Re: Why No Ultima VI?

Yeah, I noticed that as well, recently.  I never even knew that U6 had
been released for anything other than 80386/VGA MSDOS PC.

(In addition to the c64 version, there was also an Amiga, and, apparently,
an Atari ST version as well... an SNES version(I own it, started to play
it but never finished that version so I can't say if it's the FULL game,
and a couple of japanese computers too IIRC pseudo-MSDOS compats...) 
Funny thing about this as well is that there was, apparently, no mac
version either.)

I seem to recall about Garriot/Origin people saying all those years back
when there was the great hue-and-cry about U6 bein PC only with their
reasoning being no other machine was "powerful" enough to run it.  (I
suspected at the time, and still suspect that they meant they couldn't
have as nice eyecandy on the IIs.  And also now thinking about my mac
comment above I wonder if someone at Apple pee'd on Garriot... as the mac
II series was even better than the Amiga, graphically... and a MUCH larger
market...)
