This was the same person "Burger" [1] who worked on The Bard's Tale. I can't even tell you how many hours I spent playing those games as a kid.

Oh wow, I had no idea! I played The Bard's Tale a lot when I was a kid on a DOS machine, making my own maps on grid paper and stuff.

I just bought The Bard's Tale trilogy remaster[0] on steam yesterday, and it's great! It's just that sweet spot of being very close to the original, while still having many QoL upgrades to iron out the more painful parts. I highly recommend people who like dungeon crawling types of games (like legend of grimrock) to give it a go!
