vga256thanks to the videogame history foundation, we now have audio extracted from a DAT tape that was recorded during the production of Ultima VII: The Black Gate.voiced by Bill Johnson, the tape contains one hour of The Guardian taunting the avatar. the first minute is the exact monologue used in the intro to the game.source: <a href="https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/f08cd613-0509-488e-a5e7-160bcbe15117" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/f08cd613-0509-488e-a5e7-160bcbe15117</a><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/ultima" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ultima</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/dosgaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dosgaming</a>

XtoFAfter nearly 35 years, it’s time to go back to the Valley of Eodon. 🦖My father brought back an Origin System demo disk from the 1990 Las Vegas CES and I was mesmerized by the non-interactive demos announcing Savage Empire and Wing Commander. I spent a good amount of my money to buy them when the became available in France.Unfortunately I was a bit young for the Worlds of Ultima. And the lack of a French translation did not help 😅Today, I hope I’m ready for the challenge 🙂<a href="https://shelter.moe/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a> <a href="https://shelter.moe/tags/msdos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#msdos</a> <a href="https://shelter.moe/tags/ultima" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ultima</a>

vga256a few years ago i bought a box of old PC games locally.one of the games was Ultima V. today i finally had a chance to go through its contents, and inside i found a thick coil notebook, full of notes, written by its owner "Brent" about 30 years earlier.he judiciously took notes on every location, npc, spell, reagent and quest in the game.here's to you brent 🍻 i absolutely love these very personal ephemera i sometimes find in old games.<a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/ultima" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ultima</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/bigboxgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bigboxgames</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/msdos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#msdos</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/dosgaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dosgaming</a>

vga256when i was a kid, you could build a simple game or application by dragging and dropping a few UI controls, and gluing them together with a few dozen lines of BASIC or Pascal or HyperTalk. it might take 15 minutes, at most, to get your little character walking around on the screen. this is how we ended up with a lot of hilariously good and cheap shareware you could share on BBSes in the 90s.for the past year i've been quietly working on building a software thingie that doesn't exist anymore. i've been building a software toolkit that's kinda like Visual Basic and HyperCard and Borland Delphi, designed for making tile-based 2d games.i've been using it to build my own little goofy games, and improving on the drag'n'drop IDE as i figuring things out. it's not done yet, and has a long ways to go before it's ready for other people to start making their own little applications and games. think PICO-8 or ZZT if they had grown up on a steady diet of Windows 3.1 and GeoWorks Ensemble instead.i'm really, really bad about polishing turds to infinity and never releasing them. to break that habit, i've built a mini-website for the IDE/Shareware Creation Kit. it's called Exigy, named like a bad 80s metal hair band or richard garriott game.<a href="https://exigy.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://exigy.org</a>i'll be posting weekly blog/devlog updates there, so i don't irritate anyone with them on this account. there is an rss feed button at the top right if you hate my demonic php and css.<a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/shareware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shareware</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/ultima" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ultima</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/php" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#php</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blog</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/smolweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smolweb</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/zzt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zzt</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/indiedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indiedev</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/hypercard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hypercard</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/vintageApple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vintageApple</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/exigy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exigy</a>

vga256back in 1997, just after the Ultima Online beta, Origin/EA offered a special Charter Edition of the game. It could only be ordered directly from origin.ea.com, or by telephone order, and shipped on launch day.The box came with an official letter from Lord British, a gorgeous print of a painting by the brothers hildebrandt, a pewter UO pin, a cloth map, and a specially-labeled game cd.My used box, bought cheaply many years ago, came with none of these things. i'm treating it like a little curio box or treasure chest, and slowly filling it with UO memorabilia as I dig it out of my archives, or find replacement pieces on ebay.Today the original CD-ROM arrived in the mail, and I was able to add it to the box. i realize this matters no to one else, but I love reuniting alienated pieces of a game with one another, until it is a complete whole once again.<a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/mmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mmo</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/retroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retroGaming</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/Ultima" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ultima</a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/bigboxgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bigboxgames</a>
