Ryu Number: Owen Garriott

Owen Garriott was an American astronaut who spent approximately two months in Skylab 3, taking—at the time—the shared world record for longest spaceflight (it'd be broken less than half a year later, but that's still awesome). More relevantly for us (i.e. those of us interested in Ryu Numbers), he was the father of Richard Garriott, the creator of the Ultima game series, so it's no surprise that the latter stuck a cameo of the former in Ultima II: The Revenge of the Enchantress:

That's the finish line. The problem, as always, is getting there.

It's generally accepted that each Ultima game features the same individual as protagonist—that is, that the same repeat isekaiee stars in each major installment of the series. Assuming that this is true, and that this protagonist—referred to by lore as "The Stranger" or "The Avatar"—is the same dude whichever game they're in, Owen Garriott has a Ryu Number of at most 4.

That said, early installments of the Ultima series were a bit iffy on whether the protagonist was the same individual game to game, so maybe you're iffy, too. Fair enough! You can still get a Ryu Number of at most 4 for Owen Garriott following an alternate route.

Apologies if you're learning it just now, but there's a fighting game where you can have Santa Claus and the Buddha duke it out. It's on Steam. Jesus is there, too, but Santa Claus seemed funnier.

Oh, and apparently the Buddha is in some versions of Ultima IV. You know he's the Buddha because when you talk to him he says, "I am Buddha," and says stuff at you from the Dharmapada. Which may seem odd, but if I had a list of historical or public domain individuals I wouldn't be too surprised by seeing after getting isekaied to another world, the Buddha would be up there. That's so Buddha!

"But my guy," says the imaginary version of you I've built up in my head without actually knowing you, "'Buddha' is a title. This Britannian dude could be any old Buddha! The Theravadas acknowledge twenty-nine of them, and they're on the stingy end!"

To which I say: Come on, my dude, you know that whenever anyone west of the prime meridian says "Buddha" they're talking about Gautama. Are you really gonna make me do this?

Fine.

Yes, Short Round is also in Ultima IV.

Ultima II: The Revenge of the Enchantress

1982; PC.

Uma das minhas "Resoluções Gamer de Ano Novo" é zerar todos os games da série Ultima, considerada a criadora dos RPGs eletrônicos modernos. A intenção, na verdade, é jogar só o Ultima VII e Underworld 1&2, mas como tenho algum tipo de obsessão compulsiva que me faz querer ler/assistir/jogar todas as obras de uma franquia em ordem cronológica, cá estou.

Eu já tinha zerado o primeiro Ultima ano passado, então parti logo para o II. Muita gente considera ele o pior jogo da série. Após cerca de 10 horas de jogatina, estou incluso no grupo.

Não vou ficar aqui chutando cachorro morto. Se quiserem uma dissecação extensiva de tudo o que há de errado no game, recomendo esse artigo do CRPG Addict (ótimo blog, diga-se de passagem, super recomendo). Um resumo para quem não sabe inglês: Ultima 2 não faz sentido em mecânica, nem narrativamente. O game é pouco mais do que uma série de mapas desconexos. Zerá-lo é apenas um teste de paciência, ver o quanto o jogador aguenta ficar horas grindando por dinheiro e matando inocentes para conseguir itens necessários.

“Ah, mas é um jogo de 1982″. De fato, mas isso não justifica. Ultima 2 é um regresso em comparação ao primeiro game e é contemporâneo de clássicos de Wizardry (que não joguei, mas vou confiar na palavra do CRPG Addict de que era maneiro). Mesmo para os padrões da época, uma decepção. Para os padrões modernos? Quase injogável.

Bem, o próximo da lista é Ultima III, que dizem ser maneiro. Pior que tá não fica...

