. Add THAC0 to it, and I think it's still the best of all of them. ICJ[/quote] Pool of Radiance and the "Gold Box" SSI games were all first edition. Pool of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds were terrific, IMO. Secret of the Silver Blades was an unplayable slogfest. Dunno about Pools of Darkness since I never got very far in it. I can't disagree hard enough about the idea that 3rd edition isn't as good as 1st or 2nd, though. "Cluttered up", MFFE? Well maybe the supposedly slimmed down 4th edition will be more to your tastes.[/quote]
