Celebrate the Complete Collection of Ultima games on GOG.com!

We’ve got all of the Ultima games on GOG.com, and you can save up to 50% off all Ultima titles as part of our celebration of completing this iconic series.

Ultima: the name rings through the halls of PC gaming history. Source of some of the most innovative concepts in computer RPGs, and one of the best-selling RPG series ever made, it’s home to a vast variety of tense combats, difficult moral tests, and vivid characters. Anyone who’s played through the hundreds of hours of gameplay that the whole series spans has tons of fond memories: the challenges of living up to the morality of a noble champion for the first time in Ultima IV; realizing that day and night actually meant something in a game in Ultima VI, or even playing through a true 3d world in Ultima Underworld

But wait! There's more! Just to add a little more awesomeness to our ultimate cRPG series, we've prepared--with no small help from the GOG.com community--some new bonus goodies. Ultima 3 receives a spellbook for the cleric class. Ultima 6 gets an audio interview with his brittanic lordship, Richard Garriot himself. Owners of Ultima 7 can now access some game design documents, a Serpent Isle colored map and a cluebook. We didn't forget about the Pagan in the family--Ultima 8 gets a set of documents regarding the design of the Lost Vale. Even the 3D spin-off of the series gets new bonus content: quick reference cards for both Ultima Underworld games. So if you already own those games, be sure to check their cards today. If not--hurry up and grab them up to 50% off!

Bottom line: whether you’re looking to just pick up your favorite Ultima game (maybe you haven’t gotten around to it yet) or you’ve been holding out because we haven’t released your favorite one yet, now’s the best time to pick the Ultima games! You can experience the entirety of one of the best RPG series ever made--one that still influences games released today--for under $18. The promo lasts until 30 August 2012 at 10:59 AM GMT, but the glory of Ultima collection will shine on GOG.com for the foreseeable eternity.

Choose, Avatar, and choose wisely: will you tread the path of Honor, or will Brittania perish? You are being summoned to the Ultimate Ultima Promo page!

Have you tried one of these? ;)

My problem with this promo is that I was so excited to see Ultima on GOG that I bought every single one as soon as they were released. One of the reasons I initially joined GOG was in the hope that one day, Ultima would appear on the site.

I just dug up my disc copy of IX the other day but I've wanted it on GOG to have a digital copy and to complete my digital collection, at least I get IX for 50% off.

Bloodygoodgames: I did try playing Ultima IV last night (the freebie one) but didn't get past the first 10 minutes. Outdated graphics beyond anything I'm willing to play (sorry to all of you who still love the really old pixel games :), but I just can't play them) and waaaaaaay too much reading. If I wanted to read that much story, I'd turn off my computer and buy a book :)
Let me just point out that saying Ultima IV has way too much reading is pretty hilarious. Because after the (admittedly wordy) intro sequence, the longest piece of text you'll encounter in the rest of the game is shorter than this post of yours I am quoting.

The barrier of entry for Ultima IV is huge, I'm not denying that. It's a wonderful game, but until I eased my way into it through Ultimas I–III, I bounced off it several times. But "too much reading" definitely isn't a factor here. (Though you are expected to read all of the lore books included with the game. It's unplayable without them.)

(Also, Ultima games shouldn't be played without the wonderful Pix's Patcher, preconfigured to work with GOG editions. It can add music to IV and update the graphics to pretty neat 256-colour VGA.)
Thanks GOG just needed Ultima IX Ascension to complete my collection :) Looking forward to playing this since i never got around to it when it was released.
Do all of these work on Windows 7 without issues?.

Well, all Ultima games other than part 9 are DOS games, so the last one is the only one you should be concerned about.

Thanks. I suppose more relevant question is, will there be issues with these working under Windows 8 later on? ;).

As long as Dosbox creates a Windows 8 version (if needed) and Nglide(for Ultima IX) works with Win 8 then sure they will still run

Other than the odd crash in IX or VII (very infrequent) they work just fine. Enjoy!
