From Destructoid: “The original Bard’s Tale trilogy was developed by Interplay and published by Electronic Arts in the mid-to-late ’80s. Despite being hard as nails, that trilogy is generally seen as a hidden gem among classic RPGs. They had incredible music, writing, and addicting dungeon crawling gameplay that kept you pushing forward.”
