I'm not sure. I also was not aware of there being two different
versions of Bards Tale I & II for the IIgs. I apparently have the
older versions which are basically identical to the Amiga version. I
didn't know there was a GS/OS specific version until I was
troubleshooting why it wouldn't install on my hard drive and found the
GS/OS version's reference card online. You can get the GS/OS versions
from the IIgs Gaming Fairway.>>>> In addition to being able to make
macros, the GS/OS version features better music and sounds (there are
fighting sounds now), an automap feature, and the ability to save and
restore anywhere which to me is the most important new feature. You do
lose the ability to import characters from Wizardry and Ultima, but I
never used that feature anyway (the characters always sucked).
Here's the new reference guide: http://www.mocagh.org/ea/bt1brcc-refcard.pdf
On one set of the documentation I see that it was distributed by the
Big Red Computer Club. I cannot wait to try this version.
I wonder if it's possible to get a complete package of this version.
Thanks.
As complete a package as you're likely to find can be found at:

http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/bard-s-tale-ii-the-destiny-knight-the
I recently added documentation from the Big Red GS/OS edition to both
Bard 1 and 2.
