A lot of games you fondly remember from your childhood can be a tad dissapointing when you play them years later, but not The Bards Tale. They've updated the games enough to make them a bit more user friendly & improved the graphics etc, but without taking anything away from your nostalgia hit. I still find the first game the best of the 3 & happily can spend a few hours grinding away to get everyone ready for the next dungeon. The fact you can now use a controller as well, makes life a lot easier. I don't know if someone thats never played any of the Bards tale games would get the same experience, but for me it takes me back to my youth & if anything, I think I enjoy playing them even more than I did back in the day.
