Spoony (Noah Antwiler) interviews Richard Garriott (Lord British) and they go through the original design documents for the Ultima games. Recommended for all fans of video games, especially RPGs, who want to know about how games were made back then. There's one video entitled "How To Draw On An Apple II" where the two just go through the original notebooks and folders with binary code, mathematical equations, little dots, hex code and such and LB explains how he had to actually calculate by himself how he could make certain dots appear and in the right colour. Near the end he explains how he programmed dialogue and quests. There's also anecdotes, reasoning behind controversial decisions and the technical limitations sometimes influencing them.
Very interesting. Search for "Britannia Burns" on Youtube or
