PC download service Good Old Games has been on a bit of anUltimabinge recently. Not only did it put out a bundle of the first threeUltimagames, but now it’s gone and releasedUltima 4: Quest of the Avatarfor free! Yes, for free!
Ultima 4changed things up on the PC RPG scene by offering more freedom than most previous games but also with the core idea that there was no main villain. You were to become a moral and upstanding hero that the citizens of Britannia would look up to. Kind of like theFablegames but without the farting.
As someone who’s only recently come round to using GOG, I’ve come to appreciate the work they put into these re-releases. There’s also the small fact that GOG will give you free games just for signing up. Now you’re able to addUltima 4to a list that includesBeneath A Steel Sky,Lure of the Temptressand err…Teen Agent.
