A few more details (and all of this happens within 10 minutes of firing up the game so don't worry - I'm not giving away all of the surprises!):

- Lord British says "I'm locking myself in this room and I'm not leaving until you fix this problem for me!"
- A guard says, "You're lucky - you get to leave! I'm SICK of this *($@(*$# song!
- Gwenno dumps Iolo and Iolo begs you to help him get her back
- Minax, Mondain and Exodus have taken over Empath Abbey, the Lycaeum and Serpent's Hold to corrupt the principles from Truth, Love and Courage to Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll. I'll leave it to your imagination to guess the eight principles!
- When you walk into the court of Yew, Judge Wapner - yes THAT Judge Wapner - is on the bench presiding a case over Tom Selleck vs. David Hasselhoff!
- When you walk into Vesper you run into Cooter, Roscoe, Boss Hogg and Daisy! (If you don't know who they are, I'm not telling you! Smile )
- When you run into a troll it's called a FORUM troll Laughing

There's a screenshot longplay on this site:

The game is absolutely hilarious - I wish PROFESSIONAL game designers would put as much effort into their games as this guy put into his!

Thank you for the praise of U4Part2 -- I'm glad you like it, I had a lot of fun putting it together.

I posted to that rpgcodex.net thread, since the door is obviously open to spoilers, a few more easter eggs and whatnot... there are plenty of jokes that the screenshots didn't cover.

)Those thinking of checking out the game: lots of laughs if you were into the early games in the Ultima series, at least 4 and 5... if you never played the Ultima games you'll wonder what the heck the whole thing is about.)

Chris, thanks for coming in here and posting that.

I simply cannot say enough good things about your game. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking all of that time to put that together and make it available. I wish PROFESSIONAL game designers paid as much attention to detail as you did.

Any Ultima fan OWES it to himself to download this game and play it. Satire aside, it truly feels like you're playing another official chapter of the ultima series - I mean the virtues are there (corrupted though they may be), all your old friends, the map, the dungeons, the keeps, Lord British, Annon etc. I'm going to stop typing because I can't do it justice - it is GREAT.

Out of curiosity, did anyone check this out as a result of my suggestion to do so? If so, what did you think?
