'Bard's Tale' is a hardcore RPG game in a first-person, point-and-click style. 'Tales of the Unknown' rose in popularity on DOS, Apple][ and C64. The NES version is a port, miniaturized to fit on the NES cartridge (The Computer versions were on 3 separate floppy disks). Even with the drastic loss of functionality in comparison to the original(s), this game is a great RPG with a high replay value. Unfortunately, Bard's Tall II was only released in Japan and Bard's Tale III never made it to the console world.
