Ultima 9 Box Art Source Images

Box Layout

Even if you’re among the minority of Ultima fans who think ill of Ultima 9 as a game, it certainly cannot be contested that the box art for the last published entry in the Ultima series was both intricate and gorgeous. There’s a quite high-resolution scan of the front panel of the box at the Ultima Codex proper, but here is a collection of high-resolution images of the entirety of the game box, and even some of its inserts.

As you might expect, these images come from the deep trove of treasure known as the Mythic Archives; they were found on a CD image containing the original EPS file for each image. Which, naturally, have been made available below.

At any rate, enjoy! Sadly, the collection here is not complete; the EPS source files for a couple of pages of the insert were damaged, and could not be opened in Photoshop, GIMP, or any other image editing software I had available. If at some point I can recover those images, I will add them to the set here. For now, however, here is what there is to show.

    I may have included them in the download, actually. I’ll check. If not, I will definitely shoot you a Dropbox link.
