Dungeons & Dragons - Consoles

1982: The very first Advanced Dungeons & Dragons licensed game is released on the Intellivision video game console (Atari 2600's competitor)

Fun Fact: This was very first Intellivision game to use more than 4K of memory.

1983: Sequel to AD&D Intellivision game

Fun Fact: This game was a ground breaker in its day, as it was one of first games ever to feature a first-person perspective, giving it a '3D' feel.

Fun Fact #2: An Atari 2600 port of this game was completed, but never got released as Intellivision closed its doors shortly after the video game crash of '83.

1990: A port of the 1988 DOS/Commodore 64 title by the same name

Fun Fact: Sega Master kicked the NES in everything :) See NES's attempt at the port in the entry below.

1991: The first AD&D licensed NES release was also the worst

Fun Fact: This horrid attempt at an RPG on the NES has allowed this title to appear on my 'Worst Game of All Time' and 'Worst NES games ever made' lists. See for yourself just how bad it was in the YouTube video.

1992: NES redeemed themselves with this release, porting over the first of many popular 'gold box' RPG releases of the late 80s

Fun Fact: NES port had very different graphics and interface of the DOS/Commodore classic, and battles had to be simplified to accommodate NES hardware and to make the game easier to play.

1992: Dragon flying action shoot-em-up for the NES

Fun Fact: Shares same name with the DragonStrike PC game, but completely different. The PC version was a first-perspective dragon flight simulator, while the NES was a top-down view action game, which worked well for the NES platform.

1992: RPG game for the TG-16 console, similar in gameplay to the DOS 'Gold Box' AD&D games

Fun Fact: Frank Klepacki (from later Command & Conquer music fame) composed its music, and cites it as the low-point of his career due to difficulties working with the TG-16's sound engine.

1992: D&D licensed game developed by WestWood, the same team that brought the popular Eye of the Beholder to the PC world

1993: NES returns to making absolute rubbish AD&D ports

Fun Fact: Judging by the YouTube video, there is nothing 'fun' about this stinker of a game.

1994: The 1991 PC hit Eye of the Beholder was ported to both SNES and Sega CD

1994: The 1991 PC hit Eye of the Beholder was ported to both SNES and Sega CD

1994: A first-person action RPG set in the AD&D world

1995: Sequel to the 3DO hit, Slayer

1996: Fighting-style game using characters from the Ravenloft series

Fun Fact: Unique at the time was the introduction of cooperative campaign play for two players at once.

1999: Collection of Capcom D&D beat'em up arcade classics

2002

2002: Classic RPG returns in mini format to the Game Boy Advance

Fun Fact: Very dated look'n'feel for a 2002 release gave this a mediocre reception, and the gameplay is very different than the Eye of the Beholder classic, and more similar to the earlier 'Gold Box' RPG games.
