Runes of Virtue

From Editable Codex

Ultima: Runes of Virtue was developed by Origin and published by FCI for the Nintendo GameBoy in 1992.

Unlike the other games of the Ultima universe, this is actually mostly an action game, with only very thin relations to the main series. The only thing worthy of note is, that the game is capable of multi-player, making it the first Ultima to offer this option.

[edit] Included with the game

There wasn't much that came with the game. Only the instruction manual was in the box with the game module.

[edit] Differences between the ports

Ultima: Runes of Virtue was developed for the Ninendo Game Boy. There are no other official ports.

[edit] The Story

---

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

---

There isn't much story to the game (what do you expect from a GameBoy game?).

Basically, the Black Knight (who acts like a total moron) is some sort of threat towards Britannia, and the Player has the job to stop him from getting away with it. There isn't much more to it.
