Ultima IV (Master System)

[devilman]

According to the DP guide -

'Originally packaged with a map and two books. There's 3 different versions of these: English, German or French. Later copies just included the multi-language manual and no extras. Also distributed in Canada.'

What was the second book? Both my copies just have an instruction manual and map.. nothing else so I'm a bit confused. None of the copies on Ebay UK have anything extra.

I have it - brand new..

It comes with the normal game box, normal instructions, fold out paper map, and I believe the two extra books were shrink wrapped to the back of the box.

Its packed away at the moment, but the two books are rather nice, they are sort of story books, blue in colour, very very high quality, lots of great artwork and runic Ultima stuff in them.

According to The Collectible Ultima (http://www.notableultima.com/collectibles/Title_U4.html#UltimaIV_Sega), the two extra booklets are "History of Britannia" and "Book of Mystic Wisdom".

Are they only a few pages, stiff material kinda like an older restaurant menu, somewhere between construction paper and cardboard? That's what I have for Ultima 3. Pressed too, to give 'em texture (iirc).

They look like the same ones included with the computer versions of the game.
