My Bard Tale Adventure
Posted: Sun Jun 10, 2007 11:10 am
Well, I started playing Bard's Tale on the Apple II, which I have never done before, and it is much more difficult than the other versions I have played. I am barely able to stay alive at level 1. Unlike the Dos and C64 versions, you can get attacked by multiple groups of monsters in the city. I am used to only having to face 1 group. Also, the starting HP caps at 19, which I believe is similar to the C-64, while the Dos goes up to 29. Since some of these starting monsters are hitting for 10 points at a clip, I have been dying a lot. But, since this is my quest to finally beat Tarjan, I will stick with it, and hope that my geys don't toil for long on these levels. While I do not want it to be a cakewalk, I would like to survive a fight.
