1. The basic basics.
 
 The object of the game is to kill Minax, evil apprentice of Mondain
 who we met in the original Ultima. In the instuctions, it tells you
 about certain commands, but not which objects are necessary. These
 are: 
 
 View (V): This gives you a bird's eye veiw of the village, town,
 castle, time zone, or planet you are on. To use this command, you
 must have a helm. Enemy fighters often carry helms.
 
 Board (B): There is no problem boarding a horse or a plane; however,
 this is not the case with frigates (boats). To board a frigate, you
 need a blue tassle. Once abord, you can use thefire (F) command,
 which is more effective then any weapon a charactercan carry.
 
 Launch (L): Firstly, to launch a plane ora rocket, you need to have
 boarded it first. On a plane, you need to be carrying a skull key and
 a brass button to launch. To land, press L again while over grass
 land. If you try to land on a mountain, you die. If you try to land
 over water of forest, it will ignore your command. To launch a
 rocket, you need two things. First, you need to be wearing power
 armor. Second, you need to be carrying tri-lithiums. One tri-lithium
 is needed for each launch and hyper. Rockets can be found in a
 village in the aftermath (2112) time zone, on an inlet in the area
 that is currently Russia. The village is called Pirate's Harbor. You
 can get there only through the use of time doors and frigates. Rules
 for landing are the same as with planes. 
 
 Negate Time (N): This eliminates the enemy's ability to move, but not
 attack. You need a strange coin to negate. Each negate will eliminate
 one coin. 
 
 2. What can I do so that I do not die so quickly?
 
 I keep on running out of food. Food can be bought at a variety of
 villages and towns. If you are a thief, You can steal (S) the food;
 however, should you do this, beware of guards! If they see you, they
 will pursue and attack. 
 
 I get the crap beaten out of me, and run out of hit points. By time
 door and/or frigate, go to
 England in 300 BC or 1990. Enter the castle. On the North central
 area of the castle, there is a sign that says British. Under this
 sign, there is a king. This is Lord British. Transact with him, and
 he will take fifty gold, and raise your hit points by 300. Later in
 the game, he gives you 200, and then 100. You can have up to 9999 hit
 points. 
 
 3. Other problems.
 
 I work my rear end off to buy better armor and weapons, and when I
 buy them, the game tells me that I am either not agile enough to use
 the weapon, or not strong enough to wear the armor. What can I do? In
 North America in 1990, there is a town in the New Mexico area. On the
 Southwest corner of this town, there is a building called The Hotel
 California. In the South end of this building, there is a merchant.
 If you transact with this merchant, he will say "Welcome to the Hotel
 California". Offer him 100 gold. He will either reply "Thank you very
 much." or "Alakazam!". If he thanked you, nothing happened. If he
 said Alakazam, one of your atributes went up by four. The attribute
 is chosen by random. If strength is chosen, you will be able to wear
 better armor. If agility is chosen, you will be able to handle a
 better weapon, or achieve more hits with your current weapon. If
 intelect or wisdom is chosen, your spell casting ability will
 increase, if you are a magician or cleric. If your stamina was
 chosen, your ability to denfend from attack increases. If
 intelligence or charisma is chosen, your bargaining ability
 increases, causing prices to go down.  
 
 I launched a rocket and exploded! You are not wearing power armor!
 
 I went through something that looked like arrows moving up, and the
 game said "Field takes 1000 hit points!" Ah, you have encountered the
 force field. To go through this unharmed, you need the ring. I will
 tell you how to get this later.
 
 What about that Quicksword you mentioned? Ok, this varies. First I
 will give in-structions for users of any version that does not allow
 diagnal movement. First, get 500 gold. Then go to New San Antonio
 (the town with the Hotel California) and go to the upper left hand
 corner. There is a building marked "Airport". To get in you need
 three keys. To get keys, kill guards in any village where it is not
 to deadly. I suggest Pirate's Harbor in the aftermath time zone in
 Northern Russia. Steal a ship from their port,and fire away! Now,
 after you get to the inside of the airport, you will need to kill the
 fighter who owns it. This will get the guards on your tail. Quickly,
 board the plane, and launch. Do not leave the town. Head East towards
 the prison. Land on the grass directly outside the prison, since
 cobblestone can not be landed on. Taxi to the door, and unlock it
 (need a key!), and kill the guard. X-it the plane at the doorway. It
 will serve to block additional guards. Go to the cells, and enter the
 one containing a fighter (another key!). Offer him your 500 gold, and
 he will give you the Quicksword. Try to ready it, if you can't, you
 will need to return for more atributes. Go back to your plane. There
 will be several guards lined up there. Board your plane, launch, and
 get the hell out of there! The reason that you should not go directly
 to the prison is that without the plane there, those guards would
 enter and kill you. Okay, now for those who can move diagonally. For
 you, you need atotal of two keys, and 500 gold. Go straight to the
 prison. Unlock the door and go past the guard peacefully.Go to the
 fighter, open his cell, give him 500 gold. You can then try to ready
 the Quicksword, leave the prison, and move around the town without
 anyone bothering you. The Quick sword is the only weapon that can
 kill Minax.   
 
 4. Venturing onward.
 
 Note: Do not do this until you have both power armor and the
 Quicksword. Also have at least fifteen tri-lithiums. Why should I
 leave the Earth? It is fun, and neccasary for attaining the ring. Ok,
 how do I leave? Find Pirate's Harbor. It is in Aftermath, in North
 Russia. In the town, there is a boat dock that you might have used to
 raid this village. Steal a boat from there. Insted of going down and
 killing guards, go up. There is a building marked mission control,
 and many rockets. Board one. Launch it. After achieving Earth orbit,
 hyper to co-ordinates 9-9-9. You will either achieve orbit of planet
 X, or drift off course to deep space. If you drift, hyper again, if
 not, land. If you geta CMD: prompt, wait until you are over grass,
 then (L)and. If you get a <PRESS ANY KEY> prompt, again wait for
 grass and press any key. If you hit mountain, trees or water, you
 will die. If you land succesfully, X-it the rocket, and look for the
 castle. If you can't find it, try (V)iewing. Once you get there, you
 can go to the top and replace your hit points. Inside the left side
 maze, there is a cleric named Father Antos. To get to him you will
 have to go through swamp and avoid an attack. When you find him,
 (T)ransact with him. He will say "You have my blessing. Now return
 home and claim the ring!" You can get the ring now. From here, you
 can go to any of the other planets, or back to Earth (6,6,6).  
 
 Fine, I ventured and was blessed, now what? When you land on Earth,
 go to the AD time zone. Go to New San Antonio. Above the armory,
 there is a door to a forest. Open the door and go in. There is a sign
 that says "ATREE". There is an old man under atree. If you
 (T)ransactwith the response will be "An old man wispers 'I'm an old
 man.'". Give him 900 gold. He will give the ring. 
 
 5. Winning
 
  Here we go...First get as many hit points as you can, and get an
 airplane. Go by time door to the legends timezone. Launch, and go
 South. Land near the castle, and enter it. You will most likely be
 attacked by two devils. Do not attack them! The would let the guards
 loose on you. To get rid of them, I suggest (N)egating time. In the
 Northwest chamber, there is a maze of fields, which at the end of
 which is Minax!!! Attack her. When she get'slow on hit points, she
 will teleport to the other chamber. As you walk to the other chamber,
 you will be attacked by several monsters. Go to the other chamber,
 and kill Minax. 
 
  You have won!!!
