Description

Ultima I is a remake of the classic RPG Ultima from 1981. You must travel to another world and save the land Sosaria from the evil wizard Mondain. The game features tile based top-down overworld graphics and first person perspective pseudo-3D dungeons.

The original Ultima was re-programmed using assembly language, with updated graphics, minor changes in towns' and people's names, and some different puzzles.

Note: this is not a re-release of the original Ultima (like "Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness" or "Ultima I: The Original"), but a complete remake that was also the first Ultima game to find its way to other platforms besides Apple II and Atari 8-bit.

Trivia

Origin, like they did with many of the Ultima games, included a "trinket" in the box. In this case the trinket consisted of a small cloth bag with five metal coins.
