To celebrate the 9th anniversary of this website and its predecessor, Ultima Aiera, we’ve added a new collection to the Origin Gallery: screenshots from the original, isometric 3D version of Ultima 9.

Those of you familiar with Hacki Dragon’s website or Auric’s Ultima Moongates will recognize most of the images in the set; they are not anything that has not been seen before. But based on a cursory survey of both sites, I think it might be safe to say that they have not been seen at this level of quality before. The colours are better, and the detail somewhat crisper.

As you might expect, these images come from the deep trove of treasure known as the Mythic Archives; they were found on a CD image containing a large promotional poster (visible below), and were likely included with it as possible source material.

As always, enjoy!
