Bard's Tale & Ultima

Read an article about a possible new release of these games - Freeware. Reminds me of High School - now If I could only remember the name of that one RPG I had on the C64, I'd be alright.

Played Bard's Tale waaaay too often on my //e, also. Bought a package of graph paper just to map the place.

My folks thought I was nuts.

Never played Bards Tale but Ultima was awesome. Somewhere I still have the little metal ankh that they included with the Ultima IV package... Too bad EA is getting all snitty about these projects.

Found out that Ziosoft is making Ultima: Underworld for PPC! Sure hope they port it to the Palm.

They also make a Fishin game and Need for Speed!
I guess in the game department, it would be cool to have a PPC.
