"I saw you-right before you went to outer space." Lord British vs. Martha




Heisted from i09, or Kotaku, or something Gawker-y.

I have a suspicion that I wouldn't get a long with Lord British.

Suddenly, I'm glad I killed him in Ultima IV.

Mr. Pony said...

Wow, how did you kill him? I tried and got totally beaten up.

kamapuaa said...

I'm ashamed that I remember this.

Park a ship as close to the castle as possible. Go inside and attack Lord British. Run back outside, where the enraged LB will follow you. Board the ship, sail a little bit off shore, then spend a couple of hours blasting him with the ship's cannon.

In all honesty, not so much fun - but hey, check it out bragging rights 20 years later!

You could try it if you still have the Apple ][e I gave you.

Mr. Pony said...

I do! After being stored in Nuuanu for years, though, I'm afraid the moisture damage might make it explode like a nuclear bomb if I turn it on.

I still have the disks, though.

Re: Lord British V. Martha Stewart, I really like the "Mind the drawings, please" Hannibal Lecter moment when he tells her not to crank so fast.

I like the part where Martha goes all third grade on him and says "well I have a real one with twenty real birds in it!"

I have a partially working Apple IIe if you need parts.

Mr. Pony said...

Doesn't the Apple ][ just have one part? That big beige thing?

It's the big beige thing + 2 external 5.25inch floppy drives. You had to have two to be an effective pirate!
