Reception
Power Play gave the collection a "good" rating.[3] AllGame gave the Silver Edition a rating of 3.5 out of 5 and wrote: "Forgotten Realms Archives: Silver Edition is an enjoyable collection overall. Some of the games do contain technical issues as well as the annoying copy protection features. However, there are enough games that do run without a hitch providing users with many, many hours of gameplay".[4]
