I mentioned that I had some permanent new additions to the Codex planned in order to mark the tenth anniversary of the site, and upon further reflection I decided to combine the two planned features into one.

Because, you see, the new addition is a wall of memories about Origin Systems…and the Ultima series, yes, but also their other games and the company as a whole.

Initially, the idea was to have two separate memory walls; one filled with comments from former Origin Systems developers, and the other with comments from Ultima and Origin fans. The fans certainly responded readily, but I wasn’t able to solicit quite as many comments from former Origin developers. So, after a bit of reflection, I opted to combine the two planned features into one, which can now be found here (or via the Memories of Origin Systems” button on the sidebar).

I would encourage you all to click on through; there are some moving reflections on the page already, and further submissions are welcome.
