During your quests, you’ll encounter more than 50 types of fantastic creatures and monsters.

It’s the return of the best selling role-playing game of all time and Lord British’s greatest masterpiece ever. Key Features
The Beginning Akalabeth Release date: 1979 Platform: Apple II Many years ago, the Dark Lord Mondain traversed the lands of Akalabeth spreading evil and death as he passed, and he opened countless dungeons to bend the world to his will. Lord British, a mighty mage and champion from a distant world, resolved to lead the people of the land in opposition to Mondain’s magical terrors, offering magical rewards to those brave enough to enter the dungeons and face the evils therein in combat. ‘Tis thy duty to help rid Akalabeth of the foul beasts which infest it, whilst trying to stay alive! The Age of Darkness Trilogy Ultima Release date: 1980 Platforms: Apple II, PC Mondain the Wizard wrought his malice over the realm. He had slain his own father so he might gain the Gem of Immortality and advance his dark dominion over the land. It was against Mondain that you first answered the call of Lord British. Now you must travel through the Moongate to put an end to Mondain’s shadowy plans, while he plays a waiting game, knowing that time is on his side. Ultima II: Revenge of the Enchantress Release date: 1982 Platforms: Apple II; Atari 800/1600; Commodore 64; PC The triumph of good was short-lived. Mondain left behind an apprentice and consort named Minax, a cold-blooded young woman whose ambition was exceeded only by her thirst for blood. Entire legions of evil creatures responded to her commands, bringing misery to the inhabitants of Sosaria. You must rise to the challenge to slay Minax’s vile minions, until at last she too, meets her fate at your hands. Ultima III: Exodus Release date: 1983 Platforms: Apple II, Commodore 64; Commodore AMIGA; 8-bit Nintendo; PC Mondain and Minax devised a treacherous scheme to ensure their immortality throughout time. They created an offspring known as Exodus, who rose from the murky depths of the Great Ocean to unleash an assault of vengeance upon the world. Aided by the enigmatic Timelord, you must foil the mighty Exodus to bring an end to the Cycle of Doom begun by Mondain. The Age of Enlightenment Trilogy Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar Release date: 1985 Platforms: Apple II; Commodore 64; Commodore AMIGA; 8-bit Nintendo; PC Lord British sought a new era of peace and harmony for the lands of Britannia. Evil needed to be vanquished, not only in its physical manifestations, but also in the hearts and minds of all people in the realm. An Avatar, a shining example of virtue and heroism, was needed to show the way. In order to attain the title of Avatar, you must first discover the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom from the bottom of the Great Stygian Abyss. As the Avatar, you embody the Eight Virtues: compassion, justice, honor, valor, humility, sacrifice, honesty and spirituality. Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny Release date: 1988 Platforms: Apple II; Commodore 64/128; Commodore AMIGA; 8-bit Nintendo; Atari 800/1600; Mac; PC The acquisition of the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom created a karmic imbalance in the universe, resulting in the emergence of three sinister Shadowlords from the shards of the black jewel of Mondain. Through their trickery and deceit, they imprisoned Lord British in their underworld dungeon, and compelled the leaders of Britannia to oppress the people. The once noble Lord Blackthorn became the human agent who fulfilled their evil intent. However, with your efforts to apply the principles of truth, love and courage, you enable Lord British to banish the Shadowlords and their agents from the realm of light. Ultima VI: The False Prophet Release date: 1990 Platform: PC As the Avatar you ventured from the sunlit shores of Britannia and entered a Moongate that took you to the exotic and unbeknown land of the Gargoyles. After nearly being sacrificed on a Gargish alter, you were rescued with the help of your friends Iolo, Dupre and Shamino. You discovered that Lord British’s liberation from prison caused a mass destruction of the underworld, and the Gargoyles have taken over the eight shrines. They seek the Codex of Wisdom that has been taken from them. Without it, their world is crumbling. The Guardian Trilogy Ultima VII: The Black Gate Release date: 1992 Platforms: PC Once again the Avatar traveled to Britannia, where his adopted homeland was in turmoil. Under the leadership of Baitlin, a strange movement known as “the Fellowship” swept the land and took hold of the people’s minds and hearts. The sinister figure known as the Guardian was also linked to the series of mysterious murders throughout the land. The Avatar discovers the scope of the threat is far greater than anyone imagined, and will need to master the arts of investigation and detection to solve the secret of the Black Gate. Ultima VII: Forge of Virtue (Add-on for Black Gate) Release date: 1992 Platforms: PC The Isle of Fire rose from the Sea of Britannia. You were drawn to its shores for the monstrous and mechanical challenges it possessed. As the Avatar, you must brave the dangers to obtain the powerful Daemonsword, and prevent the rebirth of the evil Exodus. Ultima VII part 2: Serpent Isle Release date: 1993 Platforms: PC Eighteen months passed since you thwarted the Guardian in a seeming victory. You find yourself in a strange, yet familiar world called Serpent Isle, settled hundreds of years ago by Britannian refugees. Vital questions remain unanswered, and deep mysteries remain unsolved, as you attempt to hinder the Guardian’s evil plot to destroy Serpent Isle and Britannia. Ultima VII part 2: The Silver Seed (Add-on for Serpent Isle) Release date: 1993 Platform: PC The quest to save the Serpent Isle took you to a mysterious war-torn past that held the key to the future. It is here that the Avatar learned the principles and history of the culture. With these adventures, you will come back through time more powerful than before — with the Seed needed to heal the devastated land. Ultima VIII: Pagan Release date: 1994 Platform: PC Time and again you proved yourself a powerful threat to the Guardian’s plans. Then he deposited you on a distant world where his forces held absolute command. The rules are different here. Without allies or even a familiar frame of reference, you must defeat and harness the powers of the ruling Elemental Titans in order to return to Britannia. The Internet Ultima Online Release date: 1997 Platform: PC Multiple stray shards from Mondain’s Gem of Immortality have created alternate, parallel worlds within the Ultima universe, each with its own set of rules. Live, fight, quest, love or hate in a world where every action you take affects the lives of others. Go beyond life as you know it to an adventure more fantastic than you can imagine. |
