Comment on Is the bards tale (1) really hard or am not good?

I played it on the Amstrad CPC, from cassette/tape. Saving/loading from tape took ages, so did the loading for dungeons. I have no idea how I managed to beat this game.
Do yourself a favour. Get the remastered version from gog. It’s the same game, with auto mapping and the ability to save and load whenever you want.
Or… draw maps and go to the adventurer’s guild every few minutes to save your game. And then grind, grind, grind, and grind :) Don’t bother reviving party members in the beginning, it’s too expensive!

I think I’m settled on using the apple to play since I bothered to recap it.
what you are saying is what I came up with, but I figured that there had to be a better way.

Have fun! I sure did back then, and when I replayed the remaster.
One tip: Somewhere in the sewers (I don’t remember which level) is a field where you encounter lots of enemies (20 or more?). They respawn when you change levels. I used that particular spot to farm, saves you at least some time! And don’t forget the fire horn, it’s extremely powerful and can be bought usually at Garth’s!
Good memories! Thank your for this post! It put a smile on my face!
