Hmmm... Warriors of Destiny was the 3rd Ultima for the NES. The NES only had Exodus, Quest of the Avatar, and Warriors of Destiny. Check out this website: http://www.surfing.net/ultima/ucg/u5_nes.html I'm not sure about the gameplay differences, but it says the story is considerably stripped down. Unless you are a Ultima fanatic or collector, I would not purchase this one for the NES.   But... you can play it soon on a TI calc (or emulator). My version will contain the full gameplay along with the complete storyline 1325

I just bought another Commodore 64 (well actually a C64 DTV). The DTV provides a nearly full hardware emulation of the C64.
C64 Specs: - 1 MHz 6510 CPU - 64 Kb Ram - VIC Graphics Processor (320x200 @ 16 colors) - SID Sound Processor (3 voice mono) - Video Outputs : RF, Composite, and S-Video - 1 Serial Port (daisy chain up to 4 devices) Ahhh... the good old days.

News / New Ultima screenshot and list of features« on: October 04, 2005, 03:03:00 am »
There are actually more secret items suchs as weapons, armor, spells, and unique special items.
You will learn about these items as you talk to the townfolk. I do not want to spoil the game for anyone. :x

In the Overworld (Britannia) you can always see at least one tile around you... even during the night. In the Underworld, dungeons, and basements you must have a torch to be able to see anything. Without a torch (or a magic light spell) you will see nothing but black. So... stock up on torches before you enter the dungeons. You can even steal torches from town walls (but thats not good for your virtue)... sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Torches provide enough light to see a distance of 3 tiles all around. On another note... there are other items I did not list specifically for spoiler reasons :ph43r:  THE POST 1328

Hmmm... maybe when Ultima V reaches release, I will look at adding "smooth scrolling". It seems to be very popular, even though it a tad bit blurry during the scrolling. I love the "old school" ASCII games. Keep up the good work TiFreak. 1329

Two thumbs up Spencer... way up :ru13z:
 The attention to detail is amazing. Thinking I should get a Z80 calc now. Keep up the good work 1330

It sounds very similar to Dragon Warrior... And, yes you can play this on your PC. I don't know what is more difficult; finding Ultima V for SNES or for PC. I was lucky, I found it for the PC at a consignment shop for $1. I just checked eBay, they did not have it for the SNES. I believe Ultima V for the SNES was stripped down (not all the story line and/or functionality). I could be wrong. Ultima V has the following related commands: [Look] Identify any object or terrain feature or read signs one step away. [Search] Search an object or location. Searching may detect traps on chests, concealed doors, dungeon floor traps, or reveal hidden items. [Get] Take possession of gold, food, and other items. Sorry about that previous double post.

TI 68K / Ultima V: Warriors Of Destiny, Status: Progressing« on: September 27, 2005, 02:27:00 am » Another minor update: The "look" command is now working. Now you can look in a specified direction to get a description of what you see. If a sign is present, the sign will be displayed in the Runic alphabet.

Ultima III: Exodus was a very fun game. You could kill anything and steal anything without any reprocussions. $10 seems a little steep, but it is probably a "rare" cartridge for NES. ################################################### Ultima V Update :woot: New screenshot for the TI89  and... Talking with NPCs is now dynamic. For testing purposes, I have been hard coding a NPC number to talk with. Now, it is fully dynamic. I search the list of NPCs based on XY coordinates to locate the NPC. If the NPC is found, talking begins (if the NPC feels like talking %)  )Notice the History window is now working... Cool :thumb:  This post has been edited by Kevin on 26 Sep, 2005, 9:13 THE POST |
