‘The Bard’s Tale’ is a critically successful dungeon crawler trilogy with its first instalment; Tales of the Unknown: Version I 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 gameplay 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 gameplay then you should definitely try out this game.
