Whatever the reason for its late appearance in the Master System library, in 1990, the year where PC gamers first got to play the sixth entry in the ever increasingly popular series and five years after its initial inception on 8-bit computers, the Master System port of Ultima IV found its way into European homes (and later on to Brazil as well). As the story goes, Nintendo was very unhappy to learn that Origin planned to allow a port of one of its games to a Sega console and, depending on the source, either filed suit or threatened to sue Origin, delaying the release even further.

Yet none of these games was ever brought over to a SEGA console… except one. Overall, the entire Ultima series consists of nine main entries (technically 9.5, seeing that Ultima VII was released in two parts, possibly inspiring the Final Fantas tick of sequelizing individual sequels), four semi-canonical spin-off computer games (The Worlds of Ultima and Ultima Underworld games), two console-only sequels licensed by Nintendo ( Runes of Virtue I & II) and probably the mother of all modern MMORPGs, Ultima Online (let’s just ignore all those post- 2000 free-to-play-bastardizations by EA and pretend those never happened). The latter even got a few original Ultima games of its own. But Origin wasn’t blind to the reemerging console scene and also permitted several of its Ultima games on the NES ( Ultima III, IV and V) as well as the SNES ( VI and VII). So of course, it was ported to pretty much every single home computer in existence. The fourth entry, Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar, created in 1985, is generally regarded as a major game changer and one of the best games of its era, not only within the context of the series but also of the computer gaming landscape in general. At least up until its eighth installment, each new installment introduced some new element that made the series stand out from most of its contemporaries. Its individual entries soon became somewhat of a benchmark for western computer role-playing games for years to come.
