Check Out This Video Showcase of “The Cloth Maps of Ultima”
The Big Box PC Game Collectors — check them out on Facebook — have released a video retrospective of the cloth maps that shipped with the Ultima games:
Richard Garriott and the Ultima RPG Series are known for cloth maps, and almost every game in the series included one. First we take a look into Ultima history and the very first cloth map. Then we showcase each one of these beautiful pieces of art.
Cloth maps are a staple of computer role playing games. See where the tradition started!
It’s a well-done video, complete with some commentary from Richard Garriott. And, of course, it features Stones as its soundtrack, because of course it does.
