Where is everybody?
Online Christmas shopping? Or lurking about the catacombs? Or like Darendor are you all tied up trying to teach catering to cats...
I'm off into the dungeons with me Wind Dragon unless somebody pops along to entertain me soon. Hobbit burning, or waiting for you guys to wake up?
Hmm, let me toss a gold coin, yup, the hobbit massacre won.

I've been switching from the DOS game to the ][GS Game. Just trying to get my front line characters trained up with the Ateam until they can stand on their own, then I'll bring up the magic users.
Also taking a couple notes because there are a couple differences with the GS Game.
Starting stats for the Dwarf for example
DOS:
ST: 12 - 18
IQ: 6 - 13
DX: 7 - 14
CN 10 - 17
LK 3 - 10
GS Version:
ST 13 -18
IQ 8 - 14
DX 8 - 15
CN 11 - 18
LK 4 - 11
HP 14 - 29
Plus the Apple version give new characters *A LOT* more gold to start with.

The Apple ][ GS version... Compared to the DOS version, it has better graphics, and *MUCH* MUCH better sound (Midi instead of beeps from the pc speaker)Ankie wrote:What is the GS game?
You can find all the different versions here.
MS-DOS vs GS versions of Bards Tale I
Ah, I see.. I am just playing on me Hudl.
The original trio of games came bundled free if you downloaded the 'app' for the new fandangled game. I haven't looked at the new fandangled yet, don't suppose it will appeal to me much. Kinda' like buying a box of cornflakes for the free plastic toy.. you don't much like cornflakes, but hey, this is the best free plastic toy in the wooorld.
As it happens, graphics wise at least my Mad Dog looks freshly groomed like your one on the right as opposed to 'dragged through a hedge with some bad red hair dye' Mad Dog on yer left.. I guess this means I have GS version?
Unsurprisingly I don't recall how well groomed them Mad Dog's were back in the day on me old Commodore but I never forgot the way to Garth's, or that Inn down south where I get's me wine..
