Talk:Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness

Town names
Most of the "town" characters in Ultima I were named after friends of Richard Garriott (though he used their pseudonyms from the Society for Creative Anachronism in most cases). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.33.164.224 (talk • contribs).

Fair use rationale for Image:Ultima1.gif
Image:Ultima1.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 16:25, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

My recent edit

 * Explaining a few things about my recent edit. The most reliable source is of course from the man himself, in his official book, The Official Book of Ultima, which I referenced at a few more places.  It says he sold 50,000 copies of this game.  This is from the original version, not any of the many times it was included in various collections.   D r e a m Focus  10:53, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

By June 1982 it sold 20,000 copies and by 1990 it had sold 50,000 copies. The second part seems a bit misleading. The reference doesn't show what year the sales figures were from. I doubt it continued to sell equally well for 8 years. Perhaps "went on to sell" 50,000 copies.  D r e a m Focus  12:32, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Lead-in: "Exclusively" for the Apple II
"Exclusively" indicates other options were actively excluded. Maybe "solely" is a better word in this case? Scottman 01 (talk) 13:01, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, seems like "originally released for the Apple II" should be sufficient. Sneftel (talk) 14:21, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
