The familiar worlds like you’ve never seen before.

Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire and Ultima: Worlds of Adventure 2: Martian Dreams are available now on GOG.com for free, courtesy of GOG.com and Electronic Arts.

Lord British presents two adventures you would never think are possible in Ultima universe. Players of the Ultima series may recall that the black moonstone the Avatar found at the start of Ultima 6 can be used to teleport you anyplace and anytime. That is why ORIGIN Systems have, using the Ultima 6 engine, sent the gamers worldwide on two unexpected journeys in both space and time.

First, the Avatar travels to the time-lost land of Eodon, where dinosaurs still rule and ancient mysteries abound. Basically, Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire is Ultima meets The Lost World with simplified RPG elements; it’s a fun jungle epic with a change in pace you will welcome with open arms. If you’ve never played any Ultima games, The Savage Empire is a good place to start. Explore jungles and wastelands, cross lava flows, encounter stone-age tribes, and battle the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex right now for the unbeatable price of absolutely zilch.

Ultima: Worlds of Adventure 2: Martian Dreams takes the Avatar and his friend Dr Spector to the year 1893 to witness a launch of a space cannon aimed at Mars. No, you haven’t forgotten some important lessons from history--this is an alternate universe version of Earth, but you will definitely recognise a lot of the people in it. You will interact with many historical figures as Marie Curie, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Theodore Roosvelt, H.G Wells, and dozens more. After reaching Mars, you will have to survive the hostile environment and battle strange plants and monsters as you explore the surface of Mars. Enjoy this historical world of adventure, completely free of charge and free of any DRM only on your favorite distribution platfrom, GOG.com.

Check out these free games, but also be sure to check out the rest of the Ultima series, if you haven’t gotten in on GOG.com yet, because there are thousands of hours of incredible RPG goodness locked away in these titles, and it would be a shame to miss a single minute of it.

Those release would not be possible without help from Joe Garrity, and Steven "Xe Dragon" Dengler, Marc "Sergorn Dragon" Charlot, and Pix. Thanks!
Thank you, GOG.

Gazoinks: One question: Does anyone have a list of controls or an intro tutorial or some such? I can't find anything in the manuals and I'm not entirely sure how to save or do some other stuff (like switch items between party members or use items like the crowbar on stuff).
Read the reference card, it's all in there. Many old games used to have have a separate card for the key bindings like this.

Gazoinks: This looks like a good way of getting into the Ultima series in a somewhat more accessible way than IV. Thanks muchly for the awesome free stuff. :D

One question: Does anyone have a list of controls or an intro tutorial or some such? I can't find anything in the manuals and I'm not entirely sure how to save or do some other stuff (like switch items between party members or use items like the crowbar on stuff).

EDIT: It says I have to run INSTALL to delete my old character and make a new one. How do I do that with the GOG version?

EDIT2: I think I've figured out most of the controls and such, so nevermind that. Didn't realize you could use the action command thingies in your inventory. Any tips would be appreciated though. :) One last thing: Is there a way of looking at the stats of an item?
FYI... These games don't really have much to do with the Ultima series, in story or in gameplay. If my memory serves, they started out life as completely different games but were given the Ultima moniker to bolster sales. They are still great games, but don't expect them to be anything like an Ultima game. :)
thanx for the games
Thanks GOG!
Thank you very much. Being an Ultima (original games, not the online ones) fan, I really wanted to play these games bad when they came out but could never locate a copy as they were very hard to find. Later on when I had access to the internet, a used copy was always way over priced. Now I can finally play these two classics with a clear conscience. Thanks again.
Thank you, GOG, for:

1. Existing
2. Being AWESOME
3. Caring for us gamers with fond memories of past games
4. Making buying and downloading games fun!
5. See #2, take it to the Nth power

I am so glad I found you...
I just want to say thanks, this is such an awesome website.
You've got to love GOG.
This is just one of the many reasons why GOG "ROCKS'. Many thanks,GOG.
