    Bloody brilliant! Thank you!

    I hope the Asimov sysop doesn't take 8 months to move it out of the

    That happens on their schedule, and I'm just happy that it's an option.
    I can share it with you if you want it sooner.

    That's OK, I should just be patient.

    I can't talk about not sorting archives when What is the Apple IIGS has
    been static for the past 3 years.

    No worries, it'll be worth the wait with Eric's curated release, which
    I've been enjoying for Wizardry I.

    Aztec release version.
    This is one that most people won't have seen before, since we all had the pre-release version.
    The release version has an animated title screen, credits, and a high
    score table!

    Can you recall what's different between this Ultima III release and the
    last one you did?

    Your first Ultima III release I *think* was after your revised Ultima
    IV and V modifications.
