How did you know how to do everything? How many times have you beat the game? How long did it take you the first time?

@wulfsburg65 This took about 80 hours of work to figure out. The first 30 were spent solving the game the first time through. I spent another 10 hours paring it down to the bare minimum actions required to trigger the ending. Another 30 hours were spent route planning, during which time I wrote utilities to scan the game files to show me where key items could be found (like glass swords). The final 10 were spent recording the first attempt. I never did a second :D

well how play to ultima 7 or 8 pagan windows xp ?

[qbradq]

Ultima 7 can be played through DOSBox or with Exult, the engine remake. Same thing for Ultima 8, and the engine remake is called Pentagram. Google is your friend.

Funny, lol. Which recording program did you use ? Fraps didn´t work. I guess this is Hypercam, right ?

I love the magic affect on the items in this game. I miss it a lot =(

[batlin]

Love how you just walked through the wall to avoid magic unlocking the door behind the hydras, didn't know you could do that :D

@nohophil It only takes about 10 minutes to learn the runic characters well enough to understand the signs. It takes more like 10 years to learn a foreign language :/ They're not comparable.

Good god, that 10 min video sums up a couple months of my childhood.
