One Fan Versus Sixty Origin Games (May 20, 2009)

[ChrisReid]

Pix is currently in the middle of an impressive undertaking. He's created "another" 'blog' dedicated to playing through Origin games. What began as an Ultima playthrough last summer has expanded to quite a few classic series. The writeups of his experiences are quite thorough and complete with interesting anecdotes and pictures. New entries in Pix's Origin Adventures can be found here. Scroll down to the bottom right of any page to see a category listing with links to numerous Wing Commander and other OSI games that he's covered so far.

In this blog, I’m going to attempt to play through all Ultima related games and every game ever published by Origin Systems in roughly chronological order starting with 1979’s Akalabeth through to Ultima 9.
I’ve been a fan of Origin’s games for years and went as far as collecting them all but have yet to play half of them at all, never mind getting to the end. There’s a grand total of 60 games and I’m expecting to take around a year or so to get through the lot.

This is quite the undertaking. I salute this guy for going through the effort.

I'll be doing something a bit similar. Not for all of the Origin games, but I'll give the Ultima series up to #7 a video treatment down the road.
