for this ?¬? rst version was a Ziploc bag. Akalabeth later got picked up by a publisher and sold well. Garrio
used what he learned to create Ultima, and thus one of the most famous game series of all time began.

?· If results are positive and the idea or system
appears to be successful, the iterative process
has been completed.
As you will see, we will apply this process during
almost every aspect of game design, from the initial
conception through the ?¬? nal quality assurance testing.
