The Descent: Underground Kickstarter campaign began a day or two ago. The game, a modern sequel to Descent, has a lot of ex-Origin talent on its development team.
The Internet Archive has published a trove of over 2,000 MS-DOS games which can be played in a browser window. Several Origin Systems games, some Ultima titles included, are in the collection.
A hidden message in Ultima Underworld mentions a Kilrathi medium fighter.
Retro Gamer has published an interview with Richard Garriott focused on the history of Origin Systems. Which contains a few amusing errors.
Piranha Games have cancelled the crowdfunding campaign for their Star Citizen clone, Transverse.
Piranha Games obtained the Wing Commander license from EA, and then decided not to use it for their otherwise very Star Citizen-like space sim MMO. Because reasons.
If for some reason you still don’t have the Ultima games in your GOG.com catalogue, they are all on sale (60% off!) this weekend.
Jeff Skalski tipped off the Wing Commander CIC as to the location of the downed Kilrathi fighter in Ultima Forever. Because yes, it had one of those.
