Podcast Topic(s)

Andrea Contato’s Through the Moongate, per its Kickstarter page, “illuminates the path of the Ultima games’ history and the creative people behind this landmark series. It also covers some of Origin’s other games, especially Wing Commander, and touches on several contemporary titles. Many of these tales have never before been told.” The book “aims to be a more complete account of Origin’s history than has ever been presented before.” This week covers the conflicting stories about the timeline of Akalabeth’s transition from being sold over the counter at ComputerLand to being distributed by CPCC, and turning into a major hit from its humble beginnings as an offsale product in a single retail outlet.
