I never thought I would own a copy of Earthbound. Today the star aligned in my favor
Who could pass up a complete in box Duck Hunt for $4?

So the ad on Craigslist today and jumped on it. Total cost was $250 but after selling my duplicates I’m only out $100. It’s my first good haul in a long time and I feel great.
I bought all the Ultima games from gog.com since they are configured to play under Windows 7. I decided to transfer my game file from Ultima 4 to 5 since my Avatar was maxed out. Unfortunately I kept getting the error that my save file was corrupted.
I searched for hours trying to find a solution but nothing worked. I found a fixparty program but it wouldn’t run under Win7 64. I finally came across a post where the user modified the dosboxULTIMA5_single.conf file. I tried it with no luck. I was beginning to think that it wasn’t going to happen when I realized the conf file had the wrong directories.
That’s it. You should now have a head start in Ultima V.
This is without a doubt one of my favorite games to play. I had a little trouble getting a boat to spawn, got lost a few times, and had fun every step of the way. If you ever play any Ultima game this is the one. Play it on the PC (it’s free at gog.com) or play it on the NES, just play it.
Update: This happened shortly after I posted my accomplishment on twitter. How fantastic is it that Richard Garriott aka Lord British takes the time to personally congratulate everyone who wins an Ultima game?
Originally released for the Famicon, The Goonies was never offically released in the U.S. The only reason I knew it existed at all was because it was in the Player’s Choice 10 arcade machine at a Pizza Hutt I frequented. It’s a reproduction and I’m kind of mad at myself for not getting the Konami syle label on it. I’m going to order the box and manual when I can find one I like.
