Sept. 2024

This is the definition of remaster perfection. They captured all the style and game play of the original and added fantastic quality of life features to make it playable. For example, the game will automatically fill out a map graph for you as you explore each dungeon taking care of all the note taking and tedium that we used to do by hand. That is just one great feature which adds to the quality of life while playing but doesn't change the game from the original. The art and sound is all the same as the original just enhanced. If you loved the originals just get this.

I played these games on my Commodore 64 computer back in the day. Remember back then, how you'd have to use graph paper to make a map of the dungeon or town you were in? Or you had to look up descriptions of things in a book because they couldn't add all the text to the game itself? I remember those days, and I loved them. But, the quality of life added to these three games to make them appeal to modern gamers is a welcome addition to these fine adventure games! If you're old school (or new) and love CRPGs, do yourself a favor and get this trilogy to play again, or for the first time!

10 year old me watched my Dad play The Bard's Tale in the late 80s, I didn't understand the appeal at the time. 44 year old me understands it big time and is loving every minute of it. My Dad passed away in 2015, I'm hoping to finish this trilogy for the both of us.

I remember playing this as a kid, but I never got to finish it as it was a friends and we'd play for hours yet never figure out all of the stuff. Now 54, I got the game again and playing it is an old fond remembrance of when I was a kid again. Love the game!

A beautifully redone classic. I played this when I was a teenager. Now, at 54 years old... reliving this beautiful piece of nostalgia with better graphics, and CHOICES to make when playing ... how close to the original do you want it? You can CHOOSE. I love when games give us choices. So far the game is wonderful. I did have to slightly "cheat" as an adult... as a teenager I solved the game with no help... but, as an adult, my time is more limited. I went from roaming the city to directly going to the castle where I kept dying but was making some decent progress. I knew there were sewers BUT I forgot one critical piece of information given to me early in the game... I had to lookup how to get to the sewers and when I realized where they were I kicked myself... LOL! My fault, not the games. :) BUT, I'm really enjoying the sewars in Bards Tale 1. I can't wait to solve 2 and 3. I may even spin them up again on my Commodore 64 which I still have along with all the originals and play it on original equipment again once I solve it on this modern PC. Kudos to the dev team. Well done. From 1 programmer to another... I applaud how you did this remake.
