Bard's Quest by HartSoft

Comment JonQ

This was fun, I really like the old school format. I just couldn't figure out how to light the torch to see the great hall. Also, I got stuck in the dungeon because the pictures won't load. So I can't see what's in the bones. So it was fun, though I wish more of the objects were implemented when you look at them. Good job on the writing, seems like a cool story. Just wish I could finish it!

This is A LOT of fun. Thank you for making it!
I'm in the dungeon and am examining the pile of bones. I can't see the picture that I think is supposed to come up. Can I advance without seeing it?

Review Sue

A quick and intuitive game with relatively easy puzzles. The location descriptions were relevant, but not overly detailed, and written with excellent spelling and grammar (much appreciated!) A great intro to text adventures, and a fun play for more experienced players. I really enjoyed it!

Thanks, frishyfrish, glad you liked it. :-)

Thanks, Charles! Appreciate you trying it out...it's the first one I've made so far.

Thank goodness you didn't just make a text based version of Andrew Hussie's Bard Quest. He never finished that for a reason. Good game, by the way.

Review Charles Scott

This isn't a particularly challenging game -- I finished it in under an hour -- but it is well-written and atmospheric, and I enjoyed playing it. The game-play runs smoothly with no glitches and the solutions to the puzzles are often helpfully signalled in the object descriptions and responses. This would be a good choice of game for somebody just starting to play text adventures.
