Nope. I don't collect RPGs. In fact, I think I collect everything that you
guys *don't* collect.

I'll drop a bomb, here: I don't know what you're talking about when you say
"Ultima CPC". Could you explain?
Here's another bomb: I have never, ever liked any Ultimas. I find them
contrived and scatterbrain; I feel the storylines are manufactured and trite.
And most of all, the name "Lord British" really rubs me the wrong way -- it
rubbed me the wrong way when I first saw it on the bootup screen of Ultima 2
and it still rubs me the wrong way today. It's a dorky,
grammatically-incorrect handle. When I hear the name "Lord British", I picture
a pimply 14-yr-old trying to think of a "cool" handle to choose when signing
onto a BBS door.
I am the only software collector in the world who doesn't like Ultima. I love
Origin, just not Ultima. If there is any one thing that any one Ultima game
does better than *all* other RPGs, I'd sure like to know. (If you want to
reply :-) please do so privately as I don't think everyone on the list wants to
hear a flamewar over Ultima.)
