Administrators Arcade King Posted September 28, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted September 28, 2016 I remember having one of them for my Atari ST but can't recall which one. I just remember the cloth map but its long gone. These things go for stupid money now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Trev Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The only original game I have now is The Hitchikers guide to the galaxy. I have downloaded disk images for Ultima 1 2 and 3 but had trouble transferring them with ADT Pro. I may have been using the wrong RS232 cable. I'll try again soon.

danny_galaga Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Ultima III is on my list of games to play on the C64. I'll get hold of/print up the manuals and books first though… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG Trev Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Thanks for the offer of the Ultima disks but I've had ADT Pro working before so I'll keep trying. The Super Serial Card seems to work ok so I might have set something up wrong on the laptop? Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybeaux Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I remember it being a very addictive game. I only had ultima IV on the master system , probably still have it somewhere. I spent days /weeks trying to get through it and never succeeded. I remember i couldn't get one of the 8 virtues , can't remember which one but if you somehow stuffed up you'd loose the other 7 and have to prove yourself again. Very addictive and very cruel game. Good luck with your quest Trav! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttersoft Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Ahhh, the Ultimas. My first encounter was with U4, but I'd watched a friend's sister play U2 and U3 before that. I was never organised enough at the time to get very far, just loved how huge the world seemed, how you could get totally lost. In time I found out that my copy of U4 on the Apple ][ was corrupt, and the top half of the world was just water, so it would have been difficult to get very far anyway :) Striking out on a tangent, has anyone tried the Exile or Avernum series by Spiderweb software? The first three Exile games are a lot like the early Ultimas (most like U5, i'll admit) but richer, without being so updated as to kill the vibe. The first three Avernum games are remakes of the first three Exile games, and the last three Avernum games are closer in style to U6 - isometric view, party members always on screen, etc. They're awesome games, and I highly recommend Exile/Avernum 1 & 3 and Avernum 4 & 6.

And I presume we've all played Moebius/Windwalker for Apple ][? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I presume we've all played Moebius/Windwalker for Apple ][? Not here. The only exposure I had to the Apple II was at primary school which was mostly educational stuff like Pieces of Eight(which after 30+ years I'm going to complete if it kills me!), Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago etc and my mate who had an IIc in which I remember playing Karateka and Moon Patrol on the little green screen :D Pieces of Eight interestingly enough was made by the Department of Education in QLD, its worth a go!

pocketmoney Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Played and finished U3, ultima IV learnt the hard way even though the random encounters were annoying especially when you were at high level and just wanted to get from point a to b. Dont leave the battle, your courage virtue will nose dive. I loved getting treasure maps and leads from conversations thay would send you to a map co-ordinate to search. Loved the ultima series, ultima underworld on the pc had me exploring for weeks.. Awesome game. Played ultima 3,4 on apple 2 Played 5-9 and Underworld 1 and 2 on pc. Anyone have an extra 2e for sale working or not. Let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redback Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (Ulitma) One of the first games we got when we bought an Apple II plus, remember spending all night playing and then having to still go to school. Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
