Continuing our game, but with a gap in-between. I have worked the party up to 6th level for the beginning of this stream.

Let's use our time-machine and travel back to 1985. A grand year for computer games. I was 17 years old and in the US Army, learning to repair computers, having graduated high school a half-year early, and having been sent to school a year early, too. The next year, I would buy my first computer: a Commodore 64.

Let's play this oldy, but goody.

InXile re-vamped this game and re-released it in 2019 as part of the The Bard's Tale Trilogy. They added some nice features to it. All you actually need is a keyboard with the letters and arrow keys. We didn't have mouses (or is it mice?) back in 1985.

Here is a link to a walkthrough, for those that might want one. Believe me, it is seldom needed, but still sometimes quite useful:
