Ultima 5: Warriors of Destiny

Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny is a role-playing video game developed and published by Origin Systems in 1988. It is the fifth installment in the highly influential Ultima series, created by Richard Garriott. Initially released for the Apple II and Commodore 64, it was later ported to DOS, Atari ST, Amiga, and other platforms. The story picks up shortly after the events of Ultima IV. The player, known as the Avatar, returns to Britannia to find it under the oppressive rule of Lord Blackthorn, who has taken control in Lord British's absence. The Avatar must restore peace by overthrowing Blackthorn and rescuing Lord British, who is imprisoned in the Underworld.

Retro gamer collector's corner:

The Ultima V box contained:

  • a Book of Lore
  • a Underworld Journal
  • a player reference card
  • a quick reference card
  • a cloth map of Britannia
  • a metal coin with the Codex symbol
  • 4x 5.25" disks

The game box differs between editions only by screenshots on the back. The Atari ST version depicts (left to right): a giant mouse in a dungeon; Castle British area including the player, a ship and a headless; and battle screen with player casting 'In Flam Hur' on various skeletons. The first IBM version depicts (left to right): a fountain in a dungeon; Castle British area including the player, a ship and a horse; and the interior of an inn.
