I'm hoping to do better, but so far, no luck.

Just finished Lands of Lore, trying to find a new old school PC RPG to play.

Two old-school dungeon crawlers:

Dungeon Master II is great

Anvil of Dawn is another favorite of mine

Ah I love Dungeon Master II, I think I'm going to try out a newer retro style game called Pillars of Eternity, its just like Baulder's Gate apparently.
Never tried Anvil of Dawn though.

I completed the gold box Krynn trilogy just before LOL, I would really like to complete Eye of the Beholder trilogy.

^have fun with PoE and then play the 2nd one. I've heard good things about both. You should try Divinity Original Sin 2 as well

I don't think I'd have the patience to go through the Gold Box games, but hats off to that!

The "modern old school RPGs" that I'm most interested in trying to complete are Legend of Grimrock and Heroes of a Broken Land.

Legend of Grimrock is excellent. Gold box games, though unappealing to most are actually pretty good if you can get past the obvious age. I also completed the Buck Roger's saga, first one on the genesis and the second one on PC, its the game that got me into Gold Box. I don't think i'll head back to the Gold Box well any time soon though to be honest.

Seconded for POE and Divinity OS.

I've been meaning to play them for years, but somehow never seem to get around to it. Also wanted to play the Eye of the Beholder games. Did start on EOB 1 last year, but I didn't get far. Just looking at screenshots from those games is enough to make me want to give them a second try

There's just something about old DOS RPGs that I really like.

I'm also not sure what's going on with the image above. Apparently you can play a... tiger? Uh, ok, that's cool I guess. I'm not that familiar with D&D.

Finally beat God Hand on Normal difficulty. Still the best beat 'em up ever made. Completely unique. One of the very few games that every gamer needs to try at least once. So of course IGN gave it a **** review when it came out.

Anyway, for those who haven't played it...
