AD&D Gold Box games

Does anyone remember the good old days of the Gold Box series of AD&D games by SSI? The screenshots below must look nostalgic then.

The Gold Box series follows a model for computer role-playing games that was set by the Wizardry series. You see a simple 3D shot of the city/dungeon as you walk around, and a summary screen showing the names and hitpoints of your characters.

The deviation from Wizardry is in combat. Here, the Gold Box series allows you to mimic role-playing games that use miniatures. You get to move your characters around on a 2D combat map, directing who they fight and where they place their area-effect spells.

This is a series of games that brings back old memories of hours spent in front of the computer, getting from place to place, fighting scores of monsters and trying to complete the games.

Just for the record, I have played ALL the games in this series (including the Buck Rogers and Spelljammer ones). Yes, I am a big fan of AD&D, and played the Gold Box series because they were the first to appear for the PC. And with DOSBox, I get to relive those memories...
