Hehe...I remember shlepping that box around throughout most of the game,
wondering what the heck it could possibly be. My Dad thought it was a coffin,
and that at the end of the game you would find Lord British's corpse and have to
bring it back in the box. : )

Subject: RE: [SWCollect] Vintage games w/fatal flawsYeah, you're correct about being kicked back to the top of the Abyss. Pretty uncool.Another Ultima with a big problem is Ultima 5. When you find Lord British in the mirror at the bottom of the Dungeon Doom, which is at the bottom of the Underworld, if you do NOT have the Sandalwood Box that's hidden behind his bookcase in his magically locked bedroom atop Castle Britannia, you are screwed and are stuck in the room with him forever. If you do have the box, the game ends normally. And you don't get any kind of warning whatsoever that this will happen.- John-----Original Message-----

OK let's see if my memory doesn't betray me (again!)
It was Ultima 4, but "veramocor" was the word used to get into the final dungeon, not the word to be used in the end of it.
In the end, the word "infinity" had to be used (after the principles and its virtues), but if you typed the wrong word you'd get kicked back to the surface.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. It's been quite some time since I played Ultima 4.
