Amazing. When I was around 10 years old I had a Apple II pirated copy of The Bard's Tale. Yes, a copy. No manual, no box. NO idea what the 4 letter acronyms for the spells were. As time passed, I finally got my hands on a real copy of The Bard's Tale for the Apple IIgs, arguably the best version of the game with the Ensoniq sound chip blasting my bard's songs into the early morning. This version captures it all without muddying anything up! Sometimes with some of the quality of life improvements it feels like I am cheating! I do hope they will add the iron man mode along with some achievements to show if you are one of the few to be able to play the Bard's Tale in the old school fashion! I gotta say, in some other area's (Monster encounters) it does feel a little easier than it was on the old Apple II beyond even the quality improvements. This game is really one of the best of it's kind and this remaster does it exemplary justice! Highly recommend even at full price. Especially if it has any nostalgia for you at all, you see this remaster does more than just fullful that nostalgia, it delivers an experience you want to actually play again and finish!
