Ultima 6: The False Prophet introduction

[xxxx15us]

I started with Ultima 3 when it was new. I think because I was still a little too young to fully understand it and because the mechanics seemed so vague to me at the time I wasn't sure what to think. But the release of Ultimas 4,5,6,and 7 were simply huge events in my young life. I just couldn't get enough of them. Still love the music.

[noyougonow]

Don't know how many times I loaded the game just so I could hear the music!

[notyoursavior78]

Epic intro still!

[daemon2797]

i love all them usic in the entire ultima series

[undeadpresident]

says 666 on that altar...

[blu3vibration]

@undeadpresident Actually, it reads "Kah Mani De" which translates to "Place of Sacrifice" in the in-game gargoyle language.

[undeadpresident]

@blu3vibration Guess it depends on how you look at it.....Maybe its a double message lol

[EverWinterNights]

Hmm, I played this for super nintendo, it didnt have the part where it shows you sitting on the couch watching modern stuff with modern technology, the first scene it showed was you looking through the window seal, which I even thought back then hey that window seal looks kind of modern. I'm mind blown, years later as an adult I'm watching the missing link to the intro, showing all the modern stuff, snes idiots left it out, a major twist for me. I never knew you traveled to a different era.

[TheRogueX]

@EverWinterNights Yeah, that's the whole purpose of most of the games. You're from a totally different time and world. It's really cool.

[BVargas78]

My first rpg too

[larzaify]

Is this the Ad Lib sound?

[EoHendriks]

@larzaify Yes it is

[THISSONGISBULSHIT]

i cry at remembering when my dad bought them off of ebay my 4 years with them and the the damn computer breaks but i have dosbox now thank god

[tomp2008]

gorgeous. I have fond memories of this game

[kingcrimson234]

this is the best video game of all time, imo. and the whole intro sequence, including the part where the gargoyles have bound you to the altar, is SO well done. they really just don't make games like this anymore. video games kind of suck now. not suck, but they just aren't this original.

[notyoursavior78]

@kingcrimson234

Yeah I still agree with my comment from a year ago and your recent one. Games just seem to be missing something these days. While I never really spent much time with this one. I love the intro and music.

[chanchi789]

@notyoursavior78 This was an spiritual game... the objetivo was to make people better persons, make them virtuous.

Maybe the world is touching deep in these days, that´s why all is going in flames.

[rammsteinregeln]

@kingcrimson234 Yes, not only that but many new storyline-including games are poorly written.. this intro is a compelling prelude to the game; Origin and Richard Garriott in particular were excellent at innovating what we now know as the RPG

[jesusofbaghdad]

Magic.

[rainmouse]

Bet he wishes he stopped by the closet on the way to the garden portal and picked up his trusty shotgun.

[auroral]

that's what happens when you step into an unfamiliar red portal

[DawnOfMutilation]

Ha! The Best RPG Ever. I learned english by translating it to german.

[MysticRonin101]

80's metal is so awesome.

[Ceaker247]

One of the first games that I have played ever. Got to say,  awesome game.

[notyoursavior78]

That was some awesome story telling. I'm really impressed. I always wished I got into the Ultima games more. The only one I really played significantly was Ultima IV for the nes.

[reallyfun]

Best RPG series ever. None has matched the greatness of the Ultima series...NONE.

[THISSONGISBULSHIT]

@reallyfun actually one it is called alkalebeth aka ultima 0

[THISSONGISBULSHIT]

@reallyfun and none will ever match it... doom is the best game of the 90's bull fucking shit these games were

[DragoonApprentice]

@reallyfun The Ultima Series were designed to improve one´s inner morality and ethical actions.

[TheTWF]

@reallyfun

Baldur's Gate, Witcher, Exile, Gothic...

[BGSlopy]

On the Pc version i dont have music, and all the sound efects are pc speaker style.

[moondog999]

you need an adlib card or a soundblaster.

had the music on my old 286 :-)

[krononomikon]

you can use DosBox, as it will emulate an old soundcard for it :)

[OOOJimPanseOOO]

Great game. The only thing which is not old school is the smooth scrolliing. Even with a 486 (which came out 5 years after the game was released) the scrolling was not smooth!

[ltj1024]

My first RPG too!!!! I love this.

[yngtxtopbear]

Mine too! In fact the first Game I ever played ona PC.

Even redid the Ultima 6 map using the Heroes of Might and Magic 3 map maker

[asedcopf]

any chance of gettin the character creation music on? even better than the intro

Humbug

Man I loved this game!

[Eltempe]

This really back memories. You could do anything in this game.. Even kill Lord British with fireballs when he was sleeping and then sit on his throne. Funny that in the morning no one said a thing.

One of the best game introductions ever.. Thank you for putting this up.

[MSFproductionsMAIN]

Traditionally, this is called the boot up. The Introduction is considered the part with the Gargoyles. But that's ok. I still love your video. It is Awsome!! Oh the memories.

[TaintedKiller]

my first RPG ever and this video was posted on my b-day. How awesome is that!

[jurney99]

Only way to beat ultima 6, is need good karma" need to gain valor, honor, compassion, justice, honesty, spirituality, sacifice, and humility, after you gain all those, then you fight gargoyles.

[rumhead666]

That brings back memories ...

BTW, Iolo was a homo. LOL. Nice headband faeg.

[TikiAce]

Cool!

[slackmaster2000]

Awesome I've only played SNES version this looks better.. love all the music from False Prophet thnx

[spudgun2k]

Dude the SNES Ultima games were a disaster! You OWE it to yourself to grab Dosbox and play U6 as god (Origin) intended. My first ever RPG and it holds a very special place in my less-than-avatarlike heart.

[darXstar]

Oh, thank you

you've fallen me in full nostalgia

Unforgettable moments
