Yes I knew about and got the Dragon Archive CD. Yes I knew about the Core rules CD but passed on it as making characters out of the books was fine for me. Yes I knew about and got the 2.0 CD-Rom for the PHBR and PO and DM books in RTF format which was fantasitc.These days, when people think of AD&D CD-ROMs, they think of the Dragon magazine archive that got WotC into trouble with Kenzer Co. Not many people remember that there was also an AD&D 2E Core Rules CD-ROM which bundled the PHB, DMG, MM, and DMGR3 Arms and Equipment Guide along with several digital tools for character-building, treasure-generating, and other features. Of those who do, even fewer remember that there was a 2.0 release of that CD-ROM which added in the Player's Option series. And of those who remember that, even fewer remember that there was an expansion CD-ROM that added in a whole bunch of the PHBR series. And among those people, even fewer remember that there was a downloadable expansion for the expansion that added The Complete Book of Necromancers.
WAIT! THERE WAS A DOWNLOADABLE EXPANSION FOR COMPLETE BOOK OF NECROMANCERS?!!! I really wish I had known this when the download was available.
I had a roommate with the CBoN and it was a really nice dark magic D&D sourcebook. A highlight of the series.
