1998 Baldur's Gate🛖Forgotten Realms🛖Original North American Set

Step back into the Forgotten Realms with this authentic 1998 copy of Baldur's Gate 'Forgotten Realms'. Released before the expansion 'Tales of the Sword Coast', this is the standalone classic that defined a genre. It is a PC game for Windows by Bioware (1998) and includes the 160-page game manual and reference card alongside the full set of 5 discs still in the original folder (Black Isle/Interplay, US/Canada version). What's Included: 📀5 Original CD-ROMs (Discs 1–5). 📙Full 160-page Manual including "Volo's Guide to Baldur's Gate." 🟨Original Reference Card. All in Very Good condition Condition Notes: This is the standard 5-disc base game (the 6th slot in the folder was for the later 1999 expansion). Missing: The original fold-out map. (Note: High-resolution scans are free and legally available online, making this a minor issue for players). Discs and folder show wear consistent with age but are fully functional and clean. The manual is in very good condition with completely clean text and remains unmarked, tight bindings, displaying a bumped corner and mild edge wear. Why It's Collectible: This is the game that is widely credited with single-handedly reviving the Western Computer RPG genre, which was considered "dead" by publishers in the late 90s. Its success proved there was still a massive market for deep, story-driven D&D games and launched BioWare's legendary RPG legacy. A great addition to any retro PC collection. Original North American Big Box Edition (1998). Published by Black Isle Studios (USA). Includes 5 Discs and full manual. Compatible with all English PC systems.
