Okay,
I also support the fact that the Amiga Version of the great Ultima V was some
what of a disappointment. Sure, writing a game like Ultima is not easy to do
and with that in mind I do want to say that they didn't do a bad job. I mean
at least it has all functions of the other ones.  Origin must have had
some pretty good reason for not making it HD installable or at least faster
loading.  Perhaps Origin suffers a lot under Piracy of their games and
thus felt this was necessary in order to make some profit, who knows.
If Origin is reading this then I would suggest a manual protection or
good old fashioned key-disk protection but at least make it HD installable
so that playability increases. Ultima VI will not be playable at all if it
is ever converted in a fashion similar to this one.

PS: I bought the IBM Version and saw the Amiga Version at a friends place and
    am not buying the Amiga Version.
