The problem with silver blades was it was too repetitive because it all takes place in one dungeon more or less. Pools of darkness was awesome (well, it had the issues with how D&D works advancement over 20). Pools is way better than secret and very close to being better than Curse. Of course it has a way better interface than Curse as well which is a factor.Out of the gold box games, I've played PoR, Curse, and Secret of the Silver Blades (Secret was way too long). Haven't gotten around to Pools of Darkness yet. I played the Dragonlance ones too and liked them. I remember in Curse at the end temple where I had to rely on my melees because I couldn't rest anywhere and my casters were out of wands
That became my problem fast, once I played the later ones. Having to redo all the memorizing over and over got tedious.
Man, I still remember going back to the game after years and having to read the manual because the arrow keys didn't work in the menus and had to use < and > I think. Talk about emotional trauma lol.
