Really? I shall have to look up the original.

You should play this one if you get the chance. It's quite good.

And Cary Elwes.

So I googled it. Turns out I'm only about 25% right. From Wikipedia...

"In 2003, Brian Fargo (who created maps for the first two Bard's Tale games and directed the third) left Interplay Entertainment and began a new game development company named InXile Entertainment. In 2004 they released their first game, also titled The Bard's Tale ? an irreverent console-style top-down action game which pokes fun at fantasy role-playing games such as the original Bard's Tale. It was not a sequel to the classic Bard's Tale series ? although a legal loophole allowed InXile to use the name, Electronic Arts still owns the original trademarks. InXile was not legally allowed to use any of the plot, characters or locations featured in the original trilogy."

Well, it is a game called Bard's Tale by one of the original designers of the old game called Bard's Tale. You understand how I could be confused

Heh! Well it still probably has the flair of the game I played. Worth a look perhaps. At the very least, you alerted me to a possible new time waster.

Pretty certain that game was a sequel itself. Never did get around to playing that sadly.

Yeah, I think Bard's Tale was the 4th game to bear that title, though I've heard it isn't very similar to the originals at all.
