U8: Treasure Cove found & U7: The real plaque story

29th July 2003 by Dino

There is some important news today, so I'll take the occasion to introduce a new feature to Dino's Ultima Page - important news titles now have a black background to stand out more.

Kobra Kai has discovered Treasure Cove. It's been under our nose for years, and only now do I realise that the Slayer Quest is Treasure Cove. The Omissions and Slayer Quest walkthrough pages of my Ultima 8 Guide have been updated with proof that the Slayer dungeon is Treasure Cove (including a screenshot).

The Origin Museum has acquired exclusive photos and the real story of the origin of the plaque in Ultima 7 that kills Lord British. The story has been posted in my forum.

Another addition to my Ultima 8 Guide is that of more information about how to break out of area boundaries in Ultima 8, that I had posted in my forum some time ago.

And there's another change to my Guide to Ultima VIII - Pagan, in which information about breaking out of area boundaries and the Cheat Room (which both aren't cheating) have been moved from the Cheating page to the Hidden Things page. The "Hidden Things" page now serves to show discoveries and hidden goodies, while the "Cheating" page only deals with real cheating (i.e. using cheat programs, hackmovers, etc.).

The last update to my Ultima 8 Guide is on the Opinions page, where I have added a link to Ultima 8 opinions on UltimaDot.

Away from Dino's Ultima Page, UltimaDot has two new updates. One is about the anniversary of Dino's Ultima Page that was 2 days ago, and the other is about a news article on the German magazine Gamestar which links to some artwork. This artwork is shown to be of Ultima Online, but the Gamestar editor thinks it really belongs to Ultima X.

And finally, Waving Dragon is the latest dragon on the roster.
