Heroes of the Lance (1988) was SSI's first attempt to turn Advanced Dungeons & Dragons into an action game: based on the Dragons of Despair module and the first Dragonlance novel, it has the eight Heroes of the Lance traverse ruins infested with draconians, with a single character on screen and the rest waiting their turn.
It was a huge commercial success for the company and opened the door to the whole gold-box line of D&D on computers. The Atari ST version earned good reviews; today it feels stiff, but its historical weight is undeniable.
