The DOS Game Club Podcast: Ultima 7

The DOS Game Club is a monthly podcast that publishes monthly roundtable discussions about different classic DOS games, which the hosts play through and then comment on. Last month (that is: December of 2019, though the episode was evidently published in March of 2020), they explored — evidently by fan request — Ultima 7:

A while back we ran a Twitter poll to see what people thought a good RPG would be for us to check out. And although Dark Sun, Darklands and Albion all good respectable scores, there was one clear winner: Ultima VII, released in 1992 by Origin Systems. So that became our December game.

As neither our hosts Martijn (“Tijn”) and Florian (“rnlf”) played the game before, we were very happy that two knowledgable experts were willing to join the show and help us explain the contents and context of this game and the Ultima series as a whole. First of all it’s long time DGC member and podcast regular Richard (“Pix”), and last but not least there’s Michael (“Moa2020”) who is completely new to the club.

You can check out the episode on the DOS Game Club website, and I assume that the podcast can also be found on the usual podcast services (Apple, Google, Stitcher, etc.)
