Definitely Apple 2 GS version. You can import chars from Wizardy I,II and Ultima III... what the christ?
How nice of them, instead of including the manuals with the games, or making an overlay with the scanned pages of the manual, to simply link you to http://bardstale.brotherhood.de/

Roman5: Anyone noticed how recently there seem to be quite a lot of old games releasing on Steam?
Yeah, Steam and GamersGate are certainly entering GoG's turf here (and have done so for quite awhile). Hence it doesn't make much sense anymore for GoG to cling only to releasing old games.

If random encounters with barbarians or goblins EVERY THIRTY SECONDS is your thing, you'll like BT. BT2 is mind-numbingly hard, there's a wilderness and no automap so you have to draw the dungeon maps through via exploration, or just google it to get ones already made before.

But 2 is heaps better because of the new features, you can actually do stuff like dumping your entire party at the Inn and then recruiting an entire party of monsters, which is very fun. Recruited NPC's though act on their AI, so you don't control them, and the AI is rather primitive and they will do stupid things in battle.

jamyskis: Oh my...so they're not DOS versions?
Sadly no. Bought it yesterday, because I thought exactly the same thing about using them with dosbox.

Only had to pay 2,24€ though and I live in Germany, too.
I didn't even know the Apple IIGS had an emulator, how do they run exactly?
Oh, goody, BT1 froze when I ordered my fighter to attack in the very first battle.
is that game really that good? I never played any of them but I remember being kind of interested in the remake when it came out. Then i read some reviews that is wasn't all that good, like boring gameplay and mediocre humor. I don't have any money right now but i guess i could find some tf2 player to buy it for me for some game items, but i'm not sure if i'm gonna enjoy it.

That song always makes me miss my grandad :( . He used to bounce me on his knee singing old and (relatively) new Irish songs. He was part of the reason I learned to play a banjo and mandolin (among other instruments). It was because of him that I grew up with a love of Irish and Scottish music.

As for Bard's Tale, I may just say screw it and pick it up later today while it's still cheap...
Wait... so do you suddenly get the first 3 in your list, or what if you already own it?

Releasing just old games? No

Releasing good old games you can't get from other DD services? Yes

In English: "By clicking on "buy" you agree that Valve grants you immediate access to this digital content and this excludes any possibility of revoking this purchase. The purchase is final."

What a bunch of fucking cunts. So glad I very rarely buy from Steam nowadays.

They just show up in the main menu of the remake.

BTW, Bard's Tale 3 is the Apple II version. Just take in those graphics
