* Ultima: The Ultimate Collector's Guide (Ultima 4 Sample) (6.5 MiB, 172 hits)
This section gives a very good idea of just how comprehensive the guide is, as it steps through over forty different release versions of Ultima 4 across numerous platforms, examining in detail both the unique items that were included with each, as well as the subtle variations in things like maps and manuals that existed between versions and systems.
You can download the fifty (50)-page document above, or simply browse through the JPEG images in the gallery to read it here online. Many thanks to Mr. Emond for releasing this sample, and for all the hard work he has put into cataloguing all the many different in-box items that came with each release and re-release of Ultima 4.
And don’t forget: you can pick up copies of Ultima: The Ultimate Collector’s Guide at Createspace or Amazon
