Pretty cool to look back and reminisce of projects created together by good folks. Ultima is pretty big in my books - certainly a talented team on this one!
I started playing UO in 1997. I was 13 years old and played well into my 20’s. I am now 38 years old and this game brings me back some of the best memory’s ever.
same here, played UO beta then from release until they fucked pvp... switched to everquest but it was not the same, miss the old UO pvp soo much... some of the best memories I have as well
We're almost the same age and also started playing at around the same time. To this day UO has by far had the biggest impact of any online game I've ever played.
Ultima 7 is one of the greatest RPGs of all time even when compared against today's games (minus the graphics). It's too bad Garriott checked out post-EA acquisition, because Ultima 8 and 9 were dumpster fires.
8 got got hot fixed at least. The platforming issues got fixed. 9 was a plot issue, the worst thing that can go wrong in a game lol Pretty sure they scrapped it because online was coming out at the same time and they shifted focus to it By the time they were ready to release ascension everyone already had 3d accel cards and 9 was obsolete and had to be redone with minimal story
This is Incorrect Garriot didnt leave Origin till somewhere around early 2000. While its true that Garriot sold Origin to EA in 1992, he stayed on as CEO till he was forced out. Garriot was fully active in Ultima 8 (which released in 1994) He was also Instrumental in creating Ultima Online (Sept 1997) Which took graphics/music and sound effects directly from Ultima Online. If Garriot wouldnt have sold Origin to EA many of the games they made would have never released as Garriot didnt have the funds. He was given almost 100% creative freedom with EA Deep pockets
I cannot agree. I played Ultima 7. I was not impressed. The combat was really horrible, the gameworld was not cohesive, the lack of things like a quest journal or a good map made the experience CRAP and WASTED MY TIME, the story was unoriginal and failed at many key points when you weren't allowed to do anything that would actually resolve the plot or use magic the way magic would logically function which would have INSTANTLY resolved the plot. There was no reason why I couldn't accuse Batlan or kill Batlan. There is no reason why I couldn't immediately destroy the black gate, etc. Ultima 8's story about having to betray every single virtue you stood for and doom a world to destruction so you could go back and try saving Earth and Britannia was a far more interesting story.
I know the very early days of Ultima, the early 1980's and late 1979's may look like they are in pre alpha or beta in today's standards. But back then it's a fully polished game and revolutionary at that time, gaming was a new concept back then. Big respect to the pioneers , that evolved to the game we know and love at the later version of the games, for me the mid 1990's onward.
Hey good for you for showing the original Apple ][ versions of the early games, along with the Mockingboard music. So many of these retrospectives show the later releases, or releases on non-original platforms. Lord British did all his original coding on Apple ][ so this was his original vision. One pronunciation note, I've heard Richard Garriott pronounce it "uh-KAL-uh-beth" which still sounds wrong to me, as I grew up calling it "ACK-luh-beth" (similar to the way you pronounce it in this video)
I am glad you shown all the Ultima games from the first two to the 3rd and 4th change the series. Even the ones like Ultima Underworld and other ones too. Good Old Games has the update graphics version of 4 free. Excellent video on this wonderful and classic RPG series.
Thanks very much. Yeah I wanted to show the early ones for sure as they are some of the earliest RPG's with graphics and I included Akalabeth too. Absolutely, I love the Ultima Underworld games and their graphics and wanted to included those and the other spin offs in this one. Appreciate you checking it out!
Some of the best games ever! Spent countless hours on these, and still frustrated that my soft diskettes of UltimaIII got corrupted from overuse! T_T Great share!! 👍💝👻
I think I have only played Ultima 1 but seeing them all presented like that is really awesome. Now I feel I want to play some DOS game again! Stay awesome 😀
These were the games to play back in the day and still a lot of fun now great to see the really early ones again and the way the series has progressed an excellent share
Never played this series. I do remember a friends older brother playing one of these game in the 90's along with Command and Conquer. Excellent video👊🍻🎮
That's awesome, yeah the VI & VII era is when I got stoked on it but I'm pretty sure I played some earlier versions with my older cousin on the Apple IIe before that. UO is incredible and still going strong!
This RPG series especially goes back in time to real primitive graphics. Yeah, pretty amazing to see dungeons crawlers now and then. Thanks for checking it out!
This was an awesome evolution video, you put it together brilliantly! This games just gotten better and better, nicely done and keep them coming! Left a huge like😁🙌🔥
Wow, this brings back memories, thanks. Roamed around Sosaria for 8 months in 1986 in Ultima III because, at that time, there was no way to Google what to do next (at most are occasional tips in the PC section of newspapers). Played until Ultima IX but skipped VIII because the system requirements were too high for my PC back then. Liked Ultima and King's Quest.
Hey My Friend. 2 week i am not login. i am not well my friend. Sorry For it. I love always your gameplay and your videos. thanks for share my friend. Big like 👍👍😘
Great video. Kind of surprised you didn't include the Ultima 6 Project, sister project to Lazarus. Came out around the same time, used the same engine and everything.

