Origin Systems
Origin Systems, Inc. was an American video game developer based in Austin, Texas. It was founded on March 3, 1983, by Richard Garriott and his brother Robert. Origin is best known for their groundbreaking work in multiple genres of video games, such as the '' Ultima'' and '' Wing Commander'' series. The company was purchased by Electronic Arts in 1992. History Brothers Richard and Robert Garriott, their astronaut-engineer father Owen, and programmer Chuck Bueche founded Origin Systems in 1983 because of the trouble they had collecting money owed to Richard for his games released by other companies. Origin was initially based in the Garriotts' garage in Houston, Texas. The company's first game was '' Ultima III: Exodus''; because of Ultima's established reputation and the fact that the company's games were released on computers and not consoles, Origin survived the video-game crash of 1983 which affected console game developers in North America. It published many non-''Ultim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Serpent Isle
''Ultima VII Part Two: Serpent Isle'' is a role-playing video game released in 1993 as part of the core Ultima (series), ''Ultima'' series, its story beginning eighteen months after the conclusion of ''Ultima VII: The Black Gate''. In ''Serpent Isle'', the Avatar (Ultima), Avatar follows Batlin to the eponymous land called Serpent Isle, finding three city-states founded by those who left Britannia generations before and ancient ruins from a still-older lost civilization that was there long before them. This is the first game in the main ''Ultima'' series to take place in its entirety outside Britannia as it has been known since ''Ultima III: Exodus, Ultima III''. It is also more linear than the earlier parts—unlike the earlier games, where the order in which quests were completed was of little concern, the new approach makes it possible to give the game a more carefully plotted storyline, while at the same time somewhat limiting the player's choice.''MobyGames: Ultima VII: Part ...
