I’m back from holiday and have a little catching up to do. First off, here is the missing Ultima 4 completion certificate which has been provided once again by Natreg, having presumably being hosted originally on Jocksitter Dragon’s website.
I did a load more scanning this morning and have added downloads for most of the cluebooks that I’ve already looked at in the blog, namely Wing Commander Armada Playtester’s Guide, Wing Commander 1 & 2 – The Ultimate Strategy Guide, Shadowcaster Illuminations and Official Guide to Wing Commander 3.
I’ve also been donated a couple more by Mirir which are the Official Guide to Crusader – No Remorse and Privateer Playtesters Guide.
That’s the lot for now, as I’m heading off for a few days. I’ll see what I can do with Forge Of Virtue when I get back, although the novels are going to be harder to do with the print so ridiculously close to the spine.
I did a little scanning while watching the rugby this afternoon and have added pdfs of the Wing Commander Confederation handbook and Prima’s Ultima 8 – The Ultimate Strategy Guide to the downloads page.
This is a not especially complementary review of Ultima 9 from the May 2000 PC Zone. Rather than the usual “thumbnails”, I’ve uploaded this one as a pdf and it can be downloaded here.
My scanner has arrived, and in time for me to try it out before I head off for a few days away next week. I’ve started with something small, the Noctropolis cluebook. I’m still unclear how involved Origin were with anything to do with Noctropolis but the book is now available to download from here and I’ll also add it into the downloads page.
The scanner is looking good so far. It may have been cheap but scanning this in took next to no time, left my book unscathed and I didn’t have to edit any of the images before generating the pdf. Above all, the quality is a huge improvement on what I’m used to.
