The introduction is quite elaborate and nicely drawn.
Ultima IV of course has the eight virtues as its main theme. The quest of becoming a good person.
@[email protected] hah! I remember this. I had a Game Gear, the Master System adapter and a U IV cartridge... but even in my early teens my eyes weren't up to all that small text. And after about 10 mins you had to pop another 4 AA batteries into the Game Gear anyway
@[email protected] 6 AA! You are thinking of the puny GameBoy! :)
@[email protected] i think there is no other RPG of this scale on the GameGear…
There is Lunar, which is a JRPG, but quite different in style and scope from Ultima IV… and RPGs are not the biggest genre on the GG anyway…
Are you able to get the enhanced versions to run on your system? Because over the years, fans have polished the existing art, added new art, made bug-fixes, and even a utility to tweak your character info such as to help get through the boring, repetitive parts.
They've done this for the C64 version for example, not sure about other systems. See: https://csdb.dk/search/?seinsel=releases&search=Ultima+IV&Go.x=0&Go.y=0
@[email protected] oof. I would have to look for a ROM hack… but if there is one for the Master System, why not!
