From the time that Richard and Robert Garriott first founded Origin Systems in order to publish Ultima III, the completion of one Ultima game was followed almost immediately by the beginning of work on the next. Ultima VI in early 1990 was no exception; there was time only for a wrap party and a couple of weeks of decompression before work started on Ultima VII. The latter project continued even as separate teams made the two rather delightful Worlds of Ultima spinoffs using the old Ultima VI engine, and even as another Origin game called Wing Commander sold far more copies than any previous Ultima, spawning an extremely lucrative new franchise that for the first time ever made Origin into something other than The House That Ultima Built.
There's been two times in my life where I said I was going to buckle down and solve the game with a walkthru and then I had life changing events. I saw Jimmy's article and said, eff it, this time for real. I am not making this up - as soon as I had Exult up my wife sent me a house from Zillow she is interested in and we might move. Sorry Avatar, gotta delay this maybe one more time! |
