The Dark Queen of Krynn

1992

Role-Playing

To play The Dark Queen of Krynn, the player generates a party of six characters. The gameplay basics are identical to all games in the series. Characters can also be transferred from Death Knights of Krynn. The game was more combat heavy than the previous releases in the series and there was less time spent in exploration mode. [...] Graphics were improved, as the PC and Macintosh version of the game could now display 256 colors. The Amiga version still uses 16 colors. (wikipedia.org)

The 11th Gold Box game, and the final one I played. I think this is the best game in the series by a narrow margin; Pool of Radiance is better paced and has mercifully few random encounters, but DQoK has greater enemy variety, more complex area design, and a wider range of useful spells. And while it does have areas with unlimited random encounters, they're not nearly as annoying as in Pools of Darkness. I also think it's the best written Gold Box game, but that doesn't mean all that much.