Ahh Ultima V Lazarus... I was the lead world builder for that game, such fond memories!
That's awesome, must have been such a great experience working on it!
@@ClassicGameSessions It was indeed, and so many of us went on to bigger and better things!
Pretty cool to look back and reminisce of projects created together by good folks. Ultima is pretty big in my books - certainly a talented team on this one!
how were you guys able to finish tye development of games sooo fast back then
Absolutely love the soundtrack for that TC. Great job on it!
There’s a modern UO server with thousands of ppl on it called UO Outlands if anyone needs some nostalgia
I started playing UO in 1997. I was 13 years old and played well into my 20’s. I am now 38 years old and this game brings me back some of the best memory’s ever.
same here, played UO beta then from release until they fucked pvp... switched to everquest but it was not the same, miss the old UO pvp soo much... some of the best memories I have as well
If you want some of that old school feel but with a modern development, check out free shard Ultima Online Outlands, 4 years and still popping off!
get on UO Outlands brother
@@flyingmechanic1 There were so many changes. Was it early on during Renaissance or an update Afterwards?

@@GeorgeMonet Interesting. Not the majority opinion, but an interesting take.
Also prefer ultima 8 to 7. Maybe still a majority opinion…
I play on a bomb, bomb, shard called Outlands UO to this day with 3+k online at all times. Its LOVELY.
I had Ultima III for my Atari 800XL in the 80’s. Loved that game.
Amazing!
My favourite is still Ultima IV.
The music from the early games is so evocative, it takes me right back to the exciting, formative times of PC gaming
Terrific video! So many great memories of Ultima 1, 3, 4 and especially 5 (one of my fave CRPG's of all time).

It is great to see how things has evolved from a simple game to a very complex one
I enjoyed it from start to finish :D
I was born in 89. I had no idea epicness of games were playable back then
What? I was born in 89 too and I played a lot of these games as a kid.

Don't let Akalabeth looks and simplistic feel fool you, This game is the embodiment of old school difficulty. GG!
Lol, I love that you didn't show the combat from Ultima 2.

Hello my friend Great gameplay Dropping a big like for your content and continue watching 👍
I think Ultima VII was my first foray, but Online was probably the one I remember best. Especially since it was my very first MMO!
That's awesome, yeah the VI & VII era is when I got stoked on it but I'm pretty sure I played some earlier versions with my older cousin on the Apple IIe before that. UO is incredible and still going strong!
Looks great, thanks for the sweet gameplay, my friend. 🐱🐱❤️❤️
Wonderful sharing. Keep going. Stay safe always. Stay tuned.
Cool to see a franchise go from the early dungeon crawlers to what we have today. Great video!
This RPG series especially goes back in time to real primitive graphics. Yeah, pretty amazing to see dungeons crawlers now and then. Thanks for checking it out!
So cool gameplay
LoVely sharing dear. I enjoy watching. Stay in touch
I love how a franchises changed and evolved through each game, Man you giving some great nostalgia feels
There was an Ultima 10 that didn’t get released but the amazing soundtrack is finished and worth a listen.
I use to play Ultima Online year's ago, that rush of fear when you have a group of PK's on your tail.
Played the earlier games and can tell you nearly all modern RPG's own to this franchise, from Elder Scrolls to Final Fantasy
Beautiful gameplay my friend 😃🙏 + big 👍 Happy Halloween
