You know for being a port, you can see the amount of depth a game can have even on the NES! Amazing stuff.

I beat this game when I was in 6th grade. I wanted it so bad because my Dad had played the Ultima games on his Apple II and then Ultima III for the NES. I really struggled getting my shit together and being able to focus. Wanting this game made me straighten up and focus in school more. I had color coded tabs throughout the game manual and remember chipping away at this game day after day for weeks and weeks. Brings back so many memories. Thanks for replaying this true classic and personal favorite for me.

The tree you talk to in the jail cell boosts Justice, Honor, Spirituality, and Humility. There is also no cool-down period, unlike many of the other virtue-gains, so you can just talk to it repeatedly.

Honesty is raised by talking to the camp-fire in Yew. You can do it repeatedly. As for selling items, the shopkeepers offer half the purchase price like a typical RPG. If you ask for that amount or less, you get a bonus of 4 honesty, 4 justice, 2 honor, 1 humility. If you ask for more than that amount, you get a penalty of 2 honesty, 2 justice, 2 honor, 1 humility. The notes from the SDA publication discuss the virtues a bit. See link in comment.

One of my favorite games growing up. I almost beat it when I was younger, but never found the entrance to the Abyss. Good times.~ ...and to anyone who says it should be played on an Apple II or anything like that, I say this: "Keep thine biased opinions to thyself." : )

This game is so underrated, and it is way deeper than Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy. Too bad people dont give this game any respect because it doesnt hold a candle to the dos game. It is really good!

It's probably the best console port of any pc games ever at the time. Even if it wasn't faithful like the SMS port what they did with the source material is still very impressive and creative. THIS is an example on how to create a port, not just a lazy attempt at copying the original but a carefully crafted, brand new, different and fresh experience that's on par with the original

So wonderull! It's my favourite Richard Garriot title. After so many years, I still play it on my C64. These role-playing-games had a soul! Today we have over 70% pure action adventures, merely called "RPG" not less, not more. Today, the younger generation doesn't realy know what a true RPG is.

Also, when you resell things like weapons and armor.. is there a certian set amount per item that they're willing to pay for a specific item? Or, is it something else?

Unlike Ultima V, this NES port modernized the original and made it an RPG mainstay right up there with Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy! The best home console port of any Ultima game IMO. Why the heck didn't they follow suit with Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny for the NES? WoD, one of my favorite Ultima games of all time, stripped and completely botched for its NES port. If they did anything close to this Ultima IV port, or atleast made it true to the original with some tweaking (like Ultima IV on the Sega Master System), Warriors of Destiny could have been as good or better. Sadly, its a steaming turd pile.

So how can you tell how much you have in a virtue stat?
@feasel4 жыл бұрын
They are not shown in the game so you have to keep track of them in your head or on paper. There are guides on the internet that will tell you what actions are worth how much of each stat. If you use an emulator you can also find out which memory addresses to peek at to see the stats. But for this run I was not using an emulator so I just had to plan the route and do the math ahead of time and remember exactly how many times to do each thing.
@uccidere19394 жыл бұрын
So a lot of this run is very much memory based and being very specific with each action.
@feasel4 жыл бұрын
@@uccidere1939 Everything in the run is planned in advance and executed in a specific order. The only improvisation is within some of the battles.
