Ultima III - Exodus [GOG]

[ultimaIX]

I'm assuming ultima 3 is ok to upload, considering that 5 and onward is ok. I have ultima 1, 2, and 4 as well, so i'd be more than willing to finish off the series here!

Any body have a reason why it's a No Go?

I think it's ok to upload :)

Ultima 3 is OK to upload.

[Blood-Pigggy]

I've uploaded Ultima IV and am reviewing that currently.

[ultimaIX]

You're reviewing ultima 3? or ultima 4?

:confused:

[Blood-Pigggy]

Do you understand Roman numerals?

I've uploaded Ultima IV and am reviewing that currently.
You're reviewing ultima 3? or ultima 4?

Don't worry. Confusing the hell out of someone is Pigggy's idea of a good joke.

[ultimaIX]

I DO understand roman numerals... obviously so, considering i have one in my username. i was confused due to the fact you posted something about ultima IV in my post about ultima III. i just didn't want to take the time to do a review on a game that you've already done!

and i know you're doing ultima 4, 'cause i read your post on it. (i was going to do u4 until i saw said post) So instead i opted for ultima III, and i'll prolly follow that up w/ u2 and u1 and akalabeth.

geez man. not everyone is as stupid as you might think.

It was just a joke, ultimaIIIIIIII, just a joke.
:)

[ultimaIX]

heh, don't worry dos - i wasn't offended by a link to an informative site... i was annoyed w/ pigggy's post. just saying "do you understand roman numerals?" was not constructive, and obviously written to be condescending. i actually did check the link out to refresh my memory on the larger roman numerals (which i always seem to forget :) ).

[_r.u.s.s.]

what's the point in being constructive in yes/no answers? you asked he answered=P

[Blood-Pigggy]

First of all, you posted in your OP that you'd "like to finish the series". Then I posted that I've uploaded UIV and am reviewing it because I didn't want you to waste your time.

Then you asked a question that completely befuddled me because you asked if I was doing Ultima III or IV, I assumed that you didn't know to count numerals for two reasons.

1. I posted Ultima IV in my post, IV = 4, you asked if I was doing III, I posted IV in my post, so what the hey.

2. Ultima IX? Hahahaha.

@Blood-Pigggy:
yes, i know the game ultima 9 sucked. i agree totally. i've used ultima 9 as a user name waaaay before ultima 9 came out; before ultima 7 came out actually, in anticipation of the finale of a great trilogy of trilogies. what a letdown. i still kept the name tho, and use it today. it's always been my alias, since the days of the UDIC before it was the UDIC (when it was on prodigy) and i plan on continuing to use it to honor the best video game series of all time. (imo) i suppose i could make fun of your name, but i can't see the point in insulting someone's user name on a forum. :suspicious:

@_r.u.s.s.:
he didn't answer my yes/no question with a constructive answer, or even an answer; he answered it w/ a condescending question.

perhaps i'm being overly sensitive about this :notrust: and i know that i'm a new poster here on the site (even though i've been coming here for years). however i don't see the point in being blatantly derogatory to someone who is trying to provide a service to the good people of abandonia and the software writers of the "good old days" by keeping their fantastic work alive today. i asked a question - simply to clarify a previous post - plain and simple.

i'm done w/ this argument - pigggy, you do ultima 4, i'll do ultima 3 (or should i say ultima IV and ultima III :evil:). take pleasure in knowing you get to do one of the best in the series and i'll do my best to give exodus the credit it is due.

What a nuthouse!
:nuts:

[_r.u.s.s.]

ultima i suggest taking a cool shower and/or start smoking

why do you take stuff so seriously?

[Luchsen]

What a nuthouse!
:nuts:

Yeah, a locked one.

Just for my info: Is there still a need for Ultima III Exodus on AB since GOG offers it also? I really would like to see it here. It is one of my all-time favorite and I got on eBay last year (really not cheap, but the complete and very first version for the Apple II :) ).

I could offer screenshots, boxshots and maybe a review. The 'maybe' is due to the fact that I am drowning in work at the moment.

What do you think?

[marko river]

Regardless of the status of the game, we always want boxshots. Always always. Screenshots and maybe review are also welcome. Even if the game is not for download, you'll do it justice since some other people may see your recommendation and decide to try it. Will they get it from GOG or AB is less important.

[BostonGeorge]

OK, "always always" is a very clear statement ;)
I try my best to make it happen and let you know when I'm done.
