Ultima VI certificate

For Ultima III through Ultima VII, Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss, and Ultima VIII, players were invited to report to Lord British (Richard Garriott) at Origin after completing each game; in doing so, they would then be mailed a commendatory completion certificate. Such certificates were also issued for the first Ultima Trilogy compilation, while none were officially produced for Ultima Underworld II or Ultima VII Part Two, despite falling within the span of games for which they were offered.

With Origin's closure, completion certificates have since become desirable as collector's items. In 2015, however, Garriott pledged to continue honoring certificate requests such that signed reproductions may now instead be obtained by sending him, care of Portalarium, Inc., a stamped, self-addressed envelope with proof of completion.[1]

Description[edit]

Completion certificates are written in immersive style, personalized with the original recipient's name and, in most cases, signed by Garriott as Lord British.
