Like the box with the spell manual and map or whatever. Ahhhhh. Building bridges with abandoned ships.

If you complete Ultima III and beyond you can “Report thy feat” to Richard Garriott, aka Lord British on Twitter. He will acknowledge you.

I completed the first four. I am ashamed to say I liked the earliest ones best.
Anyone remember Questron from SSI?

Ultima IV was my favorite video game experience of all time.

My parents almost banned me from it because the cover was "satanic". You can't make this shit up

Yeah, it came with an Ankh and parchment books with weird characters. My parents had the same comments, but didn't stop me from playing it.

Must have been during the “satanic panic”.

Yeah, Ultima V didn't stick with me for some reason, and Ultima VI revamped the gameplay and it lost its charm.

Questron I & II along with Wizards Crown, Phantasia and others were solid RPGs for sure. I believe those were better than the D&D games that SSI did. They shocked me since SSI was war game centered.

No kidding? I completed III and IV several times on my C-64 back in the 80s. I still have it and it still works. Should fire it up and play through again.

Was the enemy in this one named Mondane?

On Atari what?
AryuOcay@reddit
So long ago. I loved that game but ultima II was my jam. We used to rent time on Apple IIs to play it.

Is that the one where you had to run from room to room to beat Minax?
