Has anyone here played Ultima I (the 1981 version from California
Pacific, not the 1986 remake) and successfully finished the outer space
section? It does not appear that I can ever hit the enemy ships playing
on AppleWin, no matter how slow the emulation, or how apparently direct
the hit. I've tried for a long time now.
The code is in BASIC on the desk, and I see there is a PEEK to memory
location 7405 to see if it is FF, but as far as I can tell this memory
is never POKEd. Now, I can find a line in the assembly in the debug
window where FF is written to that location, but similarly I cannot
figure out where that is in the BASIC program.
Any enlightenment would be appreciated!
