Well I was certainly suprised to come across this "museum".
I was browsing "Morrowind" mods and started wondering what ever happened to Origin Systems. So I did a search and here I am.
I used to play Ultimas III, IV & V consistently back in the day. I was so inthrawled with the game that I eventually wrote a letter to Richard Garriott (Lord British) asking questions about how he got started and the like. Fan mail being what it is I never expected an actual reply but I got one! A personal letter from Richard Garriott explaining how his father was an astronaut and his mother an artist and how he got started. It was an excellent letter and quite an exciting day for me.
I really appreciate the fact he took the time to do that so naturally I'm curious as to what he's doing these days and if he ever plans to "get back in the game".
I've been browsing the museum and have found it particularly enjoyable. Brings back a lot of fond memories. I didn't realize "Mariah" was a real person. That was one of my favorite characters. I recall dropping off the other party members just so I could take Mariah out and level her up turning her into a formidable "battlemage".
Some years ago I bought the "Ultima Collection" CD for PC. It's certainly not a collectors item at this point but at least I can play the games I used to enjoy.
Thank you for all your effort.
