About the game

Dating from 1998, Baldur's Gate for Mac, Win is preserved in the VG90 archive as a catalogue entry — a factual marker of a release that belonged to the leap into 3D.

The years around 1998 belonged to the leap into 3D, when polygons, CD-ROM storage and analogue control were rewriting what games looked and felt like. VG90 groups titles like this one by era and platform so those connections are easy to trace.

Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the leap into 3D produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and polygons, CD-ROM storage and analogue control were rewriting what games looked and felt like. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.

Technical notes

Platform on record: Mac, Win. Release year: 1998. Details are drawn from public catalogue metadata; corrections and additions are welcome through the archive.
