GUEST: REBECCA "BURGER" HEINEMAN & DRAGON WARS

Dragon Wars is a 1989 computer role-playing video game developed by Rebecca Heineman for Interplay Entertainment. It was originally intended to be The Bard’s Tale IV and was changed shortly before release to Dragon Wars.

This game is highly regarded by critics and players, but never achieved the sales success of the three Bard’s Tale games.
