BTW Chris I read through that entire screen by screen walkthru for Ultima4p2. It kicked total ass.
The combination of your in game humor and the player's equally hilarious commentary made for the most entertaining forum read I have ever experienced.
I can't imagine a better form of praise to you the game designer. I can only hope that some day one of my games will achieve that kind of acclaim.
You did an incredible job on that game. I noticed you made a list of things at the end that the reviewer missed and some 80's trivia about the various sources of inspiration that went into the game. Did you ever watch any of those entertaining game review videos on youtube where the reviewer is actually playing the game, the video is just a screen capture of the game window in play, while the player or players are talking about what they are doing, and adding their own entertaining commentary along the way.
Some of them suck, but some are like that review of your game. Anyway I thought it would be really cool if you or somebody did a video review of your game in play and talking about it.
Even better would be to have two people talking to each other reminiscing about the original Ultima and the good ol days of retro gaming and trivia about 80's culture, traditional fantasy RPGs in general, and musing on the familiar old annoyances, crpg concepts and so on from 80's games, all while playing UltimaIV Part II.
What better place than here at Jolt Country to find such folks who would totally pull something like this off! The obvious choice would be you and the IF legend himself Robb Sherwin [ICJ]! Or Rob and his friends. Man, that would be some serious entertainment!
