Product Description
Hey there, game fans! Mr. M here, ready to tell you all about a true classic:
Ultima: Runes of Virtue II for the GameBoy! Wowie! This game is a Fantastic adventure in the magical world of Britannia. You step into the shoes of one of the four heroes - Shamino, Iolo, Dupre, or Mariah - and embark on a mission to rescue the kidnapped Lord British. The gameplay is a mix of action and puzzles, as you navigate dungeons, defeat enemies, and solve challenging puzzles. Developer Origin Systems really put in their best effort to create an immersive experience. And that makes me super cheerful!
Historical Context
Ultima: Runes of Virtue II was released in 1993 and was one of the few titles in the Ultima series developed exclusively for a handheld console. This game builds upon the rich history of the Ultima series, which began in the '80s and is considered one of the pioneers of the RPG genre. It was a time when handheld gaming was really starting to flourish, and this game showed that deep RPGs were also possible on portable consoles. Fantastic, isn't it?
