No, not the drink you fools, the lost continent! (On a side note this version actually allows to continue playing after the endgame, though I am not sure about the point of it).īut now I really look forward to play Ultima IV… because indeed this is where things truly begins…

In any case, playing Ultima III was one fun ride, and the Mac remake is very much the definitive version of the game so I recommend anyone who can to play it.

I do believe the idea of not having to face directly the ennemy to destroy it to be brillant, and I am glad this is something that mostly remained in the series till the end, even when facing the Guardian in Ultima IX.Īlso it does feel somewhat dissapointing in retrospect that the machine aspect feel so much retconned out the Britannian history after this game… I mean the body of Exodus you find in Ultima VII is basically a pillar. Even today it is very rare to find a RPG which doesn’t end with a boss fight, so imagine 27 years ago! This probably must have felt anti-climatic to some, but it must also have been mindblowing and very much daring. You know I really got to wonder how people reacted back in 1983 upon reaching Exodus and facing… what is basically a computer and no “boss fight” at all. The most difficult actually remains the castle floors which attacks you before the final “boss” which caused quite a stir amongst my party… since I ended with three death and a last party member close to.īut using her last strength, my worthy wizard managed to insert the mysterious Cards to deactivate the evil machine… It was actually quite of a challenge : while Castle Death doesn’t have that many monsters around, it has fireballs everywhere which can hurt your party a whole lot.
