Dragon Mountain we actually played, but it was highly modified. It's actually a poor adventure that railroads you into the mountain and then provides the DM with a number of huge maps that are utterly vacant and uninspired in design. Far worse than even the Undermountain box sets, of which the first isn't too bad.One of the HHQ class challenge adventure is famously good, but I think it was Thief's Challenge II, not I. So much of the other material was considered by customers as setting specific and offered little more than setting really. This was the advent of the non-game adventure, synposes are of what the PCs WILL do, and Act/Scene illusionism is dabbled in.By contrast warbringer's 1984 is far better and even that was a time of transitioning for adventures in the hobby. The DLs were insanely popular, but completely unlike an adventure you'd play as a game. B6, UK3, snf WG5 are all standouts, but there are many good ones there. ...Also UK2 & B7 rock too, from Echohawks expanded list."The Jade Hare" is one of the worst adventures published by TSR, but was famous in the 90s as being exceptionally rare and one of the collectors' holy grails. I'm guessing it still auctions for between $500-1000. It's 5-6 bland rooms of a cave missing it's wizard IIRC. The other two uniques Echohawk mentions I don't know of. Zardnaar's right. The best adventure material in the 2e/1990s era was in Dungeon magazine. But there's some decent setting material from then <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
