This definitely is the most complex and ellaborate calculator game yet! Since I can't wait for it, I got Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar for SMS. It's fairly complex and hard to get the hang of, but maybe that's cause I started it at 2 am. I also got Ultima 1 to 6 for C64, are those better than the NES conversions? (yay for GP32

)

Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar is a great game. It is still considered by most as the best classic RPG of all time. It was a quantum leap for RPGs in the 80s.

Ultima IV and especially Ultima V are cumbersome on the C64. So much disk swapping. But, they are worth it.

Ultima V on NES does not have the entire gameplay and storyline as all of the other versions of U5.

I have been playing U5 on my GP32 also :ru13z:

awesome! just wondering, will there be an item that can turn day to night just so u can use moongates

There is an 8th circle non-combat magic spell called "Vas Rel Por" that will summon a moongate on demand.

Yeah, like in Zelda:Majora's Mask (sp??). Btw, it looks nice, it would be cool if someone would port to the 83, but it would take up alot of memory.

Thanks BCTurk! Well... The original Ultima V required over 1Mb of disk space. I have managed to trim that to 550Kb. Then I compress it down to about 210Kb. It could possibly be done for an 83+ but some unnecessary details would need to be removed.

Yes, def an app, and monochrome. I don't know how many tiles are in the game, but I assume you would have to use a 255 pic type thing. It would also be alot eaiser to do in asm then BASIC.

I'm sure it could be done in Basic, though it would be huge.

If someone would like to attempt an Ultima V remake for the Z80 calcs, I would be willing to provide all necessary game details and data.

Ultima I, II, and III would definitely fit nicely on the 83+. Ultima IV may push the memory limits of the 83+. I would recommend U3 or U4.

A full implementation of Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar on the TI-83+ would be a technical achievement. That would be cool! B)

Hmmm... any takers?

Yes it would take a while... probably 12 to 18 months to complete Ultima IV.

I have been working on Ultima V for 18 months now. I plan on having it complete in around 6 months from now... God willing. For a grand total of 2 years.
