Day 1 of exploring Ultima 1 (1981)! With classic games, I must study the reference card first.
There is a certain charm to this artwork. This game is back from when 1 person would create an entire game by themselves. The reference card art packs in a dragon, sword, shield, burly dude, a devilish-looking tree, a ship, water, a castle, and a spaceship. There is a lot going on here! And it is signed "Laura Philips". Richard Garriott hired a friend to help him. The DIY adds so much value to the package!
The GOG version is the EGA upgrade, which is deeply appreciated. This is a beautiful splash screen. I always loved the font used for the title "Ultima". I wish I knew what the font is called!
I entered the castle of Lord British and tested out the different actions that I can do. As you will see, a valuable lesson was learned!
