To which Commodore Clifford replies...

A few years back, I started on a quest (Tillek's Ultimate Quest) to play
through all the Ultimas, at least likely till U6, on the real retro
hardware.  I did win U1 and U2 already on the Atari 8-bit, and then
playin U3 from the original disks I had as a kid (U3 was my first Ultima
game, then I had U4 and U2).  Played U2 from the original BITD disks too.

I never owned a complete U1, but I did get a bunch of disks from an ebay
purchase that had an original U1 disk (disk only) so that's what I used
for U1.

For U4, I might use my BITD disks, but I'm also thinking about using the
AtariMax cart version.  I'm kinda torn.  I had the cart for U3 but didn't
use it.

U5 will be the challenge... ST or Apple?  Gotta play one on the Apple at
some point.  Also want to play something on the ST. Thinking about U4 on
the Apple too.... never owned it, but that was my first Ultima experience
ever... U4 on a friend's Apple ][e.

For U6, I'm thinking the C128 since it has a darker background.  I hate
the color scheme for the ST version.

Of course, there still is the Wizard's Crown series, Bard's Tale... 

A little AutoDuel, just for some variety.........

Man... I'm going to need to finnd a job with more PTO.
