In 1985, Tales of the Unknown: The Bard�s Tale was released for 8-bit computer systems like the Apple 2 and the Commodore 64. But for two decades, the streets of Skara Brae have fallen silent. Now, thanks to the Aurora Toolset, Bioware�s Neverwinter Nights and eighteen months of development, you can finally hear the rest of The Bard�s Tale.
Ever wondered what Roscoe�s last name is? How did Garth come to own his equipment shoppe? Why is Kyleran sitting alone in his tower, apparently besieged by monsters, while the town wastes? And most of all � why is Mangar waging war against the town of Skara Brae?
Finally, the answers to all these questions and many more have been found.
Come relive the mystery and the adventure of The Bard�s Tale, as you�ve never seen it before. And don�t forget to pick up a Flame Horn if you can find one!

NOTE: You do NOT have to be a Bard to play, you can play ANY class you like.
NOTE: I have added a FAQ and Buglist to the available files. I will update these as often as possible as new information becomes available.
NOTE: Please bear in mind this is a remake of a very old game and therefore leans heavily toward �hack n� slash�. Role-playing and character/NPC development is all new material to the game.
