Re: [SWCollect] Announcing the CGW Museum

I'll try and find it although I'm having a hard time remembering where I saw it. Probably CGW, but it could be any of about 15 issues.

It was intended to sell in the same sized box as the computer series and had a projected price of $30. A lot of work was done on the project, but mostly organizational rather than developmental. While it was a project Garriott wanted to do, Origin wasn't willing to schedule it for a release and it eventually got put aside.   Do you know anything more about “Ultima IV Part II”? If you have the article I’d love to read it.   Steve     From: Stephane Racle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, March 20, 2004 12:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SWCollect] Announcing the CGW Museum   Absolutely right, thanks for catching that! I think it's properly identified on the site. I'm curious about that Ultima pen-and-paper RPG too. Any Ultima collectors have more info? I'm guessing it never went anywhere. That reminds me of another article I read a while ago about an "Ultima IV Part II" that was supposed to be released prior to Ultima V. Another project that was cancelled?
