Merida, again
I´ve been itching to play Lazarus, but I don´t know if it works on WINE. Hope it does, otherwise I will be very angry.

recommending people to play Lazarus over Ultima V original is kindda like recommending people to play Baldur's Gate - Dark Alliance over Baldur's Gate the oriignal

the fuck is wrong with people?

to manually type every question in Ultima V is one of the highlights of the game, FFS

if you can't stand the graphics, then you're playing the wrong genre

BROS ALSO THIS IS JUST FROM HERESAY BUT I WOULD PLAY LAZARUS BECAUSE THEY EXPANDED THE STORY THAT WAS LIMITED AT THE TIME JUST LIKE ANOTHER BRO BEFORE ME STATED BUT AS PER MY REVIEW ULTIMA 5 STILL STANDS WELL TODAY IF YOU CAN GET USED TO A FEW THINGS

ALSO BROS I DIDNT TOTALLY REVIEW THE GAME I NEGLECTED EXPANDING OIN THE INTERFACE ON PURPOSE AS JAESUN HELPED ME CLARIFY THIS WAS MORE OF A RETROSPECTIVE THAN A REVIEW THE PURPOSE WAS TO GET PEOPLE INTERESTED IN OLDER GAM,ES IT WAS FOCUSED ON THE POSITIVE SHIT ON PURPOSE

BROS I HAVE HAD SHIT PUBLISHED IN MAGAZINES IN OTHER HOBBIES I APPRECIATE ANY CRITICISMS GETTING USED TO THE FLOW OF HOW THIS SHIT GOES

I'm late to the party and shit, but I just wanna say you did a great job of reviewing this game, Blobert. I'm actually interested in trying it now.
