Maybe They Should Call It “Ultima Collector”
John “Razimus Dragon” Hughston boasts a pretty impressive collection of items in the ongoing beta trial of Portalarium’s upcoming game, Ultimate Collector: Garage Sale. And many of those items are…shall we say?…very familiar-looking:
Quite the Collection!
As Razimus explains it: “I highly recommend this game, it gives you the sense of having gone on a shopping spree, without spending a penny, and it is educational with a link to a site about each item.” And he adds: “Supporting this game, Ultimate Collector, is the same as supporting the next great RPG of the future, who wouldn’t want to support that game? you can do so by supporting the game that is here and now, the game that precedes the Ultimate RPG.”
That really is the long and short of it, Dragons and Dragonettes; the success of Ultimate Collector directly impacts the future of the Ultimate RPG that Richard Garriott has talked about over the last so many months. If nothing else, consider giving the game a try just to see what it has to say about the Ultima series and other Origin Systems-related treasures!
They should call it “begging” and formalize it.
I’m not going to lie, there was a period of time where the only reason I went to garage sales was hopefully to find a cache of Origin titles.
So this is a capitalist version of a kickstarter? I might just have to break my vow of never playing a facebook game.
C’mon, you know you wanna try it. 😉
I honestly was surprised. I expected to not like it, but I’ve actually enjoyed playing it… even for a face book game.
Admittedly some of it for me is trying to collect the ultimas, but my wife is working on a barbie collection, and I’m also just gathering up old computer systems and parts..
My faovirte part is you don’t need to beg people for things every 5 seconds to help you, and you’re not spamming their wall with requests.
I’d rather see it on G+, but that’s another topic.
You lost me at “facebook game” given Facebooks atrocious data security practices.
