Ultima Online is such a great game that it continues to be played today, even with the limitations of its engine; the non-online Ultima games are still worth playing through if you can get used to the archaic quirks of DOS, even Akalabeth. It should be noted however, “worth playing” does not necessarily mean “worth beating.”
Someone named Diz made a modern soundtrack for Ultima Online, aptly titled Recall, to improve upon its aging MIDI tracks. In my judgement, Diz has succeeded brilliantly. All the tracks in this episode are freely available for download on Diz’s website.

When I first heard the term “podcast,” quite awhile ago, I somehow stumbled upon one called Audio Alchemy. It’s an audio experiment/art project and I was disappointed that only two episodes were ever made. I investigated where it came from, finding a strange bunch of electronical-type music by Empirical Records. Turns out its all creative commons so its ok for me to broadcast — err podcast — err… pro(a)dcast…
In 1997, New York City became a maximum security prison. Breaking out was impossible. Breaking in was insane. Once a lowly custodian, Mr. Clean’s tolerance for the shortcomings of others has waned. A cop with a war on his hands — his enemy: an army of street killers, his only ally: a convicted murderer. Blood money cleaned and banked, no longer the old, corroded money that once ran the world…
