ABSTRACT
One unfortunate trend was a widening gap between the haves and the have-nots of graphics and sound technology. Strategic Simulations, Inc. (SSI) was luckily able to draw upon the rich body of literature tactical studies rules (TSR) had created for its Forgotten Realms universe of tabletop Advanced Dungeons & Dragons games. The first of SSI's Gold Box spinoffs is Champions of Krynn, released in 1990 for Amiga, Apple II, Commodore 64, and of course, DOS. SSI went out all in promoting the new spinoff, going so far as to include a large poster of the cover art in every box. The last of SSI's TSR-licensed fantasy series are the two Savage Frontier games: Gateway to the Savage Frontier and Treasures of the Savage Frontier, both developed externally by Beyond Software, Don Daglow's company that changed its name to Stormfront Studios in 1993.
