Pool of Radiance Pool of Radiance enjoys an almost legendary status with those familiar with the name. Among the right audience, it will still be brought up with the same reverence that NES owners talk about Super Mario Bros 3 or arcade fanatics mention Street Fighter II. It wasn't just another RPG or a good RPG, it was the RPG that defined the late 80s and the first successful implementation of the D&D license on computers. Its engine (the “Gold Box” engine) spawned fourteen games in total, including auspicious titles like Champions of Krynn and the original Neverwinter Nights. Pool of Radiance itself was released in some form on half a dozen platforms. A decade later, it was mentioned by name as being one of the direct inspirations for Baldur's Gate. Very few titles have ever reached this level of proliferation and long lasting influence.
