I have to add a small bit of trivia here... Lord British, as well as Iolo
and many other names in the Ultima games were all characters that Garriott
and his friends played in their D&D campaign. I learned this not from a
book, but back in my freshman year of college, I worked at the computer lab
n the
name Lord British by his schoolmates. It was a sarcastic jibe at the way he
spoke (very proper English).

Jim,
You are not alone -- I too love Origin but cannot stand Ultima! I'll take the Might
& Magic line over Ultima any day. As for the British moniker, Garriot himself said
he chose the handle because it sounded cool. And he was a teenager at the time.

Hi again Tom, it's great to hear from you!
Are the Atari ST versions of the Mastertronic releases as uncommon as other

Ah Pedro, those are the Mastertronic releases of the games, "budget"
releases. They are fairly uncommon. This is TomMage by the way, this in
another email address of mine. The wrist is doing well, the cut on the hand
is healing a bit slowly but all is well. Did you sell your CPC Ultima?
TTYL!!
Hi,
I got a hold on three separate Infocom games, in a package that I do not
know. I assume these are well-known, mostly by the Infocom collectors on
this list, but I sincerely hadn't seen any of these before
Let me describe them: the box itself is hard cardboard, small, about lenght
and height
33 matches
