July 18, 2006 - On November 7, 2006, BCI Eclipse will release a complete collection of episodes from the 1983 animated series Dungeons & Dragons. The four-disc set will collect all 27 episodes of the '83 cartoon, and feature a host of bonus materials. The set will be available for the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) of $49.98.

According to the recent press release issued by BCI Eclipse, this DVD set will serve to expand the company's cache of fan-favorite animated titles. "As we continue to build our catalog of classic animated series from the '70s and '80s, the industry is taking note of the success of these titles," said Hayne. "We're fortunate to have this unique opportunity to market 'Dungeons & Dragons' to the same audience that has been enjoying our most recent animated programming."

"Dungeons & Dragons" tells the tale of six kids who, after riding the Dungeons & Dragons rollercoaster, mysteriously get sucked into its fantasy world. Once there, the kids are met with a variety of monsters and entities, but to their delight, they are also greeted by the mysterious Dungeon Master, who gives each of them a magical item to use to defend themselves against the evil beings.

Check out a collection of images culled from online sources from the original broadcast of the series in 1983:
