Like liverneck, I started playing the Bards Tale series in 1985, but it had been about 30 years since I last played it. This update is a real treasure. Every aspect of the game has been lovingly re-created. The graphics are state-of-the-art but otherwise unchanged from the original. Game play is also true to the original, but with improvements which make it much more playable. No more typing 4-letter codes to cast spells. I don't know how younger gamers would respond to this series, but for anyone who plays and enjoys old-school RPGs, this one is a must-have. Solid gold.
