This is one of my all-time favorite games (as evidenced by the amount of time I spent playing it over the last two weeks). I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I liked your review, but I’d argue there’s more to it than was shown. Legitimately, I’ve played it off and on since it came out, and I still find new things. It may not hold up to a lot of modern games, or be as long as the regular Ultima games, but it’s a lot of fun even today. Thank you for doing a review to keep it in the collective awareness.
@@CrystalPhoenixHobbies I'm sure there is! I do know I missee the two alternate endings, so I'm sure there's other stuff I missed as well. All of these games have a lot hiding beneath the surface :)
Fun Factoid: at the 0:22 mark Richard was standing in my Software Etc store that I worked at in Barton Creek Mall (Austin, TX). This was the closest software store to their office at the time, ~10 miles away (@Wild Basin Dr) so they would all come in often to ask how sales have been and to meet and talk to customers.
After watching Spoony's Ultima series again, I was looking for someone to get into Worlds of Ultima and was so happy to find this. Please play the other Worlds of Ultima game ASAP and create the video for it. Love this video! Great job!
There is a small addition to the ending cutscene if you confess to Aiela before clearing the last bit. Also, you missed the hidden area with an Ultima 6 cameo character (and more rifles and bullets).
Does the spinoff such as World Of Ultima: The Savage Empire and World Of Ultima: Martian Dream are worthy and better compare to some Ultima game from its main series, particularly like Ultima 6-9??
I wouldn't say they are any better than 6 or 7 but they are still very good and worthy of being Ultima titles. The stories are both good, especially Martian Dreams, and have inventive settings.
Can I ask what your source for the same-sex romance idea is? I'm researching the game myself and saw this referenced in Andrea Contato's book, but the way its worded makes it unclear whether this was in response to Contato posing the question after the female avatar topic (especially in the context of Beeman) or whether they actually considered doing it themselves.
@@MSDOSProject 😁 It's OK, I shot an email to him and he replied immediately. To paraphrase, he said different people had different takeaways from that meeting :)
Yeah I've definitely found that to be true lol. The memory can cheat and people will often misremember details between retellings so it can be hard to know is true sometimes.
Quick note: It is 100 perent possible to have gay sex as either a male or female avatar in Ultima 6. While a homosexual relationship might've been too far for Origin in 1990, gay sex was NOT.
@@MSDOSProject Long before Grand Theft Auto, there were the gypsies North of Trinsic. Awesome video! I really need to play through Savage Empire, been on my list for about 30 years now.

Glad to see you back.
Thank you! I'm glad to be back!

Dang that's super cool! I love to hear how people are personally connected to the series
Glad to see one of my favorite RUclipsrs is back!
Aw thank you! I'm definitely trying to stay back this time 😛

I will be playing martian dreams as soon as I finish Ultima underworld!
Excellent content
Thank you!
Excellent rundown
Glad you enjoyed it!
The most memorable track was probably the combat one. It used to startle me as a kid when it kicked in.
Yes the combat music is definitely the one that really stuck with me more than the rest
Dont stop
I'm still going! Just been busy. The Ultima Underworld script is almost done so I'll try to have that video out next week!

I definitely missed that ending. And yeah I know what area you are talking about I just totally lost in my wholr script haha

Yeah they were definitely doing something for the teen boys here 😅

That my source lol so if you're unsure then I am 😅

Ahhh ok. Well I'm glad to not be entirely misleading people.
@@MSDOSProject No worries, I run into contradictory statements (sometimes from the same person) all the time when researching my vids 😁
Yeah I've definitely found that to be true lol. The memory can cheat and people will often misremember details between retellings so it can be hard to know is true sometimes.
Aww, you didn’t post the other two endings.
There's other endings?!? Of course I missed this 🤦♂️😅
@@MSDOSProject yes! There’s the one you posted, but also a happy ending and sad ending!
@@JaOnHillman dang, I'll have to look up how to get those
@@MSDOSProject Check the walkthrough on Dino's Ultima Page ;)
Who's Robert Garriot? Richard's evil brother?
It is his older brother lol.

Yes I remember that group of gypsies XD. I totally forgot about that in context lol
