Misleading us? Too close, are we?:>
i hope this new publisher deal will be GOG exclusive ( no Steam,D2D or Impulse release)

Menelkir: Ahh yes the device id of 8,1 can only mean a commodore 1541 drive. :)

Krankor: Or, to be hopelessly pedantic, the device id of 8, which could actually refer to a 1540, 1541, 1571, or possibly even 1581 (3.5" drive). The ,1 is a flag specifying that you are loading a machine language program instead of a BASIC program.
(What?!?! It's not like a thread with over 40 pages is going to seriously be derailed by my C64 reminiscences...)

I reckon they hired Doctor Who.
I'm sticking with Ultima. Sure, I know what the first clue "spelled out" but I don't buy it.
Ultima 2 - Time travel through history and fantasy worlds.
Ultima 4 - Karma and virtue system integral to victory.
Origin is pretty unexcelled...

Yes; that would be the definition of “mistake¨ in the given context ;)
I can't decide if I'd rather see ActiBlizz on board or EA; on one hand, ActiBlizz gets me Sierra and Starcraft/Diablo/Warcraft 3; on the other hand, EA gets me Maxis and Sid Meier/Fireaxis.

Thats it I now know the answer! The game being release is truly unexcelled as the worst licensed game ever made! Gentlemen I give you Destiny of the Doctors!

HAHAHAHA! How lame :D
The time travel surely points to EA, after all, they published the recent Red Alert game, as well as owning Westwood Studios (the original ones).

Actually... "Start guessing, we're giving you the first hint: The return of incredible karmic awareness." ...sure sounds like the Ultimas...or was that ridiculously covered already 20 pages ago?

I wouldn't have that thought that any game was "unexcelled". Especially EA games.
Edit: Sorry if that is a little bit too cynical.
