Man, it would be great to get all these here. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bard%27s_Tale_%281985_video_game%29

Maybe a 5.99 bundle for the three originals? EDIT: Oh, Steam has the first three and the 2004 remake/parody for 10 bucks! Hopefully that will land here eventually, as well as Wasteland and Wasteland 2. :)

JAAHAS: At least they didn't email the key for me, so now all I have to do to decline the offer is just not visit the Ranger Portal for a while.

Aningan: If you don't want the game you can visit the Ranger Center just fine. You need to press a button and request a key, you don't get issued one automatically. Besides there are people who'd like a key, like johnki, so you could always give it away.
But dependance on Steam is an addiction that is not cured by providing more keys!

<span class="bold">$2.49</span>! The backlog just keeps getting bigger.
Which one is it? The BEER BEER BEER TIDDLY BEER one?
I'm ever so slightly annoyed by this. Of course it's cool that backers get extra stuff, but I joined with a coworker of mine to get the $30 tier. We just split the cost, because he would like some of the stuff from the higher tier, while I was mainly interested in the game itself, and the higher tier included two copies of the game, one for him and one for me. I can't imagine we're the only two people to do this. After all, what's an extra copy for, if not for someone else? I gave him the $15 and he made the pledge, so we're both out $15, but only he gets all the extra goodies they throw into the mix over time.

Yes

also thanks to OP for mentioning this, I enjoy Bard's Tale(2004) for what it is.
I enjoyed it for its humor and it's simplistic BG: DA style approach. Not to mention, the Beer song.

Downloaded! I know what I'll be replaying this weekend. :)

johnki: Ah, indeed they did. Damnit!

grviper: Apple versions. Apple II in the worst case. The emulator is integrated into Bard's Tale 2004, the floppy image archives are password-protected.
So they actually put DRM on almost 30 year old games? That's low.
Cool as hell, I already have Bard's Tale but I'll definitely log in so I can hand off my key. I haven't finished it but what I've played has been quirky and fun.

I have the Retail Box of the New Bard's Tale - I am thinking the best part of that purchase was getting the three originals for free.

Definitely the best part, I only have The Bard's Tale, 2 and 3 I don't think I have a legit copy anymore.
