The original The Bard’s Tale, The Bard’s Tale II: The Destiny Knight and The Bard’s Tale III: Thief of Fate will be given FREE to all backers of the currently ongoing The Bard’s Tale IV Kickstarter for any pledges to tier $20 or higher.
The original trilogy will be released to backers after the Kickstarter has successfully funded as emulated versions of the classic games. However, inXile Entertainment also has an agreement in place with the original The Bard’s Tale III programmer Rebecca “Burger” Heineman to work on updated versions of the three games based on their Apple IIGS versions, to run natively on modern Windows and Mac PCs. Once she delivers on the enhanced versions, they too will be given free to backers.
