Help with Bards Tale and Power 64 for Mac.
I was wondering if I could ask everyone a quick question about the Power 64 emulator and Bards Tale. I downloaded The Bard's Tale for Macintosh file off of the Adventurer's Guild website and I also downloaded the Emulator Power 64, but I am unable to test the Bards Tale game in the emulator. I have a Mac Powerbook G4 that is 4yrs old with OSX 10.3.9, so not sure if I even downloaded the correct file for the computer I have. I can open the emulator and when I follow the special instructions for running Bards Tale on the emulator I cannot find any .d64 File in the File I have downloaded from the site. Have I done something wrong? I know I need to register the emulator if I plan to use it for an extended period of time, but I cannot even open the file in the emulator to test it for the 10min they give you for free. When I click on the file that I downloaded there are 3 things inside it, a Data folder, Characters folder, and a Bards Tale icon, that's it. Could you offer me any help? Is there another way I can play the game without all this? Thanks.

It sound like Power64 is a Commodore 64 Emulator for Mac.
In that case, you need to download the Commodore 64 version of The Bard's Tale, which is what the Power 64 emulator is asking for--d64 is a popular extension for Commodore 64 disk images.
