Podcast Topic(s)
Andrea Contato’s Through the Moongate, per its Kickstarter page, “illuminates the path of the Ultima games' history and the creative people behind this landmark series. It also covers some of Origin’s other games, especially Wing Commander, and touches on several contemporary titles. Many of these tales have never before been told.” The book “aims to be a more complete account of Origin’s history than has ever been presented before.”
This episode covers Origin Systems' struggle to adapt to developing Ultima 6 for MS-DOS.

Podcast Topic(s)
If you could have the ear of somebody who could make a new Ultima game, even for a minute...what would your proposal for that game be?
That was the topic suggested just prior to this episode’s recording session, and by and large it’s the topic we stuck with all through the conversation.
