Oh hell yes!

Wow its the games I could only try to play as a kid improved, and made playable with a mouse in the manner of a modern game. This is so fricking amazing, I am so psyched and so grateful that not only did these come back, they came back only changed in ways to really really imrove them, I recomend this to anyone that enjoys dungeon crawlers, you owe it to yourself to buy this and play it, awesome, just awesome.

Excellent version of an excellent game

Bard's Tale is a classic RPG - a must for any fans of the genre. But, like many games of its era (1985) it's not very accessible for modern audiences. This remastered version totally nails the sweet spot between making the game more accessible without losing the essence (and, importantly, the difficulty) of a mid-80s RPG. You cannot call yourself an RPG fan if you have not played this game. And this is the best way to do it :-) (And bonus - Part IV is about to come out!)

Excellent remake!

I have fond memories of the Bard's Tale Trilogy from playing it as a teenager on the C64. I loved them, but back then, I lacked the patience to complete them. Now, as an adult, it is like I am playing them again but the way they were always meant to be. I am close to completing the first module and I am already anxiously waiting the second volume! For me this trilogy is well worth the price. If you loved the original Bard's Tale, you will love this remake.

This is totally awesome!!

I wish i'd bought it sooner!! The dungeon in the southeast is not where I thought it would be though. I haven't played this in 30+ years so I'm excused I'd think. If you played Bard's Tale in the 80's, you'll be really surprised and how awesome it is now!!
