Ultima™ IV: Quest of the Avatar
Description
Prepare yourself for a grand adventure! Ultima™ IV, sixteen times larger than Ultima™ III, is a milestone in computer gaming. Lord British has produced a game to challenge not only your physical and mental skills, but the true fabric of your character.
The evil triad of Mondain, Minax, and the hellspawn Exodus have been vanquished and peace reigns throughout the land of Britannia. Evil yet abounds, but in isolated pockets and in the hearts of men. A new age awaits the coming of one who can conquer evil on all frontiers through mastery of both magic and the use of force. Daemons, dragons, and long-dead wizards still plague the countryside and must be destroyed. The seeker on the path of the Avatar will face hostile groups composed of mixed enemy types and will survive such encounters only by strategic use of weapons and terrain. Earthly victories over seemingly impossible odds lead to the final conflict, where the ultimate challenge - the self - awaits.

I don't know
Neutral review. I have no nostalgia tied to this game, and I can't figure out how to get it to run on my computer.

Poisoned
I must be missing something here. I spend time reading the manual. I print out a quick reference sheet. And then I start playing. I kill a few monsters. I loot some chests. I get poisoned. I go to a healer and spend 100 gold to get cured. I travel a little. I get poisoned again. I try camping. Doesn't heal the poison. I find a healer and spend 100 gold again to get cured. I travel again and immediately get poisoned. I head back to the healer. A soldier is blocking my way. Not intentionally. But he doesn't move. I move back and forth hoping that he will move, as I need a cure to this poison that I constantly get. But he doesn't move. and the poison kills me. So apparently the cure to poison is dying, but I don't like to die.

still chasing that first high...
This is the game that started it for me. I was 12 when it came out for me on the commodore 64. I remember the ending. I can't remember the ending of games I finished yesterday, let alone 25 years ago. I wont play it again because it will never live up tot the memory from when I was 12, but man, what a trip to see it here.
