Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar Origin1985
[4]***
[48]***Ultima IV is an RPG like none other before or since. There is no final boss to defeat and no princess (or artifact) to liberate. Rather, this game puts you on an almost spiritual journey to improve yourself in eight 'virtues' - Humility, Spirituality, Valor, Justice, Sacrifice, Honesty, and so on. Just about anything you can do in the game affects how you progress down this road: You must not steal, run from battles, or attack retreating enemies if you have any hope of winning the game. Once you have fully developed your eight virtues, you become the 'Avatar' - the embodiment of all that is good in Humanity - and the true nature of the quest is revealed. This unique RPG is definitely not for everybody, but it's still worth a try... especially for people who believe there can be nothing worthwhile in a video game.***Comes on two 5.25 inch disks, 4 sides, optionally supports 2 drives.

Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness Origin1986MSRP: $39.95

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.

A remake of the first game in the The Age of Darkness trilogy from the Ultima series of games. Origin rewrote the original Ultima in assembly language and updated the graphics. Some minor changes to place and people names were also made. The game did not have the "Age of Darkness" title, it was just plain "Ultima I". But a book was includes with the title "The First Age of Darkness".

In the box for this version was the 5.25" disk, The First Age of Darkness book, player reference card, four cardboard maps, and a cloth bag of coins, 1 gold, 3 silver, 1 copper (not the real minerals). This version was published by Origin themselves.
