- Note that the pen and pencil rpg of D&D uses dice to determine weapon damage and the game follows suit. 1d6 means that a weapon does from 1-6 points of damage, 2d4 means from 2-8, and so on. Thac0 means 'to hit armor class 0' and the game uses it to determine how easy it is to hit an opponent, the lower it is, the better.

Pool of Radiance is a role-playing video game developed and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc (SSI) in 1988. It was the first adaptation of TSR's Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) fantasy role-playing game for home computers, becoming the first episode in a four-part series of D&D computer adventure games. The other games in the 'Gold Box' series used the game engine pioneered in Pool.

- Hi Salvatore! Try now.
- Of all the old SSI 'goldbox' D&D clone games, this was probably the best. Note however, that the game makes reference to 'journal entries' that only existed in the paper manual. If you want to understand what's going on in the story, you'll need to download the manual from somewhere.
- I played this game on my Tandy 1000HX computer. It had 640k ram, 1200 baud internal modem, 2 - 3 1/2' floppy drives, external 5 ¼ ' floppy drive and a cm11 monitor with 16 colors. It also had a 9 wire dmp133 dot matrix printer. It ran on dos v2.11 with a program called deskview Tandy's version of windows like interface. When I played the game I would put in the first and second disk and open a program called pool.exe I think it was to play the game and it seemed like 10 minutes before the game started and once it did the fight scenes took forever to get through but, it had good sound and colors. It was a great game at that time.
