With a little help from one Joseph Seeley, Pix was able to publish a third and final post in his series describing playing through the Apple IIGS port of Ultima 1.

Which, as it turns out, ended up being a very short post; he had very little to do other than defeat Mondain, which in this version of the game evidently isn’t that much of a task:

The endgame is instantly recognisable. I’d have thought the final encounter deserved a suitable backing track but it’s carried out in silence apart from the digitized effects. I needn’t have worried about my HP as the IIGS Mondain is something of a lightweight. Once transformed into a bat, he never even made it out of the little square surrounding the gem and more or less stood still and let me blast him the 7 or 8 times required for victory.

His overall impression of the port hasn’t changed much, it seems, although he does end by expressing a hope that it’ll be made for sale again one day.
