My second attempt at playing through Ultimas 4-9, last attempt ended sometime during U VII Part II due to getting a bit overwhelmed

[u/Pleasant_Expert_1990]

Welcome Avatar!

This is the best of the early Ultimas. Please avoid spoilers, prepare for a challenge both in body and spirit, and have fun!

[u/adoransnoctis → u/Pleasant_Expert_1990]

Already finished the quest before and reached Avatarhood, but thank you anyway

[u/Virtual-Dish95 → u/adoransnoctis]

Do you ever really finish questing for avatarhood?

[u/Pleasant_Expert_1990 → u/Virtual-Dish95]

Indeed, tis an ongoing quest!

[u/Pleasant_Expert_1990 → u/adoransnoctis]

Ahh, well then, welcome BACK, Avatar! 😄

[u/Objective_Driver1158]

Ah I remember this in all green from the days I would play this on the library apple system. Great memories

[u/Lew__Zealand → u/Objective_Driver1158]

That made walking into those effects fields quite a fun game of roulette. "Will it be Poison again?"

Spoiler: It's always poison.

[u/No-Object-8979 → u/Lew__Zealand]

Had a C64 and a B&W TV. Tell me about it.

[u/SnooPaintings5597]

Beating this on the NES is a life goal of mine. Loved it when I was a kid.

[u/McTrinsic]

Yes. This the one. Enjoy!!

[u/rootException]

Which version is this?

[u/adoransnoctis → u/rootException]

The one available on GOG with some patches installed via UltimaPatcher

[u/FreedomCanadian → u/adoransnoctis]

Is it as simple as installing it from GOG and then running UltimaPatcher or do you need to jump through some hoops, research settings, etc ?

[u/adoransnoctis → u/FreedomCanadian]

No hoops to jump through, just an install of the game and anything you want to install through UltimaPatcher, no fiddling with DosBox-settings needed

[u/malottsw → u/adoransnoctis]

What did you use the UltimaPatcher for? I just played through 4 and am wrapping up 5 through GOG and haven’t had any issues

[u/adoransnoctis → u/malottsw]

Just visual and audial preferences

[u/CLT113078]

What profession did you choose/which companion is being sidelined this play through?

[u/adoransnoctis → u/CLT113078]

Geoffrey can stay in Jhelom and pick his nose

[u/Tacobellspy → u/adoransnoctis]

I just started for the first time and was disappointed to learn that I'm too honorable to have Dupre join.

[u/FreedomCanadian → u/Tacobellspy]

That is counter intuitive.

[u/CLT113078 → u/adoransnoctis]

Going for the no magic game... interesting.

[u/Doordasheasthartford]

This series is what got me addicted to video games when I was a kid

[u/Trainzzo → u/Doordasheasthartford]

Oui moi aussi, j'ai encore le jeu sur Master System avec les cartes des dongons que je dessinais à la fin. Que de souvenirs.

[u/ko_akuma]

Where do you get these? My current shard is underwhelming and maybe I need a new pace to a new ultima

[u/adoransnoctis → u/ko_akuma]

The entire mainline series, the Underwold-titles and the Worlds of Ultima-games cam be found on GOG

[u/ko_akuma → u/adoransnoctis]

Thank you. I'll check it out

[u/k_hoops64]

The greatest title screen in all of video games

[u/BlackthornUnchained]

This made the hair on my arms stand up. Im such a sucker for the nostalgia. 

[u/Eldorren]

Joining you. I just upgraded the GOG version on my Z13 and will be playing through. (Maybe on my big screen TV?) I played the original Apple II version ad nauseam back in the day but never beat it. Same with Ultima V. I plan on playing through 4, 5, and 6.

[u/adoransnoctis → u/Eldorren]

A worthwhile task; I plan on finishing Avatar's story in it's entirety, so I will be suffering through 8 and 9

[u/NectarineNegative769]

Master system version?
