Richard Garriott is one of the most well-known personalities in the video game industry and one of the last pioneers still working. Ultima, his revolutionary series of computer role-playing games, and Origin Systems Inc, the company he co-founded in 1983, are inextricably linked to the evolution of the video game industry. This is their story.
Through the Moongate is my most ambitious project yet. Based on dozens of original interviews, it details the birth of Ultima, one of the longest-running computer role-playing game series; the founding and closing of Origin Systems Inc, one of the most influential North American companies; and the career of Richard Garriott, a name that needs no introduction.
The two-volume non-fiction book was crowdfunded and is now available for sale.
