Very nice, along the same lines have you seen the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition that was released by Beamdog Games? I downloaded it the other day and Beamdog has done an excellent job updating one of the best D&D PC games to ever grace store shelves

Cool that is something worth looking into.

Wow, now that brings back some memories!
This book is where it all began for me. My first thrilling steps into RP back in 1980.
And I still have those books here at home! (this one and the following Expert set bought together back then for about 10 bucks).

I started with the blue book that had a whopping three(!) levels in it. Many, many good memories.

I've been tempted to buy the 'enhanced' game but I still own all the original games. :D

OH MY GOODNESS!
I have to dig out my die (die?) now, and make sure they are all there.
Still have the Basic and Advanced D&D rule books and DM guides... along with the B2 module and the Keep on the Borderlands one. Even a Greyhawk early one, but I cannot recall the exact module that is.
2d10+2 says I can destroy a 7-headed Hydra before any of you can!!

Sadly I lost all my books in a moving incident years ago. Ive collected a few since but not near the collection I had. My most prized possessions were the entire run of Dungeon Magazine and Dragon Magazine starting around 20 or so.
I kinda burned out on it because I was always the Dungeon Master for a long long time.

My friends and I still play but we play 3.5 While 4 has its ups and downs 3.5 is still in my mind the best RPG system ever and also the most fun.
