Its interessting how far Ultima is spread all over the world, especially not being a mainstream-new-age-ego-shooter-game-everyone-talks-about.

So I wonder, is there actually a country where noone knows U7? (How sad!)

Well, I hope this is not seen as spam!

I am from Recklinghausen, NRW, Germany

(and played Ultima since U7-BG

)

Taiwan, Republic of China

Have U6 (& Martian Dreams), U7BG & U7SI, U8, U9 and Ultima Collection.

Played U4, U6 (including Martian Dreams), U7BG & U7SI, U8.

Finished U6, U7BG & U7SI.

Although my English is not poor, I love Ultimate. There are a few players of Ultimate in Taiwan, but most of them are Ultimate fans. Female players are fewer, but I'm one of them

. (In Taiwan, a lot of parents hates PC games and don't let their children to play.... I'm so lucky:)

I played U6 when I was in the fifth grade. At that time, I just started to study English. I played the game by looking all the words up in a dictionary:D

Now I major in Chinese Literature in a graduate school in Taiwan, and I'm 24 years old now....

Until now, my English is still poor>_< So if I made some mistakes in grammer of spelling, just rectify me

Played and finished: Akalabeth, U1-U9, Serpent Isle, UW1 & 2, Martiand Dreams, Savage Empire, Runes of Virtue 1 & 2, u7 snes

my favourite Ultima was U5, and my first one was Ultima 7 (the spanish version). Here in Spain only u7-u8 were translated, but none of them has the addons or speechpacks. I bought the english versions and finished them as well.

in Spain there are (more correctly were...) a lot of people that loves Ultima.

Now all of them play UO

and when someone talks about Ultima they identify as UO.

Europe: 8
North America: 2
Asia: 1

Seems as if Koreans very much like soccer and Blizzard games but not more; Mino, you should tell your friends about it!
And what about the US? Hell, this is where this game is born!

Whats with the other three continent-thingies?;)

I think there was someone from South Africa, many reside in down under I think, but what about South America? No exult-fans over there?;)

Lets see where the rest comes from ... c'mon! So many people on this board, tell us in which country you sit in a dark room and play geeky old games! (Just kidding!)

Got stuck in UW1 and 2 quite early in each game, and never played martian dream or savage empire. I dont´ even know in wich way they´re linked to the series.
My favorite one is U5, I always blockaded my parents tv with my C64 that time.

RazorBlade · Post by **RazorBlade** » Tue Aug 20, 2002 1:10 am

So far:

Australia 2
NAmerica 5
Europe 12
Asia 1

Not enough to be representive, but it seems U7 or at least Exult+U7 is the game of the old world!

Strange, I guessed US and Asia would have more fans; perhaps they are visting this board not that frequently. Time will tell

XxVenomxX · Post by **XxVenomxX** » Tue Aug 20, 2002 3:25 am

I know a lot of fans dont read the boards here, a lot of them just keep up with the official release announcements on the main page. It's very common to find an Ultima community here or there who still don't know about Exult. But that's becoming less and less common nowadays

Christopher Strong · Post by **Christopher Strong** » Wed Aug 21, 2002 2:45 pm

Utah, USA.

I started with Ultima III but got really hooked with Ultima IV. Then I went back and played 1 and 2.

Total, 1,2,3,4,5,6, Savage, UW1, 7, 7-2, 8, 9

I completed all but UW1, 8 and 9.

I never completed 8 as I did not like the fact that I was destroying the planet and could not take the Avatar doing that. I'm still playing 9, but I don't like the way it is going and frankly it is too 3-D nauseating for me. Plus, I can only play it under Windows which annoys me. I did not win Ultima 1; I could never work my space ship but I still have the save game (I'm near the end) from like 1985 and I plan to win it one day.

played them all, but not all trough, only the latest (6,7,8,9...)

my first game ever was Ultima 7 in 1992, my older brother played it all day, i was only allowed to play when he was out of the house

i played ultima 7, eehmm, 6 or 7 times, trough

old-school-rpgs like Ultima 7 were very popular in germany and that could be one reason, why here are so many (possible older guys) germans...

Max aka Moscow Dragon · Thu Sep 19, 2002 12:25 pm

Moscow, Russia.

Passed only U7BG. In progress - U7SI (stopped before Shrine Of Balance and Silver Seed not passed), U4 and U9. Not much time to play.

As about Ultimas in different countries. My friend and I have played U7BG in 1992. We nearly passed the game, and stopped since we have lost the Hook's key.

In 1993, U7SI and UWs were widely known among Russian gamers.

Note that this generation of gamers was not the modern one - at this time in Russia, computers were too expensive for nearly anyone to have at home, so, gamers were the same people as programming fans, and all were using computers in organizations and colleges, sometimes being hired for tiny salary and symbolic job duties - just to have access to computer. For now, it is not such, the modern gamers are usually youngsters and have nearly nothing to do with serious programmers.

Wing Commander was also well-known in the same 92-93.

Soul Harvester · Post by **Soul Harvester** » Thu Sep 19, 2002 7:08 pm

All over the pacific northwest, but currently in a small hellhole known as Canby, Oregon.

I've played every PC ultima and all console ultimas, have sadly never tried any C64/Amiga/AppleII/etc Ultimas, other then the U3 remake for the mac. (By the by, the U3 remake for the mac is very nice).

I first played Ultima 7 BG... after just a few minutes I was dead hooked for years. U7 was new then and UC didn't exist so I had to find older ones on my own. I purchased Ultima 8, and I actually found it somewhat fun (it was the patched cd version), though the story made little sense to me. I later purchased Ultima Collection and played every ultima from akalabath on to U6 from start to finish and loved every minute of it.

Ultima 9 was a dissapointment as an Ultima, but I liked it as a game.

I ended up making U7 my profciency. Oft I spent weeks at a time playing that game an average of 8 hours a day (I often went to visit my father who lived away from people.. he worked during the day and so I was stuck with a computer). I know that game like the back of my hand and to date it is still my favorite game ever.
