Albert Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Any of the Japanese ones come with maps? I just checked all of them (Famicom and Super Famicom games) and none have any maps. Now, that doesn't mean they didn't ship with maps, but given how complete some of these are (some have miscellaneous paperwork that seems to be the standard notices you get with every game), I'm guessing they didn't come with maps. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I feel bad for anybody who's only experienced Ultima VII on the SNES. I will try it at some point. If you really want to show off with serious Ultima finds, get the X68000 versions of Ultima V and VI, and the FM Towns version of the first trilogy. I'll add those to the list, thanks! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I remember when playing Ultima III being all excited when my characters were strong enough to beat up the guards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Another Ultima game arrives, this one still in the original shrinkwrap: Seller did a great job of packaging it, used a slightly oversized box with plenty of large bubblewrap around the game itself. And fortunately these older Origin boxes are pretty strong, so it takes a bit more effort to crush them. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I forgot to tell you, FM Towns stuff and X68000 stuff seems to be pretty expensive, but I guess you just found this out. The guys other auction for AutoDuel complete for the Apple 2 has caught my eye. I know that will end up close to 100 bucks or more by the end though.

Midnight Synergy Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 How about this one for people with too much disposable income. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 400248724957 Actually, I noticed that there have been a _ton_ of grey box Ultima II popping up on eBay lately. This is the first big box version I've seen in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite sure there's enough to open an "Ultima Museum", however, it would be an interesting section in a gaming or computing museum. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 More Ultima Books! I will have to actually read all these. Just ordered two more Ultima novels, which will bring the total to five.

I think its one of the best console versions of Ultima IV. I need to scan in my horde someday and post some pics. Keep posting them! Although I think your closing in on everything. I've been doing my own searching for Japanese maps. So far haven't found anything.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Synergy Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'm very happy to see you hijack the thread, Al... love seeing the goodies you keep getting. You're almost an Ultima Speed-Collector now. For fun, here's the state of my current Ultima collection. Most of these were acquired years ago, I haven't gotten much recently. Still hoping to find a reasonably priced Ultima I (re-release) and Ultima II (big box). A boxed Gameboy Runes of Virtue and boxed Silver Seed and Martian Dreams would be nice, too. I had the entire boxed Ultima Online series one time - got the whole log for cheap. But I'm never going to play them, so keeping them on the shelves was not justifiable, so they went to another good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
