I'm a bit disappointed that DOS era The Bard's Tale 1, 2 & 3 are actually from emulated Apple IIGS (for 1 & 2) and Apple IIe (3 at much lower resolution than IIGS version). Any reason why Amiga version wasn't used for all 3 games?

Saved games for importing game characters are incompatible with The Bard's III for Apple IIe only uses 143kb 5.25" floppy disks and I can't access 3.5" 800Kb floppy disks from Apple IIGS version. Any suggestions on a workaround?

I'd love to see inclusion of "The Bard's Tale Construction Set" released for Amiga and MS-DOS.

Maybe because the Amiga versions are quite buggy? From what I have read online:

The Amiga version of BT1 gives Bards extra attacks, but not Warriors. The result is that Warriors are useless, and Bards are better physical attackers than intended.

The Amiga version of BT3 apparently has most (all?) of the DOS version bugs, so you get things like the Stoneblade not working, and (I assume) dragons never breathing fire.
