I'd edited my post rather than made a new one... Best write something to bump it to the top of the thread.

Is it going to be the name variant "bop n wrestle" then ?

I had "Rock" as I remember the cassette cover

Ohhh I also remember the Atari one - but didnt remember it looking quite as bad

TheVision · **Posted:** Thu Sep 01, 2011 0:40

Yep... That's the one.

I'm posting this on my 3DS by the way. What an odd little browser.

Bard's Tale

And a difficult one because it could be one of so many games - my first thoughts are "The Bards Tale" (but not the first as that only had 4 characters so 2 or 3)

Craig · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 1236

Looks like Bard's Tale on the Amiga (or ST).

It is indeed The Bard's Tale 2 - a game that occupied far too much of my time.

What did you play it on ? , i sunk so many hours into the first one on the C64 when i had it on tape only (I then had 2 and 3 on the C64 with the weird codewheels to work out how to go between different lands).

My new one and a hint in the image

My trusty A500. I don't think I'd have had the patience for that kind of game on tape.
My recollection is a little vague but I think it was in BT2 that we got stuck on one of the puzzles where an NPC asked "what is the password". We had a huge list of words we'd tried without success then my much younger brother suggested we try "Pass". We mocked him, as you do when you are a teenager, and then got very embarrased when that turned out to be the correct answer. :facepalm:

Okay clues.

Part of the title is displayed on the screenshot
It was published by US gold in 1985 , I had it on the Atari but the screenshot given is from the C64 version
It was created by the 'co-creator' of Boulderdash (not Peter Liepa)

Surprisingly not.

Front cover (minus the title) - and no comments about the nipple of death ?
