He, it's funny how the worst game ever sold more than most of your favourite games or franchises. Ironic huh?

Fuck that, someone should get serious about looking for Ultima: Escape from Mt. Drash:

They could make some serious bank if the location/burial site was found:

FYI, I first read about this in Racket's article in GI a few months back!

I don't feel that it's the worst game ever. It was an adventure game with an objective. It was pretty ambitious for a 2600 game (so was raiders of the lost ark). If you had the manual, you were set. Unfortunately no one ever reads the manual.

It's become the posterboy of the crash, that's why people rip it to shreds. I was playing games at that time, and I can tell you the atari had plenty of other craptacular efforts that could take the title.
