                BARDS TALE

    QUICK START GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS


   for the magazine (C) "EMULATE"

         (C) 1996, translation of "STEP"


   In Bards Tale, this epic role-playing game, with its 17 huge 
levels, you can play forever. 

   To make it easier at first, here's a brief guide to some of 
the most remarkable places in the city of Skara Bray. 


         Qualifications Board.


   Qualification Board (Review Board)
- The most important place in the entire game. Here
You raise your level, this assumes a new magical power. The 
Council is located at Pipe Street (Trumpet Street), in the 
second house on the left hand, if we look to the South. 


           MAD TEMPLE OF GOD.


   Beneath it hides a dark dungeon.
But before you enter, you will need to prove to the priests, 
the Mad God, his faith ... 



             Taverns and the Temple.


   Temples - a very useful site. Here
Your heroes can receive medical treatment, to heal from
serious injury and even resurrect
(Although it is very expensive).


   The owners of taverns - valuable informants, but
also not for nothing. The entrance to the first dungeon,
in which you will get, is located near the
tavern, so be careful.


                  LOCKS.


   A total of Skara Bray three locks (Castles),
and all of them sooner or later you'll have to visit, although 
the entrance to them is not easy to find. Not costs too much to 
try to overwhelm the guards of the castle of Baron Harkin 
(Baron Harkyn) in the north-west of the city ... All

well you can not go away until the
more experience.



             SINISTER ROAD.


   (Apparently, so is called the road leading from north to 
south, near the street, on which stands a statue of the 
Samurai, and in parallel her. - Trans.)



   This strange street, it seems, extends to infinity ... While 
those who know: it can play its role more

in the game ...


        LEGENDARY FIERY iris.


   Fire Rogue Bard (Fire Horn) - the most
powerful weapon in the game. It can easily overwhelm the hordes 
of enemies. But do not be too wasteful, using it:

Suddenly Fire Horn will not work
forever ...

   Unfortunately, have to inform all
our readers that due to the fact that
our creative team goes on a platform IBM - this issue of our 
magazine - Last. For two years we were together with you

- Now, when there appeared a host of other electronic 
publications on topics Spectrum, we believe that our withdrawal 
will be not very painful for you. Maybe

After some time we'll meet again,
but on a different platform - as the recently concluded our 
creative team contract for a large amount of firm

MICROPROSE, which are interested in our
development, and in particular the game "Star
Legacy - 2 "and" Special Forces ". MICROPROSE President 
expressed his confidence that that these games will be able to 
double the profits of the company. In May we go to the U.S. to 
finalize the contract and, quite may return home only at the 
end of this year. 



   Once again we ask all our readers
to maintain good spirits - life goes on!


        We do not say "goodbye"

        we say "goodbye"!

P.S. This April issue we have to finish in preparation for 
departure to USA, so please excuse for the delay.
