A chidhood friend of mine had Bards' Tale III for the Apple II+ and it worked just as well as the others---OK graphics, but since you just had the tiny little speaker (there were legends of a sound card for the Apple II but nobody had one) the sound was kind of lousy, though no worse than for any other game out at the time.
If you play all the different bard songs in this one, there's a little treat for all you Monty Python fans in there
