Quite sad to see them go to 3d, I still love the old turn based text style. I hope someone does one soon for ios, instant buy for me.

Apparently the full original Bard's Tale trilogy will be free updates to this... http://toucharcade.com/2012/02/20/or...-free-updates/

Its 'pricey' in iOS terms at $5.99 but in real terms its very cheap, you get a great game, plus with all those free retro Bards Tales episodes, think its a great deal. Plus of course i always think when you buy games like this, the more sales they get the more chance we'll get to see some sort of updates/sequel/other similar games if this ones a good seller.

So for just a few dollars you get this quality game, so worth it

Totally agree, I just finished the game over the weekend, after about 25-30 hours of gametime. Well worth the $5.99. Definitely one of my top games on iOS so far, probably my favorite overall iOS "RPG" (if you don't count DungeonRaid, which is a VERY different type of game, and not really a RPG.)

BT3 will be included soon - they've already put BT1 in and 2 & 3 are planned. Also there are many turn based RPGs on iOS. Check out Silversword and Undercroft - both excellent and very similar to the original BT.

And this version, while nothing like the original, is a great game too.

[update] as it so happens, Silversword just went free!

I have tried Bard's Tale on iPad 3 (I began this game on iPad 2)... and there are a lot of glitches on the screen. I cannot choose to charge my old save game in the start menu.

It would be more ports in this case, due to the time lapse. Good game though.

With the latest update, this is gorgeous on the new iPad! My husband is playing it now, and keeps taking screenshots of his "favorite scenes", they're so beautiful. In fact, hubby loves it so much that I can't pry the iPad away from him, he plays this continuously!

I grabbed it while on sale. I don't actually know what these game are like, but for $2 for 3 games, I figured it's worth a shot. I'm going to have to clear off some space for it, though.

At about 25 hours of fun (not including the old text games), the best 8 cents per hour you'll ever spend.
