This sequel begins in Skara Brae - recently reduced to ruins by Tarjan, the Mad God of game one. A series of seven quests must be solved before you can track him down and do him in. Missions involve a wider variety of puzzle types due to a new command that permits you to use objects and artifacts. Other improvements include auto-mapping, new character classes, magic spells and dungeon levels (84 of them!) that vary in size and shape. You also get to visit more exotic lands than in the previous installments, for each quest takes place in its own universe: a forest world, a frozen wasteland, and one that's linked via time warps to different times on earth, from ancient Rome to the Nazis' Berlin. Characters from the previous games may be imported into this one.

Definitely interesting and it rocks (just like the previous BT games) :D

Notes:

a) If you watch this video to the end you might ask yourself "Why didn't he go into the dungeon." Well, I wanted to go first into it, but then I turned back because I thought my party isn't ready for it, so I wanted to train a little bit...obviously, I was right with my thought, lol.


b) This .rom gave me some problems to get it to work on AppleWin, but I somehow managed it after some tries...

Here's a little tutorial on how to make BTIII work on AppleWin:


1.) Do everything it says first, until you come to the camp where the game "freezes", then change your BTIII character disk, with the Bard's Tale II character disk, afterwards make your party and leave the camp.

2.) Before you now make one move in the wilderness, change the BTII character disk with the BTIII character disk, or else this game will freeze one time and then you can NOT play it anymore, even if you change the disk.
So yeah, change disk before making a move.
