The original poster probably isn't a troll. There are plenty of
sites out there that let you download really old software like
some of the old single player Ultima games and the companies
don't mind because they've long ago stopped selling and
supporting them. That's why it's called "abandonware."
He probably just saw the word "Ultima" in the newsgroup game and
figured it was worth a try.
