Out of the 3 SSI D&D games, the first one (Champions of Krynn) was the 
best of out the 3.  It's is fast and easy to navigate/command. (keyboard
OR mouse)

Pool of Radiance:  Better sound than the other two but sloooow with a lot
of encounters that usually consists of more than 20 level 1 creatures 
at each encounter.  Due to the game speed, it takes more than 20 minutes just
to go through 1 round.  Graphics sucks. Game navigation:  uses both mouse
AND keyboard which is a pain.

Curse of the Azure bond:  sound is like Champion, graphics a little better,
game navigation:  uses mouse and keyboard-pain.  

And guess what--SSI used a different company to do each conversion!  
They should've used US GOLD (I think that's the group that did Champions.)
