These days, the slogan "We create worlds" doesn't resonate with computer game players the way it once did. However, 10 or 15 years ago, that slogan was routinely affixed to some of the best computer games ever released. Back in that day, Origin Systems, the Austin, Texas-based computer game developer, was firing on all cylinders with its Ultima and Wing Commander franchises, and in so doing, the company was truly living up to its ambitious tagline. However, in the last few years, Origin Systems seems to have quietly slipped into obscurity, even as its parent company, Electronic Arts, quickly built up momentum with its own EA Games brand. Now, it appears, Origin is poised to make an about-face and may finally be ready to return to the spotlight--and in so doing may even recapture some of its past glory. The reason for Origin's return to grace resides in the fact that it recently announced the upcoming release of Ultima X: Odyssey. Ultima X: Odyssey, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, continues the legacy established by one of the world's most famous, and most beloved, series of RPGs.
