Re: Ultima 3

I seem to remember that for boats to appear you have to have reached some level. Could be wrong though. I'm certain there was a discussion about this in the dragons newsgroups. Google usenet searching ultima3, boat in rec.games.computer.ultima.dragon and rgcu.series

Re: Sound Card List

Don't forget that there is a Creative SB AWE 64 (in various layouts) that is Dos compatible as well. I own one and I used to get Ultima 7 to play with this card. Though I think the difference between the AWE32 and AWE64 is the same as between Audigy I/II :) Anyway is there one PCI card that is fully …

Re: Ultima Underworld 2
