The Retro Rents -- EP087 -- Richard Garriott Comes to Visit!
Monday Mar 21, 2022
Monday Mar 21, 2022
Hosts on Deck: Al, Nick, RICHARD FREAKING GARRIOTT, LORD BRITISH, GAME DESIGNER, ENTREPRENEUR, ASTRONAUT, WORLD EXPLORER, MODERN DA VINCI!
That's right folks! The moment you all know that I've been planning, hoping, waiting for since we started this podcast over four years ago! For any who many not know (though nearly all of you will) Richard is the creator of the Ultima series of video games. His company, Origin (and he as well) created the world's first officially titled MMORPG (Richard actually coined the phrase!) Ultima Online!
We take a ride through Richard's history in the Game industry, do a bit of a deep dive on UO as well. We also talked about many of Richard's incredible adventures as an Explorer and Astronaut. We talk about the recently discovered Endurance Shipwreck, and Shackleton being one of Richard's heroes.
Seriously. This episode is just GOLD for me and Nick, and we hope you all enjoy it as much as we did talking to Richard!
Richard, thank you again for spending time with us, and as always, for sharing the worlds that you and Origin created.
