Podcast Topic(s)
It’s been a goodly long while since Joe Garrity graced us with his presence, so we were only too happy to welcome him back to the podcast for a discussion about the Origin Museum, the collection of games, props, documents, and other artifacts that he has amassed over the years through his extensive network of relationships with former Origin Systems developers.
And in and amidst a very entertaining discussion about the history of Origin and the Ultima fandom, he — with the help of the Spam Spam Spam Humbug crew — goes through a series of documents from one of the many boxes in his archives, all of which pertain to the development of Ultima 7: The Black Gate. Along the way, we unearth some interesting behind-the-scenes glimpses at the development process for that game…and also uncover some previously-unknown things about it, content and characters that never made it into the game that hit store shelves.
It’s a fascinating — and lengthy! — discussion. What is more, Joe worked tirelessly to ensure that scans of all the documents discussed in this episode were available for the community to enjoy at the time this episode went live. You can find them over on the Origin Gallery at the Ultima Codex.
