I got Ultima 8 Gold Edition from Origin. If you're not familiar with how they run DOS games, they run through DOSBox on my Windows 8 computer. There is an easy way to save in the game, but it doesn't work. You can pause the game and "write your diary" to save the game, but when I quit and open the game again, I have to start from the beginning all over again! If someone could help me that would be appreciated.

julianmia : Yeah that game was on the house recently and I picked it up. I see what you are saying though. With some quick research it seems that some of the old DOS games on Origin have issues saving to the Origin "Cloud" But it seems that local save data is not affected.

The best suggestion I would have is to contact EA and see if they have a solution.

Never mind, I actually figured it out! I was clicking on the first journal entry, which is always the beginning of the game, which would take me back to the opening cutscene. However, clicking on an empty journal entry like journal entry 2 asked me to name my save file, and it worked! After restarting the game, instead of it going to the opening cutscene, I was brought right back to where I left off on my adventure.
