Thanks for that!
I read through the Ultima 7 log and here are some things I thought were real interessting:
"Ultima 8 should require about the same as Ultima 7...
something like a 16 MHz 386 with 2-4 MB of memory and a mouse"
I had a 486 with 25 Mhz and 4 MB and it was real HARD to play ...
"Bounty Hunter"
Does anybody know anything about this? Never heard about it ...
"One of the items you mentioned in the interview was future technologies related to interacting in the..
(9-34,Crusader) Is multi-player Ultima in the future (I seem to remeber this
as..."
(9-9,Game Bytes) Ultima world, such as VR goggles, etc.
-"contains technology innovations much along the lines to which you referred..."
I remember when everybody thought those ugly goggles will be normal in a couple of years.. Back then a friend played Duke3D with those and a glove and it wasnt real great. Im glad we are not all looking like some spacy geeks with a big helmet sitting in the cellar..or are we?Hmm..
"Phoenix Force, a Strike Commander sequel"
Was that renamed to pacific strike or was it cancelled?
"(9-4,Lord British & Co.) Okay...
At this time, the 3D technology seen in Underworld cannot quite give you
the holistic world view and interaction...
that we enjoy in Ultima 7...
The number of items to interact with must be kept low to keep performance
high in a game like Underworld...
but the gap closes...
I am sure that not too far in the future, these two product lines will
merge..."
That is Ultima 9 I think. Too bad, it was crippled by the means of E and A.
