  Pools of Darkness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pools of Darkness is the fourth in a four-part series of Forgotten Realms Dungeons and Dragons Gold Box adventure computer games, published by Strategic Simulations, Inc..
Travelling through the pools can cause many types of items the characters are holding to be permanently destroyed and lost.
Pools of Darkness differed from its predecessors in a number of ways.

 Vampire: The Masquerade
The darkness obscures light and even sound; most opponents trapped within are completely blind, and even characters with Gleam of Red Eyes or Heightened Senses suffer penalties of three dice to their Pools.
In this form, the vampire may see in pitch darkness, slither through the tiniest of cracks, and is immune to physical harm (although she may not attack physically either).
The darkness emerges from the mouth of the vampire and envelops a chosen target, draining her life force.

 Gold Box - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This was followed by Curse of the Azure Bonds (1989), Secret of the Silver Blades (1990), and Pools of Darkness (1991), the games forming one continuous story rooted in the once-glorious city of Myth Drannor.
Dark Sun was supposed to replace the aging Gold Box engine with its first game, Dark Sun: Shattered Lands in 1992.
In addition, characters from "Pool of Radiance" could be imported into Hillsfar, a game based on an entirely different engine, and then exported into "Curse of the Azure Bonds." The system was improved over time, adding better colors, graphics, more player-class levels, and new story lines.

 Doom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pools of toxic waste are visible on both sides, and a zombified human approaches.
There is a scene in "The Color of Money" where Tom Cruse [sic] shows up at a pool hall with a custom pool cue in a case.
While contributing to the game's visual authenticity by allowing effects such as highlights and shadows, this perhaps most importantly added to the game's atmosphere and even gameplay; the use of darkness as a means of frightening or confusing the player was an unseen element in games.

 Secret of the Silver Blades download @ Game Downloads   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Comprising four games released over four years, Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Secret of the Silver Blades, and Pools of Darkness remain a lot of fun even today as some of the most addictive - albeit maddeningly combat-ridden - RPGs ever created.
Pools of Radiance and Pools of Darkness are my most favorite of the series.
Pool of Radiance because it was a great beginning to a solid RPG system, and Pools of Darkness because it gives you a chance to meet famous NPCs from ADandD world, marvel at the non-linear storyline, and develop your heroes to very high levels.

 Chiaroscuro interview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The musical approach is refreshing in the sense that their music presents a hybrid of symphonic progressive metal such as Dream Theater which is updated with the 90s hard-edged metal/alternative music such as Tool, Korn and God Lives Underwater.
Chiaroscuro was a name that I threw out and which wasn't initially met with a lot of enthusiasm, but after a few go-rounds we went back to our list and went "Hey, this really describes us!" People have a hell of a time pronouncing it, much less remembering it, but we're perversely fond of it.
The order of the songs on "Brilliant Pools of Darkness" seems to me to be historic in the sense that the older songs are the first ones and the songs are newer towards the end of the CD.

As with the other games, Pools of Darkness allowed players to import their characters from previous games.
In order to free the enslaved towns, players had face off not only against the Drow, but against three of their gods in a world-hopping adventure that took you not only through the Underdark, but into the depths of the Abyss as well.
By the release of Dark Queen of Krynn in 1992, though, the Gold Box engine was looking quite tired, and the company was ready to move on to newer engines.

 Review of the game Pools of Darkness
The epic starting with Pool of Radiance, continuing through Curse of the Azure Bonds and Secret of the Silver Blades, finally got a worthy final.
The graphics are majorly improved, as are a few other features we all know and love from the gold box games: now your character name is highlighted when he's ready to level, etc. Also, the story is completely non-linear, very intriguing and challenging.
If you've enjoyed the whole story arc starting at Pool of Radiance, you'll simply LOVE Pools of Darkness - the best of the lot.

 #15 Reviews [Power/Progressive Metal]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Personally I am not keen on 11 minute instrumentals at all, but Aghora's "Jivatma" is one hell of an instrumental feast, starting in dark ambient style and developing into a groovy, jazzy, well-though out improvization.
Complementarily, keyboards and sequencers are used along in a quite original and wise way, achieving its impact and representing an indelible stylistic characteristic and driving force of the album.
A lot of buzz was generated about this album on the internet, but dark power metal presented here doesn't look more extraordinary or better than done by others (for example, Iced Earth or Stigmata IV).
