Well folks, as the end of yet another semester approaches, I am considering buying Ultima V for my Amiga. I seem to remember a huge stink on the net when Ultima V origionally came out so I have a couple of quick questions which I'm sure someone ought to be able to answer. First, what was all the stink about? Second, does Ultima V in fact work on the A3000? Is it very much like (i.e.: identical) to the C=64 version? Finally, what's the copy protection like? Please express what you liked and disliked about the product. :-) --George -- George L.

The C64 Version is much better (though it has to load every new command :( )! As far as I remember from all the stink, U5 for Amiga has a copy protection so you cannot copy it, it saves on the game disk only, is not harddisk installable, has only ONE tune through the whole game, the keyboard commands are recognized only after you stroke the key tree or more times, ... All in all, it seems not recommended to buy this for Amiga, THOUGH it is a great game!! -Efchen --- /~\ | Martin Friedrich IRC/FN/BITNET: Efchen C oo | Postfach 1602 NightFall: Sir Efchen, Knight of Elvendar _( ^) | 8520 Erlangen ~\ | GERMANY InterNet:mnfriedr@informatik.uni-erlangen.de ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tie two birds together.
