Scatty - improved screenshots for Ultima VIII
 

As I noticed the screenshots for Ultima VIII on site currently seem to have been re-sized few times and became blurry, I prepared the new screenshots for the game. They're consisting of more or less the same screenshots already on the review as I tried to take exactly the same as possible + few additional screenshots upon your own decision if you'd like to add some of those instead.
Now the question, the sticky in this sub-forum says no direct links and to wait to be given FTP access. Since the game is already available on the site already though, can't I simply upload the screens to Imageshack and post them here? Would be faster and easier to do I figure.

Yes you can. :)

Ok here we go. First the improved screenshots of those already there, after them the remaining other ones:

Crap man, the more you and Yoga post about U8 the more I want to play it again.
Already played it twice ...... a 3th go ......?
Naaaaa, not enough time. :(

Find some time, the game is worth it ;)
I played it dozens of time altogether.

Dear Scatty,
Your Screenshots are very nice.
May I very, very politely show some my screenshots?
If Yes where to do this presentation?
Q:Conc. yr second right shot -
How avatar climb up? It is very important for me to know, because I think the book is key to leave the dungeon we spoke before?

stupid yoga
:))

Also if you want a pic of my CD to add:

Bit bad quality, sorry, crap cam. :(
Maybe I'll take a better one when the light is better, kinda dark days now .....

I think you would need to open an own thread to post your pictures there as described in the sticky thread in this sub-forum - Link. But as far as I'm concerned you're welcome to post them all the same in this thread. You can upload the pictures on this free site and use the links provided after they're uploaded to to show them here.
As about how to climb up, it's the same as jumping - press right + left mouse buttons together. In case of climbing, go completely close to the wall you want to climb and press both buttons then. If it won't work (not always 100% close up) walk a bit away and approach the wall again.

I want to present open shots, not file names.
Same like Scatty's view..

By the way is this Recall pad on my first shot?
Second floor of the Palace of Mordea-the bad princess

LOL
stupid, more stupid, yoga
:batman:

You need to use the buttons at the top of the menu when posting to insert the link for a picture to be displayed here. If you hover the mouse pointer over the buttons a description text appears beneath them. In this case, you need to use this button - http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/ima...nsertimage.gif
It would have been better also to edit your previous posts to insert the links there instead of double-posting, otherwise this thread becomes slowly cluttered.

Come on Yoga, you can do it!

Friend Capo,
now I am fighting in deep cave with strong skeleton.
In U8 , the second cave near a ghoul and waterfall.
Please, give me a little bit time to try to post my screenshot.

Anyway Scatty, pls see my first png file u8037.
Am I before recall pad and if Yes, how to activate it?
Well respected Paco said if I not activate it I should back to town step by step..

Please ask such Game-Related Question in AGD-Thread and not here. This Thread is about Scatty Submission for AB and not about U8. Thanks you.

Thank you

oh my f@#$(*& god, i just did exactly the same thing with screenshots and everything before clicking "next page" and seeing that you did this already

even in exactly the same amount of steps

The lost son. :laugh:

Might there be any interest for a complete collection of Gamebyte Magazine issues, an old game magazine for Ms-Dos from 1991-92 in electronic form? Just looked through old IDE hard drives from an ancient 486 and discovered I have a neat full collection there, 21 issues overall, with the respective screenshot files for reviews for each issue.
It's not exactly games so maybe out of place here, but a rare to find piece of gaming history that deserves to be preserved for all to see. They're also all compressed in their originally distributed form and require some installation after the files are unpacked, which requires some basic skill with Ms-Dos, though I can re-pack them in a pre-installed form for ease of use.
