Overview:

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Gateway to the Savage Frontier for the Commodore 64 is the first game released in Savage Frontier story cycle, and the seventh title in the venerable "Gold Box" series of Dungeons & Dragons computer role playing games. It is the first of the Gold Box games not to be developed internally at Strategic Simulations, Inc., rather Beyond Software, Inc. (though many sources incorrectly report Stormfront Studios). It was released in 1991. Unfortunately the sequel, Treasures of the Savage Frontier, was never released on Commodore 64, so a save transfer is not possible.

While still set in the Forgotten Realms (Dungeons & Dragons world from the main-line Gold Box games), the location is far to the west and of Pool of Radiance. The player controls a party of characters fresh in the city of Yartar, who settle into for a night of revelry, only to awaken the next day robbed of their money and nearly all their belongings. All that's left to do is to track down the thieves and get back their stolen goods, but of course, such tasks can never be that easy.
