Before I spend any more $$, what hope is there in an old geek playing these
games on Wondows XP?
I'm one of I'm sure many who played Ultima as it was released. I regret
terribly not keeping my box goodies and maps
(and my certificates from
Lord British!!! To this day, when I play any PC game, I kill no creatures
who don't attack me first. If a deer wanders by, I consider Ultima IV and
leave it be..my children look at me like I'm nuts 😉 I chose to steal now
and again in circmstances I decide are right. So much of how I play is from
Ultima it amazes me. Recently, I've become onsessed with replaying the whole
series form the start. Yes, I'm aware of the silliness our older two
dimensional characters and black and white dungeons will seem, but I don't
care, I want to play! My brother overwrote my U3 saves and I had to play the
final battle as HIS character, a wrong that must be righted 😉 I want to
find the guy who talks about hotel California so I can remind myself why a
screenshot of ultima comes into my head when I hear the song..I wanna see
the silly icon for villages such as Paws I want to remember why I always
look at whirlpools with suspicions. I want to find the balloon for the first
time again
Silly, huh, but I'll let the dream die if the idea of a not-so technical
geek trying to make these games work is impossible. I am willing to go to
Ebay and buy my own copies of the games again, I have no wish to beat the
system, but if I am to invest, I want to know what my chances are 😉 I'm not
stupid, but I'm not all that technical either and I think my hubby isn't
going to help this current obsession 😉
