Ultima Exodus (NES)

by Tsugutoshi Goto

I got this game on sale long before I knew what a traditional RPG was.  I tried to understand it, but just didn’t get it.  It was not until years later that I would get anywhere in this game.  I have still never completed it.  This game is also known as Ultima III on other platforms – and it is on quite a few – PC, Apple II, Commodore, etc.  The NES port has a rather pleasing soundtrack for a NES title.  I especially like the menu and party selection track.  While the NES produces mono sound, I converted this in stereo, which I prefer despite not technically being true original…
