Some people still believe that DOOM was the epitome of early 90s PC gaming in 3D. They are of course wrong, for Origin's Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss was the true king of the era. It also was the first truly (and fully) 3D game to hit the PC, an architecturally beautiful virtual world and a truly excellent action-CRPG. You too can now love it in the privacy of your home with a little help from this Ultima Underworld auction. It's the complete and lavishly boxed edition of the game and the seller ships to N. and S. America, United Kingdom, Australia and Germany.

Hmm.. beautiful copy, although it does not have the bag of runes that came with my edition..
ReplyDeleteWow that sounds really intriguing dear Chris. I must admit I've never seen said runes, but I'll have a digital search.
ReplyDeleteloved the games where it came with a dozen disc and that famaliar, click, click, click as it installs. Great!!
ReplyDeleteAnd them manuals and catalogues were so beautiful...
ReplyDeleteIndeed, this one comes with the gorgeous manual and map that made Origin games so tactile.
ReplyDeleteThe bag of runes I'm referring to is a cloth bag of metallic runes, meant to mimic the in-game magic runes used for casting spells. It took me years to find one with them intact :)
Either way, this is a fantastic purchase. I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed with a boxed copy of Ultima Underworld :)
Would you by any chance happen to have a piccie of said runes dear Chris? That would be lovely.
