(re: Preserving Ultima: Escape from Mt. Drash) Nope – I definitely DO NOT have this in my collection. I don’t think I have any of the original Ultima games, but will start watching eBay for them to come available. I remember that our first box had copy on the back that my brother John wrote, that was hilarious. It had a list of things you could do in the game that included “hanging out with famous software developers”…
I remember that Richard (Garriott) forced us to put a cloth map in every box that cost me a fortune – like $2.50 and up per map. They were expensive, but very cool – and, a part of the success.
The Ultima game on eBay is for the Vic-20! And, on audio cassette?!!! I would absolutely have lost my money if someone had bet me that we once shipped software on a casette for the Vic-20. From the picture it really does look to be us. Strange – I don’t remember it at all. I remember some cartridge games for the Vic-20 .. but, not cassette. Oh well…
