I’ve recapped an Apple 2e and started playing what was one of my first games, the bards tale.
I distinctly recall I beat the game, but I can hardly get 1/2 through the first floor of the first dungeon.
I started grinding near a temple where I can heal my party but the rng encounters make a very hard battle every 4-5 battles that wipe party members.
Reviving a party member cost 900 gold a level so if I do get them leveled up to 2 or 3 it’s too expensive to get a raise.
Anyone else remember this game?
Yeah, again-- I’d just look at a walkthrough or online help guide at this point. When I get stuck on a game I’ll often use those to get past an unsolvable point, then put them away so as not to spoil the rest of the game.
Plenty of games like BT1 I solved in the day by myself, but sometimes with later replays I just don’t have the drive and energy to do it all over again. I just want to experience the fun of the game again and move on.
