HURTLE BACK IN TIME TO THE 1890’s AND ASK “WHAT IF?”

The valiant adventurer is the Avatar, hero of every Ultima story. In Martian Dreams, he travels to the Victorian era to rescue a stranded Mars expedition, but soon finds himself on an even bigger quest: to reconstruct the long-dead Martian race! This is the game that asks…


• What if an ancient race of beings had actually built canals on Mars as Percival Lowell surmised?
  
  
• What if Jules Verne and H.G. Wells had been right, and a space cannon powerful enough to send men into space had actually been constructed?
  
  
• What if a modern explorer ventured forth to rescue these stranded notables to restore their future and his own past?
