Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar on the Nintendo/NES was one of my favorite games growing up and I made this review/video to discuss what I loved about the game from the perspective of the eight virtues. I haven't played the PC version of Ultima 4, though most of the reviews I read or saw were about the PC one which is why I made this, principally to preserve some of my favorite memories. The text of the review is based on my article at Tor.com:

Big thanks to Bridget McGovern at Tor.

A few notes: I'm not a formal video reviewer (aside from a few rambling posts, ha ha), so I always appreciate tips, especially as this is my first real youtube review. My Nikon was acting strange so I shot my game manual footage on a less than ideal camera- and this also explains why the audio shifts (despite poor footage, I still wanted to show the manual as it's great). I hope to get fixed equipment soon and hope it doesn't detract too much from the review. Thanks for watching!

Here's a link to the manual uploaded:
