I’ve recapped an Apple 2e and started playing what was one of my first games, the bards tale.
I distinctly recall I beat the game, but I can hardly get 1/2 through the first floor of the first dungeon.
I started grinding near a temple where I can heal my party but the rng encounters make a very hard battle every 4-5 battles that wipe party members.
Reviving a party member cost 900 gold a level so if I do get them leveled up to 2 or 3 it’s too expensive to get a raise.
Anyone else remember this game?
I remember this game. I got pretty far in it. It’s super grindy. I remember there’s a part of the city near the starting tavern where there’s a little alcove with two doors facing each other. I spent a long time holding down the forward button and it would auto go in one door, out, into the other one, and back. Opening doors can randomly spawn mobs.
I’d go there fight a battle or two and heal up at the tavern, save, and go back. It’s close enough I wouldn’t normally random encounter before getting back.
I actually just bought it again on gog today. I was a little dissapointed that the legacy mode doesn’t show me the old graphics.
