OK, there's a site called Macintosh Garden where you can download a load of Mac games. I saw a pic of the Mac version (I think it's that anyway). It looks like a cross between the C64 and DOS version.

@Doommaster1994 The 3 images on the Macintosh Garden, I believe, are a mashup of 3 different versions. The image of the ogre looks like the C-64, while the blue cover image is from the Nintendo box, & the black+white from the Mac, in all probability. I could be wrong, but that's my best guess.

Yeah, maybe, I'm not sure. Now that I think of it, I think you're right, the Mac version is the monochrome one. I found a pic of the Apple II version and it has color but way worse graphics than the C64 version.

@Doommaster1994 Way back when, I had an Apple IIe. My first time playing an SSI game was Curse of the Azure Bonds. The graphics were very much like the Pool of Radiance Apple II version, except that in battle instead of a plain white background, it was white with black scan lines from left to right. It was really bad for the eyes.

@Doommaster1994 There may have been 2 versions for the Mac, depending on whether you had a high density disk or not. Reading from the back of "The Dark Queen of Krynn" (Mac version), it says System Requirements: Any Macintosh with hard disk drive and color or black-and-white monitor. Color version requires High Density disk drive.

@Doommaster1994 I've played the Apple II version. Those black+white images listed at thehouseofgames were not from the Apple II. The pictures must have been labeled incorrectly.
