Pool of Radiance for the Commodore 64 is the classic start of the “Gold Box” era, mixing deep AD&D character creation with chunky-but-satisfying tactical battles on a grid as you gather a party, take on contracts, explore deadly ruins, and steadily push back evil forces to restore Phlan, delivering a big, methodical, and rewarding campaign where smart positioning, spell timing, and careful resource management matter as much as raw heroics.
