Experience Worlds of Ultima: The Savage Empire, developed and published by Origin Systems in 1990. Journey to the Valley of Eodon—an untamed world of jungle tribes, dinosaurs, and lost technology—built on the Ultima VI engine. Form alliances, solve culture-spanning quests, and combine tribal knowledge with strange artifacts to confront the Myrmidex threat. Conversational clues, item crafting, and environmental problem-solving reward careful observation over brute force. It’s a richly atmospheric spin-off that blends classic Ultima systems with pulpy adventure.
Rooted in RPG pillars like Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar (1985) and Ultima VI: The False Prophet (1990), The Savage Empire pushed the series toward narrative “world tours” with localized cultures and puzzle-forward exploration. Its exotic-setting, systems-driven approach helped pave the way for Ultima: Worlds of Adventure 2 – Martian Dreams (1991) and echoed into later story-rich, culture-focused RPGs such as Albion (1995). Expect meaningful trade-offs between diplomacy, crafting, and combat tempo—scouting, note-taking, and clever item use win the day.
This Big Box New & Sealed release pairs naturally with Martian Dreams for a definitive Worlds of Ultima duo, or with Ultima VI/VII to show the franchise’s shift into narrative-dense, simulation-flavored worlds. A tidy add for collectors curating Origin Systems milestones, jungle-pulp aesthetics, and early ’90s DOS RPG design.
