Actually I'd say the peak of Ultima writing was 6 and 7 by far. The stories are so good that frankly a lot of modern RPGs don't stand up. It's a shame EA just sits on the games and does nothing with them. With some work they could be released on systems like the PS4 or Xbox Series X and they would be great. The Super Nintendo versions of the games controlled fine but were completely gutted in terms of content and story.

I agree and disagree. :) I think Ultima 1, 2 and 3 were solid games, yet each time things were improved. When Ultima 4 and 5 hit I felt the game had really become great. The writing was amazing and the games were just about perfect. For Ultima 6 and 7 I think the writing was just as good, but the new engine was horrible to play with - it is like they tried to improve upon something that didn't need improvement at that point.

@@NeedGamesNow As someone who started at Ultima 6. It is impossible for me to play anything previously to that. The engine on 6 was the best they made. 7 got kind of goofy though with the drag and drop inventory toybox of chaos that just was a mess to deal with. If not for the inventory system, 7 would have been an improvement over 6. But nah. Everything previous to 6 was not better engine wise. If I had a wish. It would be Ultima 6 remake in VR along side Deus EX 1 Remake in VR.

It's crazy to me just how many games that feature ships try to make the sailing "realistic" by not allowing you to go against the wind, even though that's not how sailing works at all.

Interesting trivia: The "fuzzies" in Ultima 3 were inspired by the alien race of the same name in the novel Little Fuzzy and its sequels, by author H. Beam Piper. Piper was (in my opinion) a magnificently talented science fiction author whose Terro-Human Future History series deserves to stand alongside the likes of Asimov's Foundation. Sadly, he met a tragic end. When he erroneously believed he'd run out of money (his publisher had died without keeping proper paperwork), his strong libertarian values could not tolerate the idea of becoming a burden on society, so he wrote a short letter, canceled his utilities, covered his apartment with painter's tarps, and promptly shot himself with an antique pistol from his prized collection. I highly recommend his works to anyone interested in classic 1960s sci fi. His writings range in tone from the lighthearted romp Little Fuzzy (which nonetheless explores the scientific and legal ramifications of determining an alien species' sentience) to his magnum opus Space Viking, a bloody and moving tale of forging a new society out of the chaos of galactic barbarism.

Oh man, those little stripey polo shirts. I was a little tiny kid in the 80s, born in ‘82, and most pictures my ma had of me at, like, seven are wearing shirts like that. Of course, I notice the photos in this video with them are from the _early_ 1980s, and I was still wearing them until I was old enough to start putting my foot down in the early _90s,_ so clearly I was justifying in my exasperation. I DID look stupid by the standards of the time, my mother dressing me in clothing styles from a decade or more earlier. Granted, she and my father were still dressing like it was the late seventies until like the 2000s (ma in shoulder pads, perm and all) so I’m not surprised. But if I’m actually to be honest, even if you kept it going for decades beyond fashion, and that wasn’t working for ME… you looked beautiful, ma 😂

I personally like the idea of the floor being an enemy. I wrote a one shot D&D game for some friends a few years back, in which one of the characters inherited a house from an estranged family member. The house was in fact a "House Hunter" a mimic the size and shape of a house. Many of the things inside the House Hunter were either parasites living off it, smaller mimics or dead adventurers. One of the players got caught by a mimic rug that wrapped him up and tried to crush him, the party then proceeded to beat the fuck out of the rug while the other player was still trapped within, lmfao..

Having now sat down for the third installment of this wonderful series, I can say with certainty that you deserve all the credit for the work put into this. Like many of the viewers here, I first found out about Ultima through the Retrospective by TheSpoonyExperiment, and while that one can be seen as a perspective piece done by someone who grew up with these games and is gave a more life-story-esque dictation of what it felt like to be there, yours is most definitely a wonderful historical documentation. The events leading up to the game's development, as well as the thoughts and ideas that likely went into the choices in game design all lend this to be a particular brand of entertaining, and I would recommend them with much excitement. P.S. "...no jester."

Let me tell you it was pretty amazing seeing this game for the first time. I still remember playing it when it first came out ,I was around 14,and it was unlike anything else out there. The maps,the books all drew you into the world. A lot of modern games look better but frankly don't do as good a job setting up the world or putting you in the mood of the world. And without Ultima games like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest wouldn't exist,or would have been quite different.

I'm very grateful for these deep-dives but the biggest thing I'm happy about is that you, my good man, have ignited my interest in JRPGs. Yes, I know this video is about Ultima, but I felt weird commenting older videos. When I was a kid, I've ignored ALL the JRPG games on PS1, PS2 and even on PS3 because I tend to judge things on their looks. I think that when it comes to games this is a reasonable enough method, since if I don't like the look of a game - it might not catch my attention and not grow on me. I'm not talking about the 4k-super-realistic-graphics, I'm talking style! And boy, your coverings of Xenogears and Kudelka make me regret my choices... I mean, who knew that these games have such amazing themes and stories? I probably won't have enough patience to get back to older games like these, but I'm glad I could discover and experience through you, and now I'm looking forward to new entries with interest thanks to you mr. Majuular. Keep this channel cozy, it's been a great ride thus far.

Thank you for taking your time to single out the NES versions. I was always curious how they held up to their PC counterparts, and Exodus is technically the first RPG on the NES, and FAMICOM. It was also one of the first games I ever played on the NES, and I didn't know WTF I was doing.

I'm really looking forward to the look at Ultima III for the NES. That is the only version I played of the series before EA desecrated its corpse. It was very formative in my love of RPGs, having played it even before hearing about D&D.

Your series has gotten me to finally play Ultima 4 which I've had on GOG for free for like literally over a decade and after a while bumbling around I have fallen in love with it. Have avoided watching the actual U4 video until I finish it myself and will try to finish 5, 6 and 7 before you get to them on the series.

I'm really enjoying this Ultima series, I've always been curious about the games since I got into them halfway on some old NES game or other, ages ago. I've already learned a lot from the first three vids in this series of yours, and I'm eagerly looking forward to more! It's also gotten me to go back and look at some of your older vids, and I see a lot of games I like. Also some others I never played, and now I know that courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality.

I want to thank you for your content. I found your channel recently and have been binging some of your videos from the past couple years. I appreciate the depth you go into and I think you have a pleasant commentary voice (I'm not trying to sound creepy, I promise). Games like Ultimata and King's Field are games that I've always been curious about but I don't have the patience or desire to fight the jank of games that old. I enjoyed your Harvester video too. It is interesting to see the roots of video game RPGs. Your videos feel "cozy". It lets me luxuriate in the past, even though I wasn't born until '95.

If he wants to do all the roots, I'd love a Temple of Doom on the TI 99/4A video. That was my first RPG - well maybe excluding Adventure on the Atari 800, but I hate that game.
