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!
I have a suspicion that I wouldn't get a long with Lord British.
ReplyDeleteSuddenly, I'm glad I killed him in Ultima IV.
ReplyDeleteWow, how did you kill him? I tried and got totally beaten up.
ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed that I remember this.

You could try it if you still have the Apple ][e I gave you.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!"
ReplyDeleteI have a partially working Apple IIe if you need parts.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't the Apple ][ just have one part? That big beige thing?
ReplyDeleteIt's the big beige thing + 2 external 5.25inch floppy drives. You had to have two to be an effective pirate!
