Wow, Just Wow!! This is the game I remember. I used to play this on our new Tandy 1000 on 5 1/4 floppy discs. Between Starflight, Empire Deluxe and Bard's Tale I spent a lot of time on that computer with the old CRT monitor.

Somehow, like others have said, this actually seems like the game I remember but in modern graphics. Some minor tweaks that make the game a better play in today’s world, like the auto mapping. With the limited time I have to play games these days having that feature is nice. I even went and dug out my original copies of the Bard's Tale series and have the paper map of Skara Brae, spells list, etc. I even found my old graph paper with all the dungeons mapped out. I have not looked at those as I want to relearn the game again.

If you have played this game in the past, I highly recommend it again. Not only is it a great nostalgia trip, but they did an incredible job on this remaking. This is the best remake of any game I have ever played. They honestly nailed it. For those that have never played I encourage you to give it a go. This is where the genre began. Old school rpg that is a lot of fun. It might take a bit to get going, but is so well worth it once you get a bit deeper in the game.

For the price you can't go wrong. Buy, enjoy and see you in Skara Brae!!!
