I get to interview a dev and 3 years later that studio & game get canned.

Maybe I shouldn’t try interviewing devs in future…

Ultima V was the first game I ever bought, even though it cost me a fortune in pocket money.

I wouldn’t be interested in a new Ultima Online, but a modern remake of Ultima IV would kick major ass.

I guess the crisis is hitting hard the companies and one sallary is more than enough nowadays to try to make a good game!

Awesomez (though essentially just a really good port, initially done on OS 8, iirc).

Ultima Online rocked. The simulation approach, where even the economy was initially closed, was incredible. But then the glut of caps and shoes on the market drove prices so far down… I still go back for a month every year and a half or so. And I still hate PvP with a passion thanks to [the original flavor of] UO. Hopefully they’ll keep the original online even if they remake.

Which shard? Here’s your guide: Chesapeake. ;^)

My favourite waste of time at school back then, skipped quite a few classes by sitting in the computer room, running around and fighting monsters. Hours and hours of wasted studying…

Kind of feel the closet opening again… :D

C out
