  1. It's #LibreMonday and I remembered a few day ago about a great game project born with the release of the #ArxFatalis source code : #ArxLibertatis arx-libertatis.org/. If you are a #UltimaUnderworld fan, this is a great game. I always like that kind of projects as it helps understanding the inside mechanics of the game.

  5. I'm not sure what's sadder about this symptom of the rampant speculative nonsense that's infected the #retrogaming scene in the last couple of years - that someone bothered to get this last-gasp, "we might still sell this old stock to someone!", Walmart-exclusive, CD-only bundle of #UltimaUnderworld 1 and 2 professionally graded, or that they've only listed it for US$110. That's like whacking a strength testing machine with all you've got and having it just make a sad trombone noise in return.

  9. @MollyNoise that's a great point, I've been playing video games since #HammurabisCode in say 1977 and fleshing out the main character in terms of family has never been a focus. "The Player" in #SidMeiersPirates rescues his family members but they only generate information and change the ending, anonymous Avatar in #UltimaUnderworld, orphaned child of a wizard in #BaldursGate , Duke in #DukeNukem who may also be an avatar of violence.

    A damn good point that!

  13. Romhack Thursday: Ultima Underworld on Playstation, in English
    The critical consensus on Ultima Underworld is that it was a high point of the Ultima franchise, a then-unique (and still fairly distinctive) kind of game, a 3D fantasy adventure released nine months before Doom, with a detai

  17. Les studios #LookingGlass c'était #UltimaUnderworld, #SystemShock, #Thief... et puis #TerraNova, infiniment moins culte et sans doute à raison. Il y avait là tout de même un petit quelque chose de fascinant, dans ces maps gigantesques qu'on parcourait en mecha pour accomplir sa mission, donnant l'impression qu'on avait une liberté d'approche totale. Je sais que quelques mois avant #Daggerfall ça m'avait donné des vibes d'open world assez vertigineuses.

  21. In case any other fans of #UltimaUnderworld follow me here, the world record time for beating the game was brought down to just over 16 and a half minutes a few months ago in this fantastic speedrun: youtube.com/watch?v=oXzrD_AdeC

  25. @stux "Greetings, Avatar. My associates and I went on a little vacation. Wish thou were here."

    (I think I'm missing a bit in the middle, but this, the opening narration from #UltimaUnderworld , has been living rent-free in my head since 1992 or so.)
