Here it is: the Official Golf Ball of
Ultima III: Exodus. Back in 1983, if you found this ultra-rare object included in your
Ultima III game box, you won an all-expenses paid trip to Lord British’s backyard swimming pool.
Ok, so I made that up. I actually found this golf ball in my back yard recently and thought it mildly amusing. The ball’s shape looks warped purely because my flatbed scanner wasn’t designed to scan 3D spherical objects. I wonder if Richard Garriott uses this brand when he hits the green.

Heh, that’s a crazy similarity! ^_^ Didn’t one of the Infocom games come with a golfball?
