Fenxy Dragon just brought this to my attention: YouTube user Kikoskia, who for the last five months has been posting short videos of his ongoing attempt to play through Ultima 7. He’s still going at it: the most recent video was posted only a few hours ago.

I’d advise starting to watch at the second video in the series, which is the first in which actual gameplay occurs (the first video just shows off the game’s introduction). The narration be a bit annoying at times, but it’s usually rather funny (made more so by the fact that, as Kikoskia admits openly, he has never played the game through to completion):

Here, let’s see how YouTube’s embeddable playlist player works:

At any rate, this one might just be worth a watch-through. Me? I’m going to see about downloading them all to my iPod Touch in time for an upcoming business trip.
