Happy 40th Birthday Atari - R.I.P.

Miniatures Monday - Manchego!

Manchego and his gang rides again!

"There is two kinds of mens in de worlds.  Those what is Manchego and those what is not Manchego.  You hombre, is not Manchego."

The (Ultima)te Adventure

I was feeling nostalgic today, so I hopped in the Wayback machine, set the controls for 1981 and went back to playing Ultima I.

I found myself in the magical land of Sosaria...

That castle sure looked promising, so I went to see the King.

  

Sadly, the castle was a bit underwhelming.  Maybe he was King of the Hobos?  The King gave me a rather vague quest, and I headed to town to equip myself.

The town was a little better than the castle, but that wasn't saying much.  I decided to head off into the wilderness in search of a different town.

Along the way, I saw a giant squid.

Though beset by adversaries, I reached another town.

It wasn't much better.

So I figured I would try searching dungeons for treasure.

It was very dark.

There were skeletons...

...and Luchadores in dresses.

All in all it was a very enjoyable afternoon!  :-)
