Bard's Tale Fans, Rejoice!
The designers of the Bard's Tale series, Wasteland and Battle Chess wanted to pool their talents to create the ultimate role-playing fantasy. They knew it had to be a first rate story with state-of-the-art animated graphics. The result was Dragon Wars.

Imprisoned and stripped of everything but your wits, you are sentenced to life in a dungeon. Magic is your only salvation - a worldly possession in a world possessed.

- Supports characters from Bard's Tale I, II, III.
- A unique combat system: choose complexity of combat resolution, determine spell strength, select tactics of ranged combat.
