Game Groups > Gold Box series

The lion's share of games (so named due to their initial distinctive golden packaging, and later due to a shared engine) published by SSI under an exclusive 1987 licensing deal with TSR ran under a distinctive engine first utilised in 1988's Pool of Radiance and extensively thereafter through 1993. Barring two Buck Rogers XXVC games also part of the TSR licensing, the rest of the Gold Box games took place in the AD&D Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms campaign settings (including the entirety of the initial Pool of Radiance and Savage Frontier series).
