Eight [[video game]]s are set in the Dragonlance world. They belong to six different [[Video game genre|genres]] and were released within five years, from 1988 to 1992.

''DL01 - Dragons of Despair'' and ''DL02 - Dragons of Flame'' (corresponding to the events in the first novel, ''Dragons of Autumn Twilight'') were adapted into the video games ''[[Heroes of the Lance]]'' and ''[[Dragons of Flame (video game)|Dragons of Flame]]'', respectively. Instead of being role-playing video games, they are [[platform game]]s using the Silver Box [[game engine]]. ''DL03 - Dragons of Hope'' and ''DL04 - Dragons of Desolation'' (corresponding to the events between the first and the second novel) were adapted into the video game ''[[Shadow Sorcerer]]''. Released in 1991, this early [[real-time strategy]] game is a direct sequel to the first two games and a prequel to ''War of the Lance'' (1989). ''DL11 - Dragons of Glory'' is a self-contained tabletop strategy game (corresponding to the events in the background of the third novel, ''Dragons of Spring Dawning'') that was adapted into the [[turn-based strategy]] game ''[[War of the Lance]]''.

''[[DragonStrike (video game)|DragonStrike]]'' is a 1990 [[combat flight simulation game]] whose plot begins halfway through the previous video game. The 1992 NES remake is a [[Shoot 'em up|scrolling shooter]] that features an ending different from the one in the novels, but following and fixing a "bad ending" from ''DL14 - Dragons of Triumph''. Neither game is based directly on any tabletop module. The Gold Box trilogy (''[[Champions of Krynn]]'', ''[[Death Knights of Krynn]]'', and ''[[The Dark Queen of Krynn]]'') are the only [[role-playing video game]]s based on Dragonlance. They tell an original story that begins shortly after the events in the 14 tabletop modules.

Apart from those, the [[MUSH]] game ''DragonLance'' is based on Krynn during the final stage of the [[War of the Lance]].<ref>{{cite book | last1 = Maloni | first1 = Kelly | last2 = Baker | first2 = Derek | last3 = Wice | first3 = Nathaniel | year = 1994 | title = Net Games | publisher = [[Random House]] / Michael Wolff & Company, Inc. | isbn = 0-679-75592-6 | page = [https://archive.org/details/netgamesyourguid00malo/page/107 107] | url-access = registration | url = https://archive.org/details/netgamesyourguid00malo/page/107}}</ref>
