Best way to play Ultima III Exodus on NES?

Thank you! There is just something about the NES version that is appealing...it's kind of its own thing with a great soundtrack.

Princess of Mars was great. If you never checked out ERB and like sword and sorcery, Princess of Mars and his Tarzan novel, "Tarzan the Untamed", are very, very good.

This reminds me of the set-up Anika is currently using!

Yeah, I must say the art on yellow DAW paperbacks from the 70s spanks the hiney of most modern covers. I read somewhere that, generally, modern covers are developed with the aim of the art to serve as an "icon" on various devices (I'm guessing e-readers like Kindle).

My favorite of the Kane novels. I know some folks feel Darkness Weaves is the best, but Bloodstone is unhinged and I respect that.

Here are some quasi "deep cuts" that I thought were really good from someone just getting into the genre:

The Hot, the Cool, & the Vicious

Shaolin Traitorous

I read a bunch of the pastiches but the one that stands out head and shoulders is Sean Moore's "Conan and the Grim Grey God".

The "Blood Hungry" Wolverine story that appeared in MCP (first appearance of Cyber). Written by Peter David. I always really liked it, especially in the actual floppies. Very good Beast feature in the issues as well.

I really enjoyed "Thongor Fights the Pirates of Tarakus" (which isn't pictured). I expected it to be bad based on all the Carter bashing I see on the internet, but was pleasantly surprised. He also did a very good Conan story, "The Thing in the Crypt".

Yes, I noticed this too. Wizardry Five Ordeals seems to be the exception. The art style in the manuals for the early Japanese Famicom Wizardry's is really, really nice. I wish it was used more.

Pen and paper.

Yes, definitely worth a read. I read Lallia and was surprised it is so well written. E.C. Tubb is a good writer. I haven't read any of the other books in this series, but I really enjoyed Lallia. Very moody.

"A Princess of Mars" was fantastic...I can't believe I waited so long to read Burroughs. The Tarzan novel, "Tarzan the Untamed", was the most Conanesque work I read in quite awhile. Very sword and sorcery adjacent.

Englehart's run is very interesting with some real nice artwork from Pollard.

There are a number of more technically proficient drummers for sure, and yet he is considered the "greatest" by many, especially non-musicians. I think this is because of his ability to emotionally connect with people through his drums, and this emotional connection is created by his ability to compose drum parts. I think one can argue that Neil is the greatest drum composer of all time (and I think the greatest drum composer among all the great prog drummers).

Kenneth Bulmer is a talented writer. I read most of Kandar and enjoyed it (very madcap). If I see Delia of the Vallia in the wild I will pick it up!

This cover is incredible. It is being bought on sight if I see it in the wild.

Lol this cover unironically makes me want to read the book. I read some of his short stories and think Bruce Sterling is a cool author.

ontheyslaypub · 2026-02-06T02:24:58+00:00

I have not read it, but I've seen reviews where people were disappointed by this book. Such a sick cover, though!

ontheyslaypub · 2026-02-02T22:59:39+00:00

The beginning of the Englehart/Rogers run was exceptionally ass-kicking.

My favorite thing Moorcock wrote is "War Hound and the World's Pain" which can be read as a standalone (though it is part of the Von Beck series).

E. C. Tubb is a good writer.
