Bard Sings Ballad for Skara Brae (The Bard's Tale Intro 1987)

To read, watch, listen and, yes, even play the tales by the wizards at The Bard's Tale publisher Electronic Arts, gather around the bard (me!) as I spin the tale at The Dot Eaters:

The Bard's Tale intro presented a musician who practiced his art well. He sang a tale that inspired gamers to venture out in an attempt to rescue Skara Brae from the cold clutches of the dark wizard Mangar. Perhaps he will inspire you to riches and fame!

Brings back memories. Crazy how far video games have come. Think about the next generation coming

You're right, it's funny to think how exciting this was to us on computers at the time: an actual musical soundtrack accompanied by 1FPS animation.

I remember actually buying this for my C64. And it came in that huge trifold sleeve and had all the disks. And I had to use graph paper to map everything. It felt like I had unlocked an entire world, which back then didn't happen often considering the memory constraints! It's amazing how the intro for this game with the guy playing - the graphics are great and the music is full of character. They could do so much with so little back then and get your imagination racing.
