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?
The OG is as difficult as similar dungeon crawlers of the time, maybe a bit more so. It really was brutal at times.
The Xbox one, tho? It was made in that era before Dark Souls where everything was super hand-holdy. It leaned more into being humorous than a good RPG, imo.
