The CRPG Addict did not care for itby Ice Cream Jonsey 03/05/2012, 7:16pm PST
I think what I like most about the CRPG Addict is that he IS plenty fair, but he's going to give you a fair amount of Cablestyle Test of Time in his review as well. Whereas if Yahtzee doesn't like a game I care for, I feel he didn't give it a fair shake or had to make a deadline.
It looks like Bard's Tale III asked you to scroll down a list of up to 80 spells and pick the one you want to cast. As shipped, it didn't let you enter their four-letter codes. Maddening! There are patches out there that help with that sort of thing. A guy by the name of drifting manage to disassemble the game. (If you want the direct link to the patched Bard's 3 file, here you go.)
It seems like there was a ton of annoying shit in Bard's Tale 3, but that's not going to stop me from getting a Commodore 64 flash cart in a couple months and trying it myself. :(
Here are the three posts the CRPG Addict did on BT3:
