Pool of Radiance... sounds like one of the original-style D&D games that... SSI made, IIRC.
Dusting off old memories, that was back in the day of turn-based grid-movement games. Fine if you're an old-time gamer who appreciates good story lines ('cause they generally had that back then), but if you're into eye-candy... well, it may not satisfy all that much.
User interface shouldn't be too clunky... probably keyboard-heavy with mouse options. You'll adapt to it within a short while.
You may also need a machine to play it on... double-check the requirements. I'm not sure that it will have a ghost of a chance running on a Vista or Win7 machine. An old Win98 box would be ideal...
