 Bard's Tale (1985) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In fact, the reason he was not involved in The Bard's Tale III was because he decided to go back to university to study philosophy and theology.
According to Bill Heineman (programmer of The Bard's Tale III) the name of the overall series was to be Tales of the Unknown, and the three games were to be entitled The Bard's Tale, The Archmage's Tale, and The Thief's Tale.
The Bard's Tale is a straightforward "dungeon crawl".

 The Bard's Tale - Playstation 2 (PS2) Reviews - The Armchair Empire
Bard's Tale isn't a bad game, certainly, but it is a flawed one that comes nowhere near the greatness of the best dungeon crawls (Diablo, the aforementioned Rogue and Norrath).
Bard's Tale is built on Snowblind's great Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance engine and anyone who has played that game will have a grasp on the look and feel of Bard's Tale.
I still have Bard's Tale I through III on floppy disk in my attic, and I still fondly remember using graph paper to map out on the towns and dungeons of those Commodore 64-era originals.

The Bards tale is the first CRPG that I ever played and I still have fond memories of it, I had it on both the C64 and the Amiga (Computers that apparently never took off in America but did rather well in Europe).
Bards Tale was the first RPG I played on my C64, and it has been this experience, that urged me to play all the other RPG to the present.

 Four Fat Chicks -- The Bard's Tale Review
The Bard's Tale is actually number four in a series that began in 1985 with Tales of the Unknown, Volume I: The Bard's Tale, which was followed up by the 1987 release of The Bard's Tale II: The Destiny Knight (what happened to the "Tales of the Unknown" remains an unknown tale).
Also, there are several opportunities for the Bard to be a bard, e.g.: "Press X to jam with the drunks." These are always worth doing; not only are the lyrics funny as all getout, sometimes the result is a boost in experience.
The Bard's characteristics are the usual DandD-type categories like luck, stamina, charisma, etc. There are 25 tokens in the game; I only managed to find 17, I think, and I felt like I covered every square inch of the terrain and took all there was for the taking.

 The Pulling Report
Also in 1988 another computer game, Bards Tale III, was selected Best Computer Game by the Strategist Club.
Pulling had filed a lawsuit against Robert A. Bracey, III, the principal of the high school her son attended and where he played Dungeons & Dragons®.2 The lawsuit, which was thrown out of court on 26 October 19833, was the first public instance of Mrs.
These are the seminars at which “occult symbol” hand-outs are distributed, including things like “the Star of David” and at which any non-Christian religion is branded “Satanism.” Clearly Pat Pulling is a “cult crime expert” only in her own eyes and those of her cronies, allies and disciples.

One thing The Bard's Tale did quite well was emphasize the huge difference between low-level and high-level characters.
I'm not sure Bard's Tale would be one of those, because it's story was quite simplistic.

 A World of Books 2000: International Classics (Library of Congress)
The tales themselves were recreated from those told for centuries by Welsh bards.
The tales comprising the "Four Branches of the Mabinogi," for example, are filled with bold kings, queens, and knights, magical horses, enchantment, goddesses and poetry--in short the elements of superb medieval romances, Welsh story-telling, and Celtic mythology.
The novel presents a powerful epic tale of a ragtag army of religious fanatics--followers of a charismatic leader, Antonio Conselheir--in a desperately poor region of Brazil at a time of social and political turmoil.

 CNS Movie Review: Tristan & Isolde
NEW YORK (CNS) -- Immortalized by bards, poets and, most famously, composer Richard Wagner -- not to mention an uninspired 1979 cinematic telling -- the tragic romance of forbidden passion between an English knight and his Irish paramour gets occasionally stirring but mostly somber screen treatment in "Tristan & Isolde" (20th Century Fox).
(The film's jettisoning of the original tale's enchanted love potion makes them more morally culpable for their illicit actions.)
The story itself -- of obscure Celtic origins -- is one of the foundational myths of chivalric literature, echoed in later works such as "Romeo and Juliet" and the triangular tragedy of King Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot.

Since their breakout from the Bedlam asylum several years ago, the Bedlam Bards have only become more outrageous in their criminal acts of balladry with violins, according to a police source who wished to remain anonymous.
Meanwhile, the Bedlam Bards are under investigation for numerous alleged crimes.
When asked to comment on the Bards' infamous acts, he said, "Their performance down at Murphy's Shed floored me. I mean, once I could regain my feet, I had to fetch my big brother so that he could hear them for himself."

 Blue's News: News Comments
Well, this is a bit of subjective matter, and you have to realise that The Bard's Tale series was released sometime during the mid 80's, in which videogames were reasonably considered to actually BE a waste of time.
Ofcourse, any single game in The Bard's Tale easily took 200 hours to play through, not even COUNTING the damn map drawing, and really, 200 hours is too long for any game to take, even if it's as good as Baldur's Gate 2.
Now, picture a standard Bard's Tale dungeon, which is a block of about 30 by 30 cubes.
