Pix’s Origin Adventures: Ultima 5 Press Release

Actually, the press release forms only the first part of a pair of Ultima 5-related scans that Pix posted recently:

First up is this two page news release from September 1988, proclaiming the release of Ultima V on Commodore 64/128…

…I’ve two versions of the product fact sheet which would have been on the back of the page above. Both are design documents prior to the final version, with the first not having any graphics and the later second version having been rearranged to accommodate the appropriate box image and logos but these logos have been stuck on afterwards by hand…

As noted above, the version of Ultima 5 that these scanned documents pertain to is the Commodore 64/128 version, but the product requirements are given for all systems that the game was released for. Ah, the glorious days when games only needed 256 KB of memory to run!
