Default hanmaan - Ultima V

I have the original documentation that came with Ultima V. I've noticed the Ultima V map on the site doesn't match the cloth map I have, as the cities aren't represented as single points. I also have the original hint book, http://ultima.wikia.com/wiki/Ultima_V_Cluebook if the site is interested - it contains the map of the underworld, every city, every dungeon and location of every magic item in the game. I could rescan the original Book of Lore if desired.

On a shelf for 20+ years, could never throw it away.

Hmmm, think I'll have to iron the map...and do some cleanup work on the scans. The previous owner, bought this used with my C64, wrote translations on the map and notes in the hint book.

Actually the map we have is the same as the one we can find minimized in the manual for the DOS version. However I have no idea from where he took it with such a big size.

However its missing the huge "Ultima V" stamp in the middle like the maps for Ultima VI and VII. I think that might be a NES map...Let me dig out my Ultima collection CD...I don't think I even took the plastic wrap off it...

I think I know what you're talking about. I'm just saying that we'll leave the current map and upload yours as the "Official Map".

As an aside, when I was in university I saw the ultima 1-6 collection with all the manuals and cloth maps. I was offered it for $100 but turned it down :mad:. The regrets for opportunities past.
