Description
In 1988 Strategic Simulations Incorporated (SSI) released “Pool of Radiance”, an AD&D role playing adventure game, This began a series of similar games that ended in 1994 with “Dark Sun: Wake of the Ravager”
My new keyboard didn't have a 10-key keypad and I wanted to go back and play some of the old SSI "Goldbox" games. These older games used the keypad for movement during combat. So, rather than buying a seperate 10-key, I decided to make my own, decorated in 4-color CGA graphics that matches the 1998 "Pool of Radiance" game.
For those of you GenX'ers who had a crappy PC in the late 1990's, you will get this.
The files are published here with 3MF files with all the color modifiers and the blank STL files for your own designs (I need to flesh out the page a bit yet):
Any key switches should work with this and I used a USB Encoder, this one here:
