The Bard's Tale - One of the earliest RPG's makes an appearance on the Commodore Plus/4

The Plus/4 World website has surprised us with yet another new recovery! As they have informed the Plus/4 Facebook page, that the 1985 Interplay Productions RPG has been recovered for the Commodore Plus/4 by Csory and Siz. As in the words of the website. "Today, we put a period at the end of a very long story. We were talking about missing this release as far back as 2002, and many times after that. The good news: thanks to Csory and siz, we now have a working version of Bard's Tale"

'The Bard's Tale'- a tale worth telling, if you're a cartographer. (Guest Review)

‘The Bard’s Tale’ is a critically successful dungeon crawler trilogy with its first installment; Tales of the Unknown: Version 1 having been released in 1985. This game is your classic RPG that also bares an extremely close resemblance to ‘Wizardry’ though with upgraded graphics and some additional, innovative game play elements. The game features your standard turn based combat, first person dungeon crawling that will leave you painstakingly mapping out the maze-like dungeons and also riddle based puzzles that will have you trekking back to another dungeon just to find the answer. 'The Bard’s Tale' is a classic case of what 1985 contributed to the world of RPG gaming; lots of hard work, punishingly difficult battles, and a great sense of accomplishment when you finally kill the bad guy.   If you enjoy a good old RPG that’s not so much focused on the story but rather on the game play then you should definitely try out this game.
