* ''[[Tony La Russa Baseball]]''. Upon its founding in 1988 Stormfront's first project was a baseball title, which over the following eight years was to become the ''Tony La Russa Baseball'' series of games, working closely with baseball manager [[Tony La Russa]]. La Russa remains a member of the company's Board of Directors today. Daglow had previously designed or co-designed a number of baseball games, including ''[[Baseball (Computer Game)|Baseball]]'', ''[[Intellivision World Series Baseball]]'' and ''[[Earl Weaver Baseball]]'', the latter two with programmer [[Eddie Dombrower]]. | * ''[[Tony La Russa Baseball]]''.

* ''[[Neverwinter Nights | * ''[[Neverwinter Nights (AOL game)|Neverwinter Nights]]''. Daglow had worked on game projects with [[Kathi McHugh]] and [[Steve Case]] of [[AOL]] (then called [[Quantum Computer Services]]) since early in AOL's history. Apart from baseball, Stormfront's initial projects were a series of online titles for AOL, including the first original [[play-by-mail game|play-by-email game]], ''[[Quantum Space]]'' ([[1989]]) and later the first graphical [[MMORPG]], the original ''Neverwinter Nights'' ([[1991]]-[[1997]]). ''Neverwinter Nights'' held the all-time record as the top revenue-producing online [[Role-playing game|RPG]] for almost ten years until the success of ''[[Ultima Online]]'' in the late [[1990s]]. [[BioWare]] subsequently purchased the rights to the name, and built a new generation of award-winning multiplayer RPG's set in the Neverwinter universe. | ||
* ''[[Gold Box]]'' [[DD]] Games. In [[1990]] the company began working with [[SSI]] on a series of ''Gold Box'' Dungeons and Dragons RPG games. This led to the company's first #1 hit, ''[[Gateway to the Savage Frontier]]'' (1991), and the first game where an AI character might fall in love with the player (depending on how they reacted to situations in the game), ''[[Treasures of the Savage Frontier]]'' (1992). | * ''[[Gold Box]]'' [[DD]] Games.
