The Gold Box series was well known at the time for all of the games sharing the same gold boxes, hence the name for the series. The engine that all of the games shared also became known as the gold box engine. Later, games like Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights filled the gap that the Gold Box series left when developer SSI was acquired in 1994. Eventually, the developer became part of Ubisoft, though the SSI name is not used.
