I am interested in adventure games of the Bard's Tale flavour. I am not
interested in games which require arcade-honed reflexes (due to a
deprived childhood :-))

I have extensive fantasy gaming experience and am interested in computer
games with the same feel.

I noticed the KOEI trilogy of games that are set in medieval China and
have a few questions:
	o Are they good?
	o Do they multi-task?
	o Do they install on a hard-disk?
	o What is the copy-protection scheme?
	o Should they be played in a particular order? What order?
	o How would you rate the games according to:
	  - sustaining interest?
	  - playability and user interface?
	  - quality and robustness?
	o What is the basic premise of each of the games?

Feel free to use Bard's Tale or Pool of Radiance as a standard of
comparison.

Thank you for your help,
