Unlimited Adventures IBM PC 1993
MicroMagic released Unlimited Adventures for IBM PC MS-DOS 3.3 in March of 1993. As its name suggests, Unlimited Adventures allows players to build their own AD&D adventure modules via Gold Box data and art assets, but it also includes one pre-built adventure: The Heirs to Skull Crag.
Unlimited Adventures was programmed by David Blake, Jason Linhart and Bill Sloan.
The origin of Unlimited Adventures is SSI's Pool of Radiance of 1988. In addition, Unlimited Adventures is one of the spritual predecessors to BioWare's Neverwinter Nights of 2002.
