» Planescape: Torment, Part 1: From the Tabletop… The Digital Antiquarian
By 1999, Interplay had begun crediting its internally developed CRPGs to “Black Isle Studios,” a distinction that represented very little difference, given that Black Isle shared office space and personnel with its parent publisher.

» Ultima IX The Digital Antiquarian
Years ago, [Origin Systems] released Strike Commander, a high-concept flight sim that, while very entertaining from a purely theoretical point of view, was so resource-demanding that no one in the country actually owned a machine that could play it. Later, in Ultima VIII, the company decided to try to increase their sales numbers by adding action sequences straight out of a platform game to their ultra-deep RPG. The results managed to piss just about everyone off. With Ultima IX: Ascension, the company has made both mistakes again, but this time on a scale that is likely to make everyone finally forget about the company’s past mistakes and concentrate their efforts on making fun of this one.

ATmosphere Games - (definitions for eligibility and interop)
As the number of games using rpg.actor increased, we realized a need for something that could declare what records a game requires, and how they could be verified. We wanted to build an Experiences Portal that could showcase games using the .sprite or .stats lexicons, and make clear how other games required or used the interoperable records from different games and projects. For example, how Clun’s Cannon uses the Jet Pack item from protoimsg.app, or how chaos.soccer verifies the Clown Shoes ...
