Nightowl2 · 06-26-2004, 02:29 PM

The topic was getting long again so time for a new one. Read on!

Just to irritate all the youngsters out there, a couple of Ultima questions

1. Which was the first Ultima designed especially for the PC (all earlier ones being developed first for the Apple)?

2. Which Ultima featured a party for the first time?

1) Ultima 1: The age of darkness
2) Ultima 3

Well, ya blew the first one, Xen; it ws Ultima VI that was on the PC.

However, you were right on the second one: Ultima III featured a party of 4, where the previous games had been solo outings.

SO, you're up next.

Really true ? Wasn't it Ultima V ? IIRC Ultima 5 was my first Ultima game I played on PC.

it may have been a port from another platform b/c he said designed especially for the pc. seeing as all the ultimas can be played on pc now

I know, Betelgeuse, but I played all Ultimas from II -> VIII (in order) . I remember that Ultima V had 5 or more disks for the C64 and you often had to wait minutes for a new dungeon to load ( haven't finished it therefor ). But I bought my first PC that time and I immediatly bought U5 to play it in an acceptable speed.

But that was a long time ago and I'm old, so maybe I'm wrong

All Ultimas through V were personally designed by Lord British for the Apple, with later ports to other platforms. Ultima VI was the first designed-for-PC game, and a strange experience it was, since the graphics were all new and the world was now one size.

Anyway, I'll post a couple new questions tonight if Xen hasn't shown up by then.

Thanks. I was little busy with Euro 2004.

Now to the game trivia. In this game you were a robot. You could go around, grab people/cars and throw them in another robot.
