A lot of folks seem to idolize Baldur's Gate 1&2 and to a lesser extent NWN1&2, but those games would likely never have happened with the success of the Gold Box Games.
Pool of Radiance, Azure Bonds, Silent Blades, Pool of Darkness, Savage Frontier, Spelljammer: Pirates of Realmspace.
I just thought these amazing games (and their Dragonlance sister games), deserved to be remembered and appriatated.
And I hope BG3 has some call backs to these games.
