After the release of Ultima, Richard Garriott found himself looking for a publisher. In spite of his unique demands, he'd find a willing partner in Sierra On-Line. This video chronicles the story of Sierra up until (and including) their association with Richard Garriott, and Ultima II: The Revenge of the Enchantress.

This is the 2nd video in my Ultima Retrospective series. Watching Part 1 isn't necessary to enjoy this video, but it is recommended. It can be found here:
