This was the first hintbook to be written in a narrative style. In other words, it's actually interesting to read! It also contains a full-blown dictionary of the entire Gargoyle language, substantially larger than what appears in the Ultima VI game texts themselves. Credits for the Gargoyle language go to Herman Miller. One note: apparently there was an Commodore 64 update page for this hintbook that could be requested for free from Origin.
