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.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/worlds_of_ultima_the_savage_empire][/url]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.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/ultima_worlds_of_adventure_2_martian_dreams][/url]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!

I saw this while I was at work and I couldn't wait to get home. Thank you so much for this awesome release GOG!

Despite being Ultima games, these are actually quite rare (especially Savage Empire!). For some reason I think these two games sold quite poorly, despite being truly excellent. Martian Dreams might even be better than Ultima VI!

Crazy! I would have bought both of these without hesitation, so thanks a lot!

I guess I'll make it up to you by buying tons of games I'm obviously never going to play... then again, that's not very different to what I've been doiing so far. I wish my capacity to play games was as great as my wish to play games.

A new release? On a Monday? For free? From EA? What is this madness?

pH7: So, to thank GOG at least (not sure what I could do for the others), the next two people to quote this post get to select one $5.99 GOG title each that I'll gift them.
What? Almost 40 minutes and there's no quotes? Strange...

pH7: If these two titles weren't given away freely, they'd probably been insta'buys at, say, $5.99 each. So, to thank GOG at least (not sure what I could do for the others), the next two people to quote this post get to select one $5.99 GOG title each that I'll gift them.
Can I quote you on that? ;-)

pH7: I came to this site 2-3 years ago because it looked like I'd maybe be able to purchase some games I'd been wanting to get my hands on (again) for some time, even though I live outside of USA/EU/whatever (I hate those regional restrictions). For some reason (already had or wasn't that interested in) not a single one of the freely offered games ever made it onto my GOG-shelf. I knew I'd (probably) be able to get them anytime I wanted, and I had so many other great games I hadn't even started playing, so I never really got around to add them.

That changed today, thank to GOG, Joe Garrity, Steven "Xe Dragon" Dengler, Marc "Sergorn Dragon" Charlot and Pix =)

oh God, if only had seen this earlier...
well, already 2 games anyway... ;p

Fantastic releases! If I had money they'd definitely be instabuys for me. It's only fitting that even with no money they're still instabuys. :-D

That's probably because most people don't bother to read previous posts.. =P

Thank you very much, that's very generous! I'm going to go with Colonization. It has been ages since I last played that game.

Well, I don't mind writing down keywords and quests, but I suppose there isn't an automap, eh? Darn it, and this game looks so good!

Both releases include cluebooks with maps for everything. A bit of an overkill.
Oh, there's a spyglass in MD which lets you scan a wider area around your party.
