Apologies for any typos - my keyboard & mouse are playing up so don't always register key presses etc. Will replace them after Christmas.

Fans of my channel may remember I did a GameBoy Advent Countdown a couple of years back & a Jagvent Calendar last year - a different mystery game each day of December. I thought I'd do something a similar this year for the Sega Master System - a console I have lots of fond memories of.

I won't reveal the game in the Title but in the Description.......well that's a different matter. Does anyone other than me actually read them?

This is Ultima IV. The Ultima games were a long running & successful series of RPG's on home computers & were the brainchild of Richard Garriott (Lord British in the games!).

This port is an excellent game on the system. It has been ported well but the depth & mechanics show its origins as a western Computer game as opposed to the style & mechanics more commonly seen in the Japanese console RPG's of the time.

Its a difficult game to show in a short video like this & I've not played it for many, many years. It comes with a map & a couple of books that explain the world & lore etc

There are a number of superb RPG's on the Master System - again another genre not commonly associated with the system but it has a number of absolute belters.

This is my original PAL copy from back in the day played through a Powerbase convertor on my CDX/MultiMega through a Retrotink 5X for ease of capture.

Expect a different Master System game every day. Happy Christmas!
