Mr. Garriott was the creator of the Ultima series; he was also a co-founder of Origin Systems. Here's his own take on things:

"I published my first game, Akalabeth (the Ultima prequel), in 1980 and then began work on the Ultima series. My brother Robert and I founded Origin in 1983 with some friends and family. Through the end of the century, my teams and I created Ultimas 1 “9 , UO , three Worlds of Ultima games, a handful of mission disks, and a few other spin-off games . At my new company, NCSoft, we now operate the world's number-one online game with more than four million subscribers, and we hope to create grand new worlds for players to explore and adventure within!"
