Wow. Just wow..

Theres even an original Akalabeth put together by LB himself before the game was even distributed by Cal Pacific...

Take a look at www.ultimaaiera.com, in the comments to the story about this package is an interesting discussion. Mostly that it is likely to be overpriced to create more value than it is worth (that it has to be picked up is also a big hurdle...)

[monotremata]

Yeah I saw that.. Cash only AND you have to pick it up in Chicago..
But he does have like 14 different versions of Ultima II and Ultima IV haha..
Id have to go buy another bookshelf just to display all of it!

Ill have to go check out ultimaaiera.com now hehe..

[Scythifuge]

Wow. That makes my Origin collection look pitiful..

[monotremata]

I wish he would break it up so I could get 1-4 already!!!

[Cospefogo]

Oh.
Nice collection of items!

But it seems that the guy does not have two item I am proud of to be here in my shelf: The two japanese hintbooks for Ultima: Exodus no Kyofu and Ultima: Seija he no Michi (UIII and UIV respectively) for Famicom (NES).

I love those two books.

I still have nightmares about playing Exodus on the NES hehe.. After that I didnt even bother checking out any of the other console ports..

You have not seen the true face of horror until you've seen the NES port of U7.

[monotremata]

I may have to go find a rom of that just to see it hehehe...

It gets irritating scouring ebay for Ultimas as you have to navigate through 10 pages of bids and like 8 or 9 pages are always for one of the stupid nintendo or famicom versions!! Seen the Sega version of Ultima 4 a couple times lately too.
