Description

As the story goes, the wizard Mondain was intent on world domination. Over 1,000 years ago, he created the gem of immortality and granted him invincibility. Mondain is evil. The gem of immortality is evil. These are indisputable facts because it says to in the playbook. However, you won't be seeing Mondain doing anything evil in the present world and time. The player controls a stranger from another world (Earth) come to the land Sosaria to save it and its people from Mondain. The fact that Mondain is immortal and invincibility makes this a difficult task. So the stranger will travel back in time to kill Mondain before he creates his gem.

Ported from the Apple to original version (not the remake) by Sigma Micro. The first game in the The Age of Darkness trilogy from the Ultima series of games. The 5.25" disk, 12 page manual, and Atari reference card came in a Box for the Atari 8-bit version. This version was by a different publisher, Sierra On-Line, and branded as one of the "SIERRAVENTURE" series.
