Baldur’s Gate Arrives on a Single DVD

Black Isle has released Baldur's Gate on a single DVD, ending the five-disc swap. The AD&D RPG has sold close to 700,000 copies worldwide.

Black Isle Studios, Interplay’s RPG division, has released Baldur’s Gate on DVD. The BioWare-developed game previously sprawled across five PC CD-ROMs, and the single-disc version kills the disk swapping between areas for more seamless adventuring.

Baldur’s Gate has sold close to 700,000 copies worldwide, breaking every sales record in Interplay’s 15-year history. The game is set in the Sword Coast region of the Forgotten Realms, the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting licensed from TSR: murders and economic trouble grip the city of Baldur’s Gate, suspicion falls on the neighboring nation of Amn, and your character and a party of adventurers get pulled into the middle of a brewing war to unravel the mystery.

If you have a DVD-ROM drive and still have not played this one, there goes your last excuse.
