As Drinky said, "This game is how you remember Ultima, not how Ultima actually is if you try to play it today."

If you are interested in a 50-60 hour, fairly challenging, old-school isometric Ultima V/VI style RPG with new-school UI concessions and will actually play it, send me your Steam ID and I will gift it to you. Add me as a friend on steam - I am raketemensch. You need to add me as a friend!

Free to the first 3 winos who respond!

Wait. I can't say for sure if I'd play it. It's cheap enough for me to buy if I decide to. I've spent more on chinese food. Give it to someone else.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #5 on:** June 27, 2012, 02:04:38 PM »

So how does it compare to Avadon?

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #6 on:** June 27, 2012, 02:05:40 PM »

It's a lot better than Avadon. Longer, deeper, meatier, girthier. More satisfying.

archnemesis · « **Reply #7 on:** June 27, 2012, 02:05:41 PM »

I've considered buying this, but I figured I should go through my backlog of Black Isle Studios games first.

Verdigris Murder · « **Reply #15 on:** June 27, 2012, 03:07:36 PM »

I've played about 2 hrs of this on iPad. It's pretty okay.

I dunno who cookiecups is but they're not getting their comp copy until they speak up

Bebpo · « **Reply #22 on:** June 27, 2012, 08:40:46 PM »

I want to buy this because it is cheap and good, but I won't play it for years probably so I really shouldn't waste that $3 I could spend on a blank t-shirt.

naff · « **Reply #23 on:** June 27, 2012, 09:07:49 PM »

Will play fo sho (probably) steam id quietID but I'm happy to buy it due to your endorsement.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #24 on:** June 27, 2012, 09:58:28 PM »

I got this on iPad, highly recommended. Will pick up a PC copy though since I think it's more suited to PC.

demi · « **Reply #25 on:** June 27, 2012, 09:58:52 PM »

I'd rather play it on an iPad. Buy me an iPad?

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #26 on:** June 27, 2012, 10:56:00 PM »

there's still one Borean copy waiting to be claimed! I appreciate everyone picking it up themselves, but don't be an hero! get it for free!

originalz · « **Reply #27 on:** June 28, 2012, 03:52:10 AM »

Hell, I'll take one. Steam name is Original_Z

Fifstar · « **Reply #28 on:** June 28, 2012, 07:13:38 AM »

I couldn't get into Ultima VII, so I will give this a try. Bought.

tiesto · « **Reply #29 on:** June 28, 2012, 08:29:29 AM »

I'd totally take a copy but I just know I won't play it for like another 6 or so years...

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #30 on:** June 28, 2012, 11:22:09 AM »

Z gets the last copy! thanks all

originalz · « **Reply #31 on:** June 28, 2012, 11:08:26 PM »

Good lookin out, always been interested in Spiderweb's games but the interface always put me off. Avadon was downright playable and I put many hours into it, so I'll look forward to seeing how it all began!

Fifstar · « **Reply #32 on:** June 29, 2012, 04:05:03 PM »

Played this today and I am just up to Silvar. I'm liking it so far, the scenario is interesting and the UI and rpg mechanics are tight. My biggest gripe with it are the simple graphics and missing music, it's a bit lacking in atmosphere.

What am I looking at? Pocket Planes is Editor's Choice. Woohoo

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #35 on:** June 29, 2012, 06:40:38 PM »

It really does need some music yes, maybe a couple of tracks by Mark Morgan.

I love the game, by the way. Put in a little over an today, now that I finally beat Dragon's Dogma.

Fifstar · « **Reply #36 on:** June 29, 2012, 07:30:23 PM »

I love how much repetitive crap they cut, like that healing/resting is just done by walking inside a town instead of each time going to the inn. Cleaned Silvar.
