Ultima VI: The False Prophet

One of my all time favorite games. I was 16 when it came out and it pretty much took over my life, and if your alternative was walking the streets of rural Northern Ireland then you would have picked this too. It is one of the few Amiga games I still hold onto, just in case I ever buy another working machine.

This was the one that brought me into the whole Ultima series. It was also the first Amiga game i knew that had to be installed to either 4 floppy disks or on a hard drive. My first experience with Ultima 6 was on a A500 with 2 floppy drives, but still, i loved the game. BTW, my Amiga version had a paper map, too. The PC version and the C64 version had both a cloth map. The black stone, representing the Orb of the Moons seemed to be identical in all three versions.

The first game to really awe me. The wastness and the free gameplay really was a new thing to me. Although I played it on the PC I can imagine that the concept and originality carried over to the Amiga. One of my first loves. I might try it later on my Amiga Though I doubt it will give me the same thrill as it did in the days, eyeballing the PC.

Origin hosed the Amiga players on this one. IBM players got a Cloth Map and a nice Piece of Black Obsidian with their game. Amiga owners, (for the same retail price), got a paper map, and a cheesy piece of Hematite. The Amiga version did not make use of the Amiga's hardware to scroll the game, (it would appear they just used some kind of Generic 68000 code for the game). This resulted in terrible scrolling and all around poor game play. Bottom line, a "Slap in the Face Lowgrade Portover".

This definitely IS the best computer based RPG ever made. Awesome graphics and soundtrack, mindboggling vast and non-linear plot. Do whatever you want in Britannia, bake bread or check out what those Gargoyles freak out about. It's up to you, step into the moongate...

A masterpiece. But too slow on A500. Better play it
on a PC -- a i486 that is

Don't even try this masterpiece on A500 with single floppy drive. 030+ and HD is the way to go. On 060 the game really flies! Too fast actually.

I really wanted to finish this one!.. The game was begging to be finished, but unfortunately the game beat me instead, great graphics of course, nice music, but almost no sound, but really, there wasn't much tile-sets in the game, and everything looked the same, and getting lost is just too easy, also it played slow motion too. I knew what to do, it just too long, months of work which would take a few days if using a fast PC instead compared to a slow Amiga 500.
