Pritchke-- They were good games, but I don't think you'll like them much now. The graphics and the game engine are both extremely dated. Also, the PC versions are feeble compared to the Commodore 64 and Amiga versions (PC sound was really bad back then, just boops and beeps.) The good news is, there MAY be a Bard's Tale 4. Brian Fargo of Interplay Productions has recently started a new company, and the first thing he did was acquire the rights to the Bard's Tale franchise, so who knows?
