Hi there!
	 I was over at a friend's house last night trying out some of his
new (Amiga) Software - Bard's Tale III and Das Boot.  Both of these are
hard-disk installable (the Das Boot disk had ERRORS on it - luckily Disk Salv
fixed it).
	The graphics on Bard's Tale III are AWFUL - while the main screen
panel is well drawn, the animated monsters are appalling - poorly drawn,
lo res with black lines around them (like they've come out of a colouring
book).  Yech.  Definitely inferior to the animations in BT I, II and Dragon
Wars (the best Bard's Tale game so far, imho - although it no longer has
graphics for armour shops etc etc :-( ).

Two trivial questions tho':

	While I was playing Bard's Tale III, I didn't notice any sound after
the intro scene.  Is this normal?
	As for Das Boot, how do you use the deck gun effectively?  Seems to
me it's "hit and miss" when you're blasting away as ships.

Roddi.
