This is pretty rad so far. It controls *way* smoother than I would expect a game of this age to. I haven't been able to puzzle out how to get better scores on kills. Seems like I'll be mostly getting "fair" and "good" call-outs, with the occasional random "excellent". Is it just not getting hit?

Yeah I believe your score is based on not getting hit

the combo meter also drains over time, so you can spam the Parry button to be effectively invincible but that means you'll just keep getting fair/good. don't sweat getting good combos until you unlock more stuff though.

Game 3-14



Ultima VII: The Black Gate (PC-DOS) - 1992 - Deadline 4/30/24 11:59EST

A long time of peace has gone by in Britannia, with no great threats disturbing the lives of the people. Yet, something is amiss in the land. Magic seems to be dying, with mages becoming mad. The people are unhappy and feel spiritually empty and betrayed in life. A new sect called "The Fellowship" expands its membership in the lower classes and secures influence through their prominent members who ascend to leading positions in society.





Ultima VII: The Black Gate is the seventh installment of the Ultima RPG series, released on April 16, 1992. In it, the player returns as The Avatar, a would-be paragon of moral virtue who faces down many dangers and deceptions in order to cleanse the medieval fantasy world of Britannia of assorted plots and schemes, monster infestations, and the undermining of crown authority.

ads were basically nonexistent so here's a scan of the badass cloth map that came with the game instead (click for large size)



LORD BRITISH HIMSELF EXPLAINS ULTIMA

Link to the game manual:


:siren: NOTE: The game will work in DOS but it's a pain in the rear end. Exult is a fan-made engine that makes the experience a lot smoother with a lot of QoL improvements, I recommend it :siren:

Trophies:

: Reach Britain
: Assemble of a team of five
: Find the Magic Carpet
: Acquire the Skeleton Key
: Meet the Time Lord
: Step foot on the Isle of the Avatar
: Destroy the Black Gate
: Complete all side quests (PLATINUM)

:siren:Game starts 4/1/24 12AM EST:siren:

Died on my last Crawl character of the month that I was playing little by little in Vaults 5. Playing little by little is what ended me because I forgot all about the badass bog spell I had been using along with Alistair's Intoxication and got crushed by the recall guys surrounding me over and over. yeah RIP

I remember the SNES port of Ultima 7 being weird garbage despite 6's being pretty close to the DOS version.

Ultima 7 is one of those classic RPGs I cannot look at and don't enjoy playing at all. I like 4-6. Underworld has been on my list for a potential monthly

I revisited a recent favorite and decided to avoid playing it safe and instead go for every malignant item and see what happens lol. Most weren't too bad but one malfunction that's "lose 10-15% of your health whenever you pick up an item" sucks a lot. Here's how the last run ended



And I died 25 times in this official roguelike
