It's a frightening realization that one of the most revered PC games of all time, Bard's Tale came out almost 20 years ago. That makes some of us in the game industry feel very, very old. The creaky kind of old, to be honest. A lot's happened since the first Tale. Beyond several sequels, Bard's Tale creator Brian Fargo went on to make such institutional games ad Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and Wasteland. Now one of the masters of design has returned to his first true love as Fargo and his new development company, inXile Entertainment, prepare The Bard's Tale for release on PS2, Xbox, and PC.
