525.1Ultima fan from way backCADSYS::DALTONWed Jul 05 1989 14:3810
    I have it and I'm going to start playing just a soon as I finish DM :^)
    I have messed around with it some and it looks very good, I love the
    Ultima series (solved I,II,and III) and this one looks like the best
    so far, it's supposed to be very big, and the magic system is more
    realistic.
    
    Dunno, about Ultima V, I hope they release it for the ST... haven't
    heard anything from Origin. Maybe someone should get there phone
    number and inquire. I think they're in MA?

    Well I've been waiting for Ultima V for ages, but I've just given
    up waiting and ordered Ultima IV instead.
    
    My last call to the local computer shop, however, was more successful.
    They expect to get it by the end of the month.

    It's a role-playing adventure game. Action takes place over an
    extremely large playing area. You have a main mission (which when
    achieved wins the game) but to achieve this, many sub-quests must
    be solved first. Your party originally consists of just yourself,
    but you meet people on your travels who you can invite to join
    you. Graphics are looking down on the map apart from in dungeons
    and during combat.

525.7Buy Ultima IV, it's great!DDIF::BRAMHALLWescott Bramhall (age 12)Sun Jul 23 1989 23:5514
    Hello, I know someone has given you a brief summary about Ultima IV,
    but stick with me.
    I solved Ultima III, and then my dad bought Ultima IV. I've been
    working on it with a friend and have completed a lot of it.  It said on
    the package "16 times larger than Ultima III".  You and your party
    search for pieces of the avatar. But first you must learn to use them. 
    You have to be Sacrificial, honest, honorable, compassionate,
    valiant, humble, jnd spirituality.  It . It gets kind of boring because
    you can't die but it is a very good game.

525.8CURRNT::BADMANYou're ugly, but you intrigue me!Thu Aug 03 1989 09:1413
    I've got it now! I've several late nights playing it!
    
    It is VERY good. The gameplay is good, the dungeons are ingenious
    and character interaction really makes the game. There are lots
    of hidden jokes in the game too. For example, I found a small boy
    in a town and talked to him. He said he worked for Mr Jones. I asked
    him about Mr Jones and he said "Indy's away on a quest!". I wonder
    if I can get Indiana Jones to join my party; should make the game
    a lot easier !!!!