Ultima II: Revenge of the Enchantress (1982 Computer Game By Sierra On-Line). The gameplay is very similar to the previous game in the series, Ultima. The scope of the game is bigger, in that there are several more places to explore, even though some of them (like most of the solar system planets and the dungeons and towers) are optional and not required to complete the game. #ultima #ultima2 #ultimaii #richardgarriott #revengeoftheenchantress #sierraonline #rpg #roleplaying #1982 #computer #computergame #pcgame #computergames #computergaming #classic #computergamer #computergamers #pc #pcgaming #pcgamer #pcgames #retro #retrogames #retrogaming #videogaming #nostalgia #vintagegames #vintagegaming #retrosociety

Reviewing Sierra Online System's "Ultima II: The Revenge of the Enchantress" from a deep philosophical perspective involves exploring its narrative, thematic content, and gameplay mechanics in the context of broader existential, metaphysical, and ethical questions.

1. The Personification of Evil and Moral Dualism: Minax, as the central antagonist, embodies the concept of evil in the game. Her role as the enchantress seeking revenge can be interpreted through the lens of moral dualism, a philosophical concept that posits a binary opposition between good and evil. Minax’s character invites players to contemplate the nature of evil – whether it is an intrinsic part of the universe or a product of individual actions and choices. Her presence in the game raises questions about the origins of malevolence and the challenges in combating forces that are seemingly beyond human understanding.

2. The Quest Against Evil as an Allegory of Human Struggle: The player's journey to defeat Minax can be seen as an allegory of the human struggle against adversity and malevolent forces. Philosophically, this reflects the existential battle against the absurd and chaotic elements of existence. Minax, as a representation of these forces, challenges the player to confront and overcome not just external threats, but also internal fears and moral dilemmas.

3. The Role of Female Antagonists in Mythology and Storytelling: Minax’s portrayal as a female antagonist draws on deeper mythological and storytelling traditions where female figures often embody complex aspects of morality and power. This aspect of the game invites a feminist philosophical analysis, exploring how female characters in roles of power are depicted, especially in the context of moral and ethical conflicts. It raises questions about gender stereotypes in narrative constructs and the portrayal of female characters as embodiments of moral challenges.

4. The Impact of Minax’s Actions on Time and Space: Minax’s actions in the game disrupt the fabric of time and space, which aligns with philosophical themes of chaos and order. Her ability to manipulate time and space invites reflection on the metaphysical concepts of reality’s nature and the human desire to understand and control the forces that shape existence. It echoes philosophical inquiries into the nature of the universe and the limits of human understanding and control.

5. Ethical Consequences of Power and Revenge: Minax’s pursuit of revenge and the power she wields raise ethical questions about the use and abuse of power. Her character exemplifies the moral corruption that can arise from the desire for revenge and unchecked power. Philosophically, this aspect of the game explores themes of justice versus vengeance and the ethical implications of seeking retribution, especially when it leads to broader harm and chaos.

6. The Symbolism of Minax as an Archetypal Villain: Finally, Minax serves as a symbolic archetypal villain, a common figure in philosophical discussions about the human condition. Her role in the game can be seen as a manifestation of the Jungian shadow, representing the darker, unacknowledged aspects of the psyche. Her character challenges players to confront not only the external manifestation of evil but also the internal, often unexplored aspects of their own morality and ethical choices.

In conclusion, Sierra Online System's "Ultima II: The Revenge of the Enchantress," enriched by the role of the enchantress Minax, offers a complex tapestry for philosophical exploration. The game engages players with a multifaceted array of themes, including the nature of time and space, the quest for knowledge, moral ambiguity, and the hero's journey, all within the framework of the tension between free will and determinism. The incorporation of Minax's character deepens this exploration, bringing in additional dimensions such as the nature of evil, the human struggle against adversity, gender roles in mythology, and the metaphysical disruption of reality. It also raises critical questions about the ethics of power and revenge and delves into the symbolism of the archetypal villain. Through its narrative, gameplay, and characters, "Ultima II" provides a rich and profound platform for players to engage with deep existential, metaphysical, ethical, and psychological questions, making it a remarkable example of how video games can intersect with complex philosophical discourse.
