[net.micro.atari8] bug in"ULTIMA IV" software

svozza@ARDC.ARPA (Steve Vozza, CAD) (03/05/86)

Beware all you adventurer gamers, Origin's new "ULTIMA IV" game has a

bug on side 2 (the towne disk). When I returned to the store to see

about an explanation, they apparently knew about the 'bug'!!!

They explained that a replacement disk would be available in about a

month or so...???  Well needless to say I felt let down by Origin,

since all of their previous software has been good-to-excellent.

Well, just thought that I would let the rest of you atari 8 bitters

know about this buggy business.  Oh, by the way this game is being

distributed by Electronic Arts (hiss..hiss).

      Beware all you adventurer gamers, Origin's new "ULTIMA IV" game
      has a bug on side 2 (towne disk), which causes the computer to 
      lock up. When I returned to the store to see about a explanation,
      they apparently knew about the bug for awhile (great store, huh??).
      Well, anyway they told me that a replacement disk would be 
      available in about a month or so...???? Oh, by the way, this game
      is being distributed by our loyal(?) friends ELECTRONIC ARTS.

            A warning from your local orc killer..
