If anyone has played either of these games, could you please summarize why you like or dislike them? Which is more D+D like? Are there any incompatabilities? thanks.

I played the Bards Tale. I played it on the apple ][ & the Mac.
They are 100% compatible, except the Mac version is not copy
protected, and no check on hacking you characters.
I won't spoil you with hints, but you play with 1 to 6 characters
from different races and types.
The manual has some hints, bartenders give hints, clues also to be
found in the dungeon.

Debugging involves rules, logic, hunches, intuition, source listings, experience
tedium, and many caffeine-enriched beverages.

I am currently in the midst of playing M&M II on the mac, and have found the game to be pretty good so far. I have played Bard's Tale on an Apple IIgs, and think that Might&Magic has a more organized storyline (people give you minor quests--things like that). By the way, I have just finished up in Middlegate (I believe) and have been able to find Green Messages 1 and 3. Does anyone know where I can find the other two (I have looked around quite a bit)? They seem pretty important. Spoilers appreciated, although I would appreciate if you don't give everything away. Thanks in advance. Bill Hooper
