Ultima: 25th Anniversary Edition

The 25th Anniversary Edition was planned to be a compilation of Ultima games by Electronic Arts (as Origin had become defunct earlier) in the year 2005. Ultimately, it got cancelled.

However, the collection never saw the light of the day. It was not announced to the public, but at a UO meet-up they dropped a few teaser hints about the Ultima 25th Anniversary Edition. It was originally supposed to come out November 2005, but then got pushed back to January 2006 before eventually being cancelled altogether.

The only two things that survived were the game box art and a never-released advertisement (which also advertised the never-released Wing Commander-Collection), both made by Stephen Emond.

Planned Contents
The collection was supposed to hold the following things:


 * Windows XP-compatible versions of all Ultima-games ever released, with exception of both Runes of Virtue and Escape from Mt. Drash.
 * Special history book
 * Soundtrack CD
 * Atlas for all games
 * In-game items for each game
