I played Ultima Viii Pagan hundreds of times, beginning probably in November 1994. I think this game is highly underrated, and very unfairly so. As a matter of fact, the version that came to be known as Gold Edition is a patch that made lots of things much easier to the player, and, IMO, this made the game rather bad. Jumping on moving platforms became super easy, the Wisdom Trial became rather easy, and so on. The first version seems to be nowhere to be found, almost like the Lost Vale data. Fortunately, I still have a copy of the first version. One of these days, I will go in this world one more time, to remember the old days. By the way, I still have material from those times on me website, in a page entitled Pagan The Beautiful. Best Wishes to all, Julio Siqueira
