A fine review of my favourite Bard's Tale. Though aesthetically, the IIGS Bard's Tales I+II are the best of the lot. But as a whole game, BT3 was the best to me , and it never got a IIGS version.

Thanks! This was a review I was happy with when I wrote it on GameFAQs, and I was also happy with the changes I was able to make.

I concur this is a really good review. I remember taking a party through all three games. The cronomancer and geomancer classes new to this game were very cool.

It must've been cool to go through from the start. I got in on the series with BT2 and didn't play BT1 until emulation came along. A friend of mine told me BT1 was just too tough and slow and not to waste my money. He was right, sort of. There weren't any internet guides back then. I wound up enjoying BT1 though the NES version was more fun.

Yeah, it was very cool to play through all them from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the series.

This review is really informative, but I still like your Wizard's Crown review better. Then again, I found that one to be exceptional enough to award it Featured Review status, so that was a tough act to follow.

I'll concur with the good nostalgic review here, though I didn't play computer games so I'm not as aware of the nostalgia for this one. I still take issue with some of your grammar that makes things hard to understand and with your transitions which often are non-existent, leaving me in a scramble to try and figure out your line of thought.

Randxian--I actually liked this review better, though zippdementia pointed out some awkward transitions. I still have a tough time balancing "just letting myself write" and proofreading--especially since I -know- what to look for. And when I reread after a week, I kick myself for not having seen that of course these 2 points don't flow together, etc.
